Before, the Clash had experimented with reggae, but that was no preparation for the dizzying array of styles on London Calling. There's punk and reggae, but there's also rockabilly , ska, New Orleans R&B, pop, lounge jazz, and hard rock, and while the record isn't tied together by a specific theme, its eclecticism and anthemic punk function as a rallying call. London Calling blends political themes with powerful rock energy, delivering a bold statement on working-class rebellion and anti-establishment views. Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, and Paul Simonon fuse these ideas with classic rock traditions, creating one of the most influential albums in rock history. Show more
