Title: The Punk movement's best album
Review: At the end of the decade, Rolling Stone magazine tabbed "London Calling" as the best rock album of the 1980s, despite the fact that it was released in late 1979. Nevertheless, the title is well deserved, for this is rock and roll at its best. The Clash still had the raw edge and the angry politics that mark the best of punk rock, but they had also developed a strong songwriting ability that overflows this disc with nineteen blasts of pure pleasure. What is surprising is how diverse the individual songs are, with reggae and jazz influences, among others, evident. Despite being twenty years old, the album is not dated in the slightest and ranks as a must own for the rock record collector.
