Top Twenty Songs : I Fought The Law
Time for some old school punk, I think :
In the age old 'Clash or Sex Pistols' debate, there really is no contest - The Clash were so, so much more. They copped a bit of flak from other punks for rejecting nihilism; which brings to mind a quote from 'The Big Lebowski' - "I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude - at least it's an ethos".
I am - of course - not claiming that The Clash were Nazis.
I chose this Clash track over other ones because I thought at least one cover should make the list; and this is a perfect example of a band really making the song their own. Plus, it rocks.
