"Complete Control" had by more the most #1 votes with 7, but there were 25 different songs that got a #1 vote out of 43 ballots.

999 points is a suitably punky kissoff

I don't remember "Straight to Hell" being such a big deal at the time--maybe I'm wrong. Is it revered now primarily because of the sample?

My amazing challops for the day: I don't like Janie Jones very much.
Didn't vote in this cos lazy. Tommy Gun was too low, one of my favourite straight punk rock songs by them, Career Opportunities another good one but that did OK. Complete Control prob would've been my #1 I guess, criticisms of which are completely founded but I like it anyway

"Complete Control" graphic is perfect! Thanks, Gukbe!
xp: "Straight to Hell" was a big deal to Clash fans right away, I think. Besides being a live staple and on SNL and a single, it was kind of a sadder flipside to "Born in the U.S.A." during the right years to be that.

greil marcus once called 'complete control' the greatest rock'n'roll recording of all time. i know it's greil marcus and he's probably said that about 90 other songs, but that's the one he was right about.
