https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEK9oK02D1M/mu/ will look you straight in the eye and tell you this is a punk album
>>130670605It's THE punk album
London Calling: making weenies seethe since 1979.
>>130670605>in order to be punk, you need to uhhh, stick to the rules !!!!!
if you can play, it ain't punkand if it was after 1980 it ain't punk
>>130671253>this car is a lamborghini>what? no it isnt, its a prius>LOL YOU SEETHE?
>>130670605Why isn't this a punk album OP?
>>130673098Its a pop-jazz album with maybe 1 punk song on it. Lost in the supermarket, rudie cant fail, and Jimmy jazz are so 'easy listening' and non abrasive that the only way one can consider them 'punk' is by being literally tone deaf
>>130673138>pop-jazz albumThis is what the pedantry of this thread was about, so you could call London Calling a "pop-jazz album"? How do you avoid putting a shotgun under your chin on a day to day basis?
>>130673154>no argument other than KILL YOURSELF'
The Clash had some great songs, but they brought way too many activists into the punk scene. People who want to suck out all the fun and just lecture you about white privilege instead.
>>130673164Pedants argue over the minutiae genre categories because they're too stupid to simplify. Call it whatever satisfies the scolding woman that controls your mind
>>130673476if I went to a punk show and played frank zappa's hot rats, everyone would look at me like a nut. Go to a thrash show and play lost in the supermarket and see how the audience would react
>>130670605this is a punk album

>>130673522wow, clash fans like a clash song. That sure showed me
>>130673530The point is that it sounds like a punk song at a punk show, pedant.
>>130673565it doesnt sound like a punk song, though
>>130673589lol alright man
>>130673589It doesn't sound like a punk song because they wrote an actual song instead of playing 4 power chords really fast.
