One of my all-time favorite songs by The Clash. And I do have quite a few versions so, hopefully, you like it as well …

This is Rockabilly Clash …
Oh the disharmony! Much like Harlan County there are no neutrals here. Only one cover tune will live to play another day and it is your solemn responsibility to decide which one prevails. So tell me … Which Side Are You On?!!?
Also, keep in mind that if you should spontaneously self-actualize while playing a cover then you could – and probably should – nominate it for Top 10 (i.e. “Impeccable”) consideration.

These are both excellent. I gotta think (and listen) a bit more before voting.
Wow… really close. Each version is pretty darn good. I’m givin’ it to the Bandits, but just by a smidge. A tad. An iota.
Ah, good ol’ Brixton, my old stompin’ grounds! Maybe my vote should count as two.
Both good versions. I like the echo-y guitar in Honeydrippers’ version, but they’re edged out by The Bandits.
I’m with Arnie here, lovin’ em both, but giving the edge to the Bandits on the strength of that nice little wah wah solo
Yeah these versions are better than I remember. Both great takes. But I’m going with The Bandits.
