Death Or Glory by The Clash

"Again, it was my Dad who turned me onto The Clash. I fell in love with Combat Rock first and then I ate my way through that band. It was like a goldmine or a candy store. So many of their songs have changed my mind about music lot, but I picked “Death Or Glory” because it was one of their better sounding songs that seems a bit overlooked. I was impressed by the sound of it, there’s acoustic guitars in there and the fidelity sounds good, that was really smooth and appealing. With the acoustic guitars and electric guitars, it was almost pre-dating some of that Americana stuff. It’s so powerful and it’s not super punk. “Death Or Glory” is like a call-to-arms, it sounds triumphant and I love that. The lyrics are great as well – ‘Now every cheap hood strikes a bargain with the world’ it’s great stuff man, Strummer was insane in that way."
