There are way too many of these to post comments in every one. I pick "The Clash".

"Rope"

They were still "punk" but had better production and songwriting than on the debut. By the time London Calling came out they had turned into a MOR rock band.

London Calling, definetely. And not for any artistic reasons, but because it's the first "punk" album I ever listened to. It saved me from the terrible musical choices I was given up until then (Village People, Toto, etc). I can still listen to this album, and it holds up pretty well.

All the album questions are tough.....but Sandinista is a very long three album feast. Delicious...lots of surprises. truly original.

Sandinista has some of my favorite Clash songs - but for me, the unlistenable stuff outweighs the great stuff.

I chose London calling only because the title song is astounding, and I have never gotten sick of Train in Vain. I know it's not their favorite song - but it's a perfect piece of pop/punk.
