The Clash -- "English Civil War"
One of the first Clash songs that I really went crazy for. I still drive around sometimes listening to this in the car ... with the volume turned way up.
I happen to like the Sandy Pearlman production on this album, even though the heavy layering of the guitar tracks means that you can never quite get this song to sound right when you are trying to play it on your own guitar at home. A great adaptation of a traditional melody, and a reminder of what it's really like when Johnny comes marching home.
