London Calling (1979)

By The Clash

Punk guitars stretch out into reggae, ska, rockabilly and New Orleans R&B across a double album about unemployment, racial conflict, drug use and growing up broke. The Clash, an English band led by songwriters Joe Strummer and Mick Jones, cut it in London over about six weeks with producer Guy Stevens. Rolling Stone placed it at number 8 on its 500 Greatest Albums list.
