15 Landmark Albums That Changed The Face Of Music Forever
11. The Clash - London Calling
By 1979, punk had already developed a distinct uniformed sound and poise that was on the verge of becoming repetitious and boring. Then the Clash released their third album London Calling, and everything changed. Here they wore all of their influences on their sleeve - from reggae to rockabilly - and showed that punk didnt just have to be variations of a three chord progression or self-referential. Each song distinctly incorporates the sound that the Clash had become known for while utilising elements of various musical genres to create a flawless album. If this is a punk rock fans first exposure to different music of the world, The Clash is a pretty cool tour guide. Album Highlights: Rudie Cant Fail, Spanish Bombs, Train in Vain
