"Car Jamming" the best song on Combat Rock after "Straight to Hell."

"selling is what selling sells but only saints of the seven avenues can sell the seven hells" is one of my favourite lyrics

it's not a GOOD cover, but the guitar is so addictive I can't help but love it

My vote. I vacillate b/w thinking it's one of their best songs and disappointment at its lack of vim. Maybe Jones and Strummer sharing vocals is the problem?

I didn't realise that song had a Phil Ochs quote.

Yeah they don't *quite* match up together, which is a shame because the melody is great. I get a good Killers vibe off the guitar riff :)

Should note for legal purposes that even though that is Leif Fielding in the centre there, the girl is probably not Julie.

"Capital Radio" got 50 pts, "Capital Radio Two" got 74 pts. I combined them because afaik they re-recorded it and released it because people were spending a lot of money to get the oop original version.
