By all means see X. But know that they are experimenting with a sorta stripped down rootsy sound. Billy isn't playing the silver Gretsch, astride and grinning. Rather, he' sitting, and plays sax on a couple songs. DJ plays vibes. It's really great, but you ain't gonna hear Johny hit and run Pauline

Although I'm tempted to go all provocateur on your ass and say "Sandanista!" just for the sheer wrongness of it, I will instead suggest that "London Calling" has the highest content rating ever. Every song is at least excellent, with only one ("The Card Cheat") not an essential part of modern life for me lo these…
