Song title: Train in Vain
Artist: The Clash
Year: 1979
Why I like this song:

Albums don't come more intimidating than this. One of the greatest albums ever made. An inspiration to countless bands. An album that rewrote the pop music rulebook. Proof that punk could shake off accusations of being a fad and could do something more.
Indeed, through listening to London Calling I can see it's DNA in it's successors (Green Day and the Manic Street Preachers). There's a lot of material to be sure to get through but it's the last (secret?) song that is a standout. True I already knew of it but still....
