Song title: Rock the Casbah
Artist: The Clash
Year: 1982
Why I like this song:
I listened to a lot of 2nd wave punk music in my teens so it was inevitable that i would branch out and go after the music of the first wave. And I found it much to my liking, being an outlet for anger and a rallying cry for the rebel in me.
As for this song, it is the Clash at their funkiest - certainly a far cry from the punk which they made themselves known for but hey, it's certainly a party-starter. And the rage is still there. So an angry song can get a party stated? Who would've thunk it?
