28 Years Old...
No, not me, but the first album by my favorite band!
The Clash put out their first record in the UK on April 8, 1977. The record became the best selling import album in the US shortly thereafter. A record that I do believe still stands. They would release their second album "Give 'Em Enough Rope" a couple years later, this was actually the first Album released stateside. The second US album was actually the Self-Titled Debut, it just took a few years for them to release it in the States.
The Clash have been called "The Only Band That Matters" by critics. They influenced countless other bands, including U2. AND...their December 1979 release "London Calling" was considered by Rolling Stone to be the best album of the 80's.
8 Years ago I was at a Macaroni Grill with some friends and this large bad man came to serenade us. "Can I sing you a song?" He inquired.
"Yes, today is the 20th anniversary of the clash releasing their first album, can you sing Complete Control, Clash City Rockers or White Man In The Hammersmith Palais?"
He was very confused and offered to sing me some Disney crap.
