The London Calling album cover

The London Calling album cover – Wow, so fucking edgy, weren’t the Clash such punks.

Bollocks they were. Overrated posh boys playing the rebel, beloved of the luvvies.

Go and fuck away off you cunts.

Always pleases me to hear that JJ Burnel knocked their cunt clean in. Good lad.

FFS! This has apparently voted the top punk album cover of all time. What a load of shite!

Some cunt with more money than brains smashing up a perfectly good guitar. It’s not original, matey – Pete Townshend thought of it first.

Still, better to listen to him smashing it than playing it.

  1. just thinking about this shit band the other day , best punk cover? thats not a proper cover album thats a photo for cunts sake i hate the clash they are not even a punk band exactly more like boy poprock band with punk influences , i think flipper’s public flipper limited had the best punk cover album probably also the best punk band too, the sleepers 1st Ep seventh world was a good one too but another photo but at least it wasn’t a fucking elvis knockoff , negative trend ep also was pretty good too

  2. I’m not a huge Pistols fan, but Jamie Reid’s ‘God Save The Queen’ is a good punk sleeve. Peter Savilles’ cover for Joy Division’s ‘UInknown Pleasures’ is also better than Pennie Smith’s overhyped photo…

    Without Topper Headon ( a fine drummer) The Clash were ordinary… And their manager, Bernie Rhodes, was a prime cunt….

  3. Neil Oliver. Get this menacing, long-haired cunt off BBC2 asap. Delivers every line of his scripts like a threat and has all the charisma of Ian Huntley (gives the impression of having a greater capacity for evil than Huntley too).

  4. Get a load of this sentence that just rolled up on my news feed.

    “Madonna plays party game with Justin Bieber on ‘Ellen'”

    What a cluster of cunts that must have been.

  5. I think Labour MP for Rotherham Sarah Champion deserves a royal cunting for charging the tax payer £17 for a wreath last rememberence day.How long can you sink?Well I said Labour and Rotherham so I suppose I answered my own question.It is funny how Labour hark on about tax dodging and the effect it has on public services when they are leaning their pockets with taxpayers money.Hypocrital cunts the lot of them.Maybe she got given her candidacy from her predecessor Denis McShane another Labour cunt who admitted that as a guardian reader he would feel uneasy speaking up about the Asian Rotherham peado gangs preying on vulnerable girls and was also imprisoned for expenses fiddling.Notice how not one of the cunts who claims to make an “error” in their statements ever notices it until they have got caught?Anyway Sarah Champion is an expenses cheating cunt who Is the first one to directly insult millions of dead soldiers as well as the taxpower.Stupid champagne socialist grey streaked haired cunt!

  6. Best punk album cover has to go to Creaming Jesus for the cover art on Too fat to run, too stupid to hide.

    • There is no best album cover for a punk band they were all cunts, couldnt sing couldnt play and fizzled out by by 78 flash in the pan shite, post punk and new wave came after and did what them cunts could never do – perform play more than one chord, write sing and produce, fucking talentless punks tone deaf brainless cocks more like

  7. Have to disagree on this one. The real cunting should be to “best” lists if to anything.

    This is actually a pretty good cover, and a reference to, not a rip-off of the Elvis cover. Anyone familiar with rock ‘n roll was familiar with the Elvis cover and “got” the link.

    Like any band, the Clash had plenty of self-important, embarrassingly pretentious moments. “London Calling” is still a pretty great album, with only one or two clinkers. It’s all over the map with musical styles, and is not really “punk”- but so what? Just because a band goes beyond three badly-played chords doesn’t mean they’ve lost credibility as a band.

    “London Calling” is good enough that it’s stood the test of time, and my own teenage daughter has “discovered” it and has my old vinyl sleeve hanging on her wall.

  8. People slag off Johnny Rotten but check this out, talking about Jimmy Saville in the 70’s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rjy8oLVOvi4 Johnny knew what was happening and rebelled against it. Now think how much of the British public adored Jimmy Saville and hated and still hate Johnny Rotten. It amazes me that the BBC spent years promoting kiddy fiddlers while silencing “punks” because they’re “message” was “unsavoury”. Not like Rolf with his 2 little boys. This country is a cunting joke.

  9. Speaking of overrated shite, Johnny rotten is a fucking ginger knob with zero talent vastly overrated, whining pale spotty rat faced mossy toothed spastic
