London Calling

London Calling, a double album released by The Clash in December, 1979, marked the band's critical and commercial breakthrough. Besides straightforward punk rock, it featured a much wider array of styles than the Clash's earlier albums, including American-style rockabilly, Phil Spector-style pop, and reggae works that resonated with the Ska movement in Britain (see 1979 in music). The album is considered a landmark by many, and tracks such as "Train in Vain", "Clampdown", and "London Calling" show up with regularity on rock stations to this day.
