Quoted from KozMckPinball:

Every clash pin needs a Topper and the Head On.

Most intelligent Pinside post EVER...

Saw The Clash in Pittsburgh in '82. I began my 40+ year radio career in June of 1978 and as soon as "Give 'em Enough Rope" was released, I was playing "Safe European Home" in Heavy Rotation. People had no idea what to think back then about such music because, as someone stated above, all they wanted to hear was Journey, REO Speedwagon and Styx. Thankfully, the owner's daughter went to him and said something like, "Hey, you better listen to him. I think he knows what he's doing"...and the station went on to have the highest ratings it ever had with our eclectic mix of harder Top 40 hits, the top album tracks of the day and supremely off the wall stuff that NO ONE else was playing.

For those of you who are in to more "off the wall" music from the 1970's-1980's, I've put together a YouTube playlist of "The WTCS Top 200 Songs" from that era. Three songs from The Clash made the Top 200. Check it out if you so desire. Songs are listed in order of how big they were on the station's playlist from 1977-1987...
