The Greatest Clash Album Not Made By The Clash

"Ireland's Stiff Little Fingers were always unfairly burdened with the tag "the Irish Clash," but while Strummer, Jones & Co. started to dissolve in a shambles, beginning after the release of "London Calling" really, SLF continued to fly the punk flag proud and high. Although actually only their third best album, "Go For It" is essential in that it contains their greatest song "Roots Radicals Rockers & Reggae" which, for some reason, never seems to turn up on any compilations of the band. SLF is still together today, almost 25 years after its first album and, except for The Damned, what other members of the Class of '77 can make that claim? Your punk collection is incomplete without something by this band."
