With the recent discussion about The Clash and their lack of reluctancy to release somewhat ska based material I have to know, what is everyone's favorite Clash song?

Alot have really hit me hard like straight to hell and white man in hammersmith palais but I think my all time favorite would have to be rudie can't fail.

Any day now, any day now, I shall be released.

The thing about spanish bombs that really gets me are the vocal arrangements. Joe and Mick came up with so many great harmonies in alot of the clash's songs and that one shows them off the best.
