The Clash......... I still have the 45 of The Clash's cover of the classic 'I Fought The Law'. That's right a 45, a 7" vinyl disc with a hole in the middle and grooves on it, that great music used to be pressed on. You put a needle to it and glorious sound would come out of it... not that kind of needle (you've got a one track mind Johnny). Sonny Curtis wrote it, Bobby Fuller Four released it in 1965 (knocked me out with it then) and The Clash reworked it in 1979 and floored me with it. The same year I saw them at Santa Monica Civic center with Bo Diddley. It doesn't get much better than that...
