Pick Of The Week: The Clash's London Calling


Yes, you are reading this as the pick of the week. In fact, I am not sure I even need to justify the selection as it is an album you probably own or have gone through many copies of throughout your lifetime. Nine times out of 10, there is a station playing "Train in Vain" while I am typing and you are reading this. Why, then, is this the pick of the week? This well-respected, highly influential album by a band breaking from their punk roots to become one of the biggest bands in the world? Simple, it is finally making its way to the Rock Band library two years after introducing itself with "Train in Vain." The pick of the week is The Clash's London Calling

Finish The Album...Please!!!

Anyone who has partied or hung out with me knows that the love for Rock Band goes deep. It's become one quintessential elements of life that make it worth living like sex, ice cream and and watching Cool As Ice. And anyone that knows me knows that this Tuesday, Pearl Jam is the band of the day, hell, the week. In addition to the release of the remastered, remixed and re-liner notated edition of their 1991 debut, Ten, the same album will appear on Rock Band that day. This is a sweet addition to a game that has brought us albums from Judas Priest, The Cars, Pixies, Megadeth, Rush, and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Now, at any time of the day, people can freely cry out "Jeremy spoken class is dead" (it's close enough to original and probably what the one drunk person at your party will sing when it's playing) and many other misquoted Pearl Jam lyrics. Seeing as how something as essential as Ten is being released, I started wondering about other albums on the game that have two or more songs yet, for whatever reasons, do not have full albums. Here's a list of five albums that should be released in their enitrety at some point.
