You did not just post a link to another forum for discussion. A lame forum and lame discussion.
That's trolling, and if Spack doesn't ban you I'll be stunned.
That's a Clark with a capital C.

I love, London Calling. But. It's not my all time favorite. I've a tough time ranking things as such. It still gets played several times a year. It is a great album. Why quibble? I'm going go with "Lost in the Supermarket" as my favorite track off the LP.
I realize (or realiSe, for you Limey) that London Calling is not everyone's taste. But for me, it's not only brilliant, but marks a kind of special time in my life. I was in Jr. High the first time I heard it, and my friends were listening to whatever was popular at the time, Top 40 stuff, the occassional Led Zeppelin or Lynyrd Skynyrd, which I love, but it just didn't grab me at the time. I wanted something different. This was also the beginning of the New Wave craze, and the music didn't sound, I don't know, angry enough for me. When I heard The Clash, it was like a switch going off in my head. The irony is that I was not a punk in real life, not really rebellious, fairly quiet and obedient. Perhaps that's why I wanted the opposite in my music. At any rate, I listen to London Calling probably once a week, and after 25+ years and changing musical tastes, I'm still amazed at how good it is. For the record, my favorite tune off the album is "Death or Glory" (though I think The Clash's greatest song is "Straight to Hell" off of Combat Rock).
I think "Death or Glory" is my favorite also, though "Four Horsemen" is a close second. But in the last couple of years with all the bullshit Homeland Security laws being passed, "Guns of Brixton" seems relevant again. "When they kick at your front door ..."

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Marquis has accepted a three-year, $28 million offer from the Cubs. Marquis is coming off back-to-back losing seasons with the Cardinals, and was 14-16 with a 6.02 ERA in 2006. His best season was 2004, when he was 15-7 with a 3.71 ERA.

The buzz around baseball is that MLB officials -- particularly commissioner Bud Selig -- weren't happy with the Astros for giving $100 million over six years to free agent Carlos Lee. So owner Drayton McLane might be trying to placate MLB's hard-liners by attempting to hold down the rest of his payroll.

'Both teams know that if Andy gets hurt, he won?t take the option"
Well, how about we make it a fucking team option then. The most likely scenario is that Andy's elbow doesn't fall off completely, but continues to deteriorate... So just a little worse than last year would be like a 4.5 ERA and a 1.5 WHIP this season. Then for next season Andy's wife would sure as hell force him to take the 14 million dollar option if he didn't want it in the first place. You got 14 million in quite possibly a below league average pitcher. Screw that. Astros aren't in a position to give 2 year 30 million dollar deals to players who were pondering their future 3 days ago. Give Roger 22 million and let's see if he can pitch the whole season. I think we learned that making the playoffs should be the first priority.

What I find amazing is that while the contract is for 16mil, the Yankees are actually going to pay 22.4 mil with the luxury tax. At that price, they can have him.
