what are your favorite songs by the clash?

Question

i've always been a little disappointed that these guys don't get more love around here...a very musically creative band with a lot of talent, especially in the guitar and songwriting department from joe strummer, and one of the most politically and socially aware bands in music history...perhaps they aren't as respected as they should because they're one of those bands that is almost entirely defined by their hit songs

so, what are everyone's favorite clash songs? here's my list:

1. clash city rockers
2. rock the casbah
3. know your rights
4. i fought the law
5. train in vain
6. bankrobber
7. this is radio clash
8. london calling
9. (white man) in hammersmith palais
10. complete control
