A Town called Malice was a great song.  Along with
Don't Dream its over and Sunday Bloody Sunday defined the best vision of a generation. Which of course was promptly ignored.

hello Londoners


I don't think this vote is fair?  Weller is still alive.  I've seen him more than once hanging out on the corners near here, either by the Pub or next to the bank near Maida Vale Tube Station with his daft hairdo which must take an hour or two before he goes out all trendily brushed across his cheeks.  Silly self-conscious self-obsessed man with badly dyed hair holding court and attempting to still seem important and 'cool'.

Strummer on the other hand is dead and buried nearby on another corner here, there's a plaque to his memory.



You pick.  I enjoyed both men's music on occasion but I have a distinct choice about which of their styles I most admired.
