"Train in Vain," The Clash, London Calling (1979)

 

The London Calling cover draws connections between The Who and The Clash, 1960s and 1970s, '60s Mods and '70s Punk Rock, pop art and uptempo (but not metal) guitar rock. It's The Clash's big statement, staking their claim to rock history. "Train in Vain" just wants to be the best bad break-up song ever.
