The Clash - London calling


The clash london calling it my favorite album cover of all time because of the fact that the imagery from the cover has become iconic in the music industry and is recognised as a clash album by millions of people even if you take away the words. the imagery is very true to the bands persona and the way they acted and it is a statment about the generation it is appealing to. the behaviour of the clash on stage inspired some of the best bands in history and this album cover captures that attitude perfectly. it gives connotations of rebellion and teenage rebellion agains 'the man' the simplicity of the album makes it stand out because it is somthing that seems like its captured in the moment not prepared for and set up. this gives the band a kind of raw edge and an i dont care attitude. furthermore the contrasting colours of the title draws your eye towards them wheras they dont interject with the image atall.
