The Clash's debut album is proto mix of anarchism and rage packed into bite sized listens filled with angst and despair. opening track Janie Jones is a punk classic. Remote Control is good. I'm So Bored With The USA is a cracker. White Riot is classic punk rock. Hate & War is good too. Whats My Name is good co written by PIL guitarist Keith Levine. Deny is good and also London's Burning rounds out the first side well with angst and joy delivered via thrashing guitar and snarling vocals. its that thrashing guitar and snarling vocals that make The Clash such an endearing listen. Career Opportunities is golden. Cheat is good. Protex Blue is alright and is written by Jones probably the weakest track on the album. Police and Theives is amazing and the Clash really join up and blur the lines between punk and reggae dancehall on this track. 48 hours is good and the final track Garageland is probably the best track on here. Joe Strummer's singing is second to none on the album and its highly recommended a worthwhile listen. I'd say this album is more pure punk than anything they ever created and is probably more enjoyable than London Calling.
Daft Punk's album Discovery is a journey through french house and disco. The Album rocks along well at the start with tracks like One More Time a real quality highlight and Aerodynamic, Digital Love and Harder better faster stronger. the next half seems to dwindle a little bit but has its moments notably being Something about us and Face to Face. its a real mix of disco and french house that make this last. 8/10
