‘Tales’ is unfairly reviled (it’s far superior to the lacklustre ‘Tormato’, for instance), but I feel that ‘London Calling’ is rather overrated; I wonder if people judge the whole album on one great single.

But I think The Clash are an overrated band altogether. The fact that some over-influential journalists (most specifically the obnoxious Tony Parsons) hung out with them a lot has meant they’ve been mythologised in retrospect. Reading the scribblers you’d think they were to their decade what the Rolling Stones or The Who were to the previous decade; the reality was that they were never in the same league.

None of these comments are about gaming, though :)

It’s different and hard to compare.
