The pounding arena rock of "Should I Stay or Should I Go" makes the Clash sound like an arena rock band, and much of the album boasts a muscular, heavy sound courtesy of producer Glyn Johns. But things aren't quite that simple. Combat Rock is the group’s best-selling album, being certified double platinum in the United States. It contained two of The Clash’s most popular songs, the singles Rock the Casbah and Should I Stay or Should I Go. Combat Rock was the last Clash album featuring the classic lineup.

Combat Rock is the fifth studio album by The Clash, released in 1982. It was the last album to feature the classic line-up before Mick Jones was sacked and Topper Headon was kicked out for his heroin addiction. The cover photo was shot by Pennie Smith on a deserted railway line outside Bangkok while the band was on their "Far East" tour in 1982.

The Clash- Combat Rock. This is a public service announcement! With Guitars!" Joe unleashes the album straight your way with clearly the very best track an album like this could have started out with. Know Your Rights holds in place a hoppy, steady bass-line as Joe executes in his formal vocals and Mick and Topper duke it out with a great midway solo in the bridge, and a nice sturdy beat going nice and tight on the hats as the song progresses pretty slowly. Now, everything in this track isn’t perfect

Combat Rock is the fifth studio album from The Clash, and the final album featuring Mick Jones and Topper Headon. The lyric sheet for this album contains many errors such as listing entire verses on several songs that are absent from the recordings on the album. This is due to the lyrics sheet being a leftover from the aborted Rat Patrol from Fort Bragg album. Know Your Rights (3:40). Should I Stay or Should I Go (3:09). Rock the Casbah (3:43). Red Angel Dragnet (3:45).

Reissued, Remastered. The final album by the Clash's original Strummer/Jones incarnation is also their most inconsistent. There were musical and ideological rifts developing within the band, and it shows: the experimentation is almost as wild as Sandanista!'s (and the biggest experiment is heading away from their punk shiftiness and into a commercial rock sound), but they seem to be enjoying it less. The band's stabs at funk and poetry aren't terribly successful, but it all came together for two massive hits: "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" has the biggest, stupidest, most.
