Joe Strummer and The Mescaleros - Streetcore
We had the pleasure of growing up and older with Joe Strummer. As young kids, our parents hated most our music and choices except this man and his band. When this record came on at your friends shitty parties or 1992 Honda accord hot boxed out with dirty cheap weed before homeroom, you always felt on top of the world.
Luckily this was the record that Joe Strummer left behind before he passed. We were in high school when Joe Strummer died, and this was a great parting gift from Joe Strummer to the world, a great record to grow older with as Joe bowed out.
With the exception of only a few silly rock riffs, this record is soaked in beauty and has bursts of inspiration all over it. I know for a fact many people don't have it, and I feel as if you should.
