HMXHenry's response to the copies of London Calling sent:

Dear TheClashTheClashTheClash and Obsoleteshock,

Thank you for the generous holiday gifts. I meant to pop in to comment sooner as we received your packages a while ago but, as I'm sure you can imagine, things were pretty hectic leading up to the holiday.

One copy of London Calling was donated to the HMX library where anyone can check it out at their leisure. The second copy of London Calling currently resides in the Community Department, and I plan on giving it an extended listen in the near future. It's been years since I've listened to it in its entirety.

Thanks again for passing along the cds. We definitely appreciate your extreme enthusiasm. I'm not saying that everyone should start sending us their favorite cds (I'm not saying that they shouldn't either) but it's a level of fan dedication that's rarely seen. We will give these albums a good home. Rock on!

HMXHenry gives us and many other bands hope with this statement:

HMXHenry said:
Maybe not for Pink Floyd, but there are plenty of bands that have received a shocking amount of support in USL that was kind of unexpected. I would not have guessed that the turn out for Muse, Coheed and Cambria, My Chemical Romance, The Clash, The Killers, Opeth, and hair metal would have been so vocal. We've seen that there's been a fairly large turn out for these bands and that's been communicated to other departments. So while certain bands may be classified as "no brainers" that we'd like to see in the game, USL helps us see support for bands that we may not have considered as strongly before.

Thank you to all who visit this thread as you are helping us get noticed and helping our cause. We can make this happen!

[stevo796]

agreed. I fully agree here. This would be epic.

[Shillelagh Law]

Yes.
......

[KappaTI]

This is a rhetorical question, right?

[leftover_crack]

i want the clash self titled alot more

[TheClashTheClashTheClash]

i want the clash self titled alot more

i would also like the 1st album, white riot, white man and londons burning would be awesome to play as well as the others, but out of my Clash albums, my favorite is London Calling, then The Clash then Give em enough rope

[clashcityrocker10]

i would be so happy if hmx released this album as dlc
i think really everyone would be happy with at least one of the songs
i'd personally love every single one of them

[vanman68]

Big yes from me. Not a single track I dislike from that album. Are they still called albums? (showing my age)

[TheClashTheClashTheClash]

i would be so happy if hmx released this album as dlc
i think really everyone would be happy with at least one of the songs
i'd personally love every single one of them

yea, ive had it in my car for the past 4 months and thats all i listen to, i just wanna be able to turn my tv all the way up and play London Calling and sing along

i cant believe some one said no on the pole, they have something wrong with them

[instantdeath999]

As much as I would like it, the fact that "Train in Vain (Stand by Me)" is DLC is a bit disheartening.

They could release it and price it as a single album in honor of Joe Strummer
