With 36 tracks spanning across 3 LPs, \u003cem\u003eSandinista!\u003c\/em\u003e is perhaps the most daunting listen in the group’s discography, but it’s also one of the most rewarding. Album-opener “The Magnificent Seven,” the famed cover of \u003cstrong\u003eThe Equals\u003c\/strong\u003e’ “Police on my Back,” and the political reggae anthem “Washington Bullets” are among the best Clash tracks of the ‘80s. Taking heavy influence from \u003cstrong\u003eLee “Scratch” Perry\u003c\/strong\u003e and disco producers of the late ‘70s, the album also features more experimentation with tape delay and synthesizers than on other albums in their career. Financially, this album was a disaster–the band famously gave up all royalties on the first 200,000 copies sold in the UK–but it’s far from the worst (that would be \u003cem\u003eCut The Crap\u003c\/em\u003e). It’s gone on to influence many popular artists including \u003cstrong\u003eThe Beastie Boys\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eVampire Weekend\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eM.I.A.\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the Chilean group \u003cstrong\u003eLos Prisioneros\u003c\/strong\u003e.
