Well, not a Clash song, but I always dug Cowboy Mouth's "Joe Strummer."

see a few "Straight to Hell" mentions up in here ..

this is an awesome live performance of it, from SNL  back 'round Halloween '82 -  Opie does the introduction 

remember so vividly seeing this when it aired ... Joe doing the Russian Roulette stance (reminiscent of "Deer Hunter", which i had just seen for the first time)) blew me away.

some bonus Joe and Mick footage, to boot

Bad trip to Jamaica topical?

Kinda like picking your favorite Beatles song, but... Complete Control probably takes #1 on my list, with Rudie Can't Fail as another contender.

I'd also like to mention The Card Cheat.   It's not my favorite, but it ends an incredible run.  Side 1 of London Calling is fantastic, side 2 has a few less FM ready hits, but it expands and diversifies their sound, and side 3 finishes the run.  By the time you get to The Card Cheat you're just awed.

Side 4 blows, with the obvious exception of Train In Vain.

Btw, just found this out tonight, and thought I'd share:  London Calling's cover was a homage to Elvis

Lover's Rock

Four Horsemen

I'm Not Down

Revolution Rock

I love every one of these songs. I couldn't disagree more with you.

This seems like as good a place as any to pimp my Spotify playlist: 

This is Faux Clash -  44 tracks of Clash soundalikes, covers and oddities.

Additional suggestions welcome
