The Clash: I Fought the Law (1979)

Several artists have taken a shot at recording “I Fought the Law.” Bobby Fuller’s original is the best remembered. The Clash modernized the 1959 hit two decades later giving it a grittier punk edge. Waylon Jennings, Social Distortion, Green Day, Bryan Adams, John Mellencamp, and Bruce Springsteen are among the myriad of artists to cover Fuller’s hit.
