Great Songs from My Favorite Year in Music: 1985, Part 4

Big Audio Dynamite - "E=MC2"



(Album Release: October 1985)
Mick Jones didn't waste a lot of time in letting Clash fans figure out what was going to happen next after the band broke up. His Big Audio Dynamite project picked up where the Clash's leanings toward dance music left off, embracing the new sound wholeheartedly. Synths and sampling became the central elements of B.A.D.'s sound, which somewhat divided old Clash fans. "E=MC2" harbored a sing-song quality that many of Jones' compositions past and present shared, but it was something distinctly from 1985.
