"SKA they call it. In 1979 Jerry Dammers' 2Tone label seen by many as the defining moment in the UK ska scene began and The Specials headed it.

Baby Pink Patent Creepers
1 recommendation
"Does anyone out there remember Creepers? I bought my first pair- merlot suede/black leather, if I recall- on Kings Road in London in the 80's. When I went back to California that fall, those shoes- and those shoes alone- made me cool. I never wore the platform versions. But the ones I did wear, I wore to death- as in the toe flaps were flapping before I would discard them. So, so ferocious ..."

Venus On Earth ~ Dengue Fever
1 recommendation
"Many people like to keep their favorite bands to themselves, only sharing their prized fan-dom with their closest friends, I suppose we all want to have access to the people and things we love most, and feel that standing in the back of a line to see what one discovered by chance rather than through mass media is a humiliating thought. One such band which I keep close to my chest is Dengue Fever. ..."
Bob Marley & Friends ~ Bob Marley
1 recommendation
"Variation is good, especially when it comes from musicians who's songs are as additive as they are crucial, Bob Marley is one of the few in this category. Lucky for me he and his friends have recorded a host of songs as well as different versions of those same song, which means I'm still discovering new ways of enjoying the Marley sound. "Bob Marley & Friends" is a 29 track collection featuring..."

The English Beat - Special Beat Service

Is it reggae? Is it pop? It's all of those and more! One of my favorite all time CD's. So get up off your arse and push play already!!"
