Is this thread about two-tone, reggae or ska ?

It seems to be more about the first (which like lovers rock is English) because these can be very different things. How about rock steady, dancehall, ragga, dub or even mento ?

Jamaica, that melting pot of so many different cultures; a small island in the Caribean that is responsible for so much fantastic and innovative music. Check out what the sound engineers and original dj’s were doing long before we had hip-hop or rap. But then as in the case of blues (and humanity) you can trace these rhythms all the way back to Africa. Black music tends to accentuate the off-beat and, quite simply, I love it.

And yes, Jerry Dammers is a very cool guy too.

My apologies…. reading that back it sounds a bit abrupt.

What I meant was it is not My thread, but with time will gather infulences and links from all, I never introduced it as my project, nor did I mean it to just be about one genre, thats just how the first couple links came up.

I will be adding more (you so know that!)…. Im going to be looking for some gregory Isaacs…. etc, so Jamaica will be embraced, in more ways than one.

Then again, I may even add some Blondie (debbie harry)…. who “rapped” before she did?

Id love to know the answer to that.

Mega thread this 8)

Loved the whole ska thing!.. Ever since my nutjob older brother brought home a live tape of the stuff in the early 80s! I was only a wee young lad at the time but I still kept my TwoTone theatrics well up to speed :P

I truly fell in love with Madness.. who, to be fair, were a much more watered down affair compared to The Beat and The Specials etc. But class nonetheless!

Just a few here, to allow others to post some lol!

The “Absolutely” album was a bible…
