More Reazons 2 ♥ da 80s
I love how Ska & Reagge had such a huge influence on British punks.
These guys were probably just sitting around, smoking hash, listening to their Dub 45's, when they thought, "Fuck it! Fuck all this hard-ass, two-chord, screaming-on-a-floor-covered-in-vomit punk shit. We need to add horns, keyboards, progression, and actually make music that sounds good!"
The resulting product was brilliant, or, at least, it was for a little while.

Burn It Down
Tell Me When My Light Turns Green
Seven Days Too Long
*The Clash*
From the 1982 album "Combat Rock"

Yeah, its neat to see the reverse cultural influence Jamaica had on its former colonial master.
I interviewed Ari-Up, of The Slits, last year. She grew up in London in the late 70's, and toured with the Clash at 14 yrs old and shit. Sounded nutso. All her projects have been decidedly Jamaica influenced.
