Bizarrely I've never heard that much Ska, bits and bobs here and there but never gotten around to listening to much more.
For The Specials I've always had a soft spot for Ghost Town, and Much too much. Gangsters is a top track as well.
Madness, my favourite changes by the day. You can be sure that Embarrassment, My girl, Our house, Wings of a dove and Michael Caine all rank high. As does something like Jennie (a portrait of) which was a b-side.
I'll get those songs you like now to see what I think of them. |

Fuckin yeh I listen to Gangsters every morning in the bathroom when I'm getting ready.
Night Boat To Cairo, also a fave.
There's a band called Big Hand, I love them, they're crazy.
There's just sooo much more out there that I got to listen to.
Ooh Lip Up Fatty!! =D |
