...i got this big youth c-d, its awsome..definatly check big youth out, hes great

Oh fo' sho'. Don't tell mx though, he might get mad and send me angry e-mails. Anyway, check it out: hxxp://s60.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2AG6B80J50X7C2VR5QOP33PEIE

It's not totally the original Specials though, I don't think. I think it's from '96 or something, with a lot of new members. Still sweet.

You are god.

edit: Just listened to it. Meh, it was okay. The original is one of my favorite songs ever, though, so everything else kinda looks worse in comparison.

not bad...but not great, still doesnt compare to the original...the clash do an ok cover of the song aswell

I think I like the Clash version more than this one.

^ yeah so do i

my band is covering 54-46 was my number by toots for our next show, we dont have a singer, so our sax player is doing the vocals, but with a sax line..if that makes sense..its gonna be sweet

I'm really diggin' the organ in the Specials version. I have this thing for organs. But of course, the original version is untouchable. Class-sick!

The Clash's version is rockin' too, indeed. Those crazy brits with their dirty distorted guitars. I likes. The little guitar solo is wonderful too.

I think the Clash did justice to Police and Theives, too. Some of the dub and reggae stuff on Sandinasta is quality stuff also.

bedouin soundclash do a really good money worries cover (the original artist has slipped my mind at the moment) there a pretty good band from kingston (2 hours away from where i live)...you guys have any reggae bands close to you?

Not really. They are a few ska bands from my area, though.

I've been on a reggae themed downloading spree lately. This is what I've got so far:

Dennis Brown - The Crowned Prince of Reggae: Best of Dennis Brown
Bad Brains - Live
Big Youth - Dreadlocks Dread
Lee "Scratch" Perry and the Upsetters - Super Ape

The Big Youth one and Dennis Brown are my favorites so far. Dennis Brown has written some really fantastic songs.

[QUOTE=CombatRock]Do you like the Clash version?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, totally. I commented on it a few posts back. ;) It's sweet.

I love the Clash's cover of Police and Thieves

I think he's fantastic. It's very much pop reggae, but it's still great.

off topic but i can't stop listening to prince far i and the arabs..they make some great stuff, check them out

That Prince Jazzbo album is great. I've been listening to him and Big Youth all day. I've been trying to find some stuff by U-Roy, I-Roy, Dennis Alcapone, Prince Far I, and Dillinger, but so far soulseek hasn't been very helpful.

Edit: I'm getting a Prince Far I album and a Dennis Alcapone album right now.

ive actually never heard dennis alcapone, which album did you get?
and which prince far i did you get?

I got Dennis Alcapone - Forever Version, and Prince Far I - Black Man Land.

I was reading about Big Youth somewhere, and it said that there were three famous toasters at the same time as him: U-Roy, I-Roy, and Dennis Alcapone. So I'm gonna try to get stuff by all three of those guys, because Big Youth rocks. I have one down, two to go.

We need to write short little paragraphs for all the artists that aren't on the list in the first few posts. There's quite a few good ones not on there.

Prince Far I is great. His voice is really...interesting.


Edit:

[B]Big Youth[/B]
Originally born Manley Augustus Buchanan, Big Youth was one of Jamaica’s most popular DJ’s (or toasters). After being a mechanic, Big Youth started DJing for Lord Tipperton's sound system. His debut single was a flop, and so were many of his next singles. He finally got a hit when he hooked up with Gussie Clarke and recorded “The Killer”. "The Killer" was followed by a string of other successful hits, and his debut album [i]Screaming Target[/i]. Still alive, Big Youth is a major reggae icon in Jamaica.

[B]Dennis Brown[/B]
Dennis Brown was born in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1957. He grew up on Orange Street, the center of the island’s music scene, and he was surrounded by famous and soon-to-be famous artists throughout his childhood. Recording his first hit at only 11 years of age, Dennis Brown has become a beloved and prolific artist throughout the entire island. He died of cocaine use on July 1, 1999.

[B]Dennis Alcapone[/B]
Born in Clarendon, Jamaica, on August 6, 1947, Dennis Alcapone set up his own sound system in Kingston, the El Paso Hi-Fi, in 1969 and instantly became successful. In the early 1970’s, Dennis started releasing his own singles. His cheerful whoops and hollers pushed him to the top of the charts, dethroning the great U-Roy. Although still recording music, his glory days are long past, but he remains one of the greats of early Jamaican toasters.
