The Clash - Sandinista !

That would've been Simemon wouldn't it? Joe would've said "made one laugh" until he was old enough to become cool

Actually he was too posh to say anything - the butler would've said it for him

The Ruts did a bit of Reggae didn't they?
In fact I bet they were one of the first and I don't think it sounded too bad.

This has got me thinking - I was chatting about this with someone yesterday. Is there any white band - apart from the Clash - who sometimes played reggae songs and didn't sound totally cringeworthy? I can't think of any.

Madness. I don't mean the question BTW!!

The Beat?

The Police?

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Jah Wobble!

 

[PaulB]

Jah Wobble!

Beat me to it.

Also, GT Moore and his Reggae Guitars! There's one for you purists!

Kept the first Clash LP dumped the rest.

Put the amp up to 11 and play the opening bit of D'yer Mak'er - nice!

SLF covered a few reggae songs, mostly live tho

 

[Nicensleazy]

Terry Hall done a great track with the Dub Pistols, I think it was called 'the problem is'

 

[mondobongo]

UB40 Reggae never.

SLF did a nice cover of the Special's Doesn't make it alright.

The Beat weren't a white band. They were a mixed race band.

 

[Dave5N]

Mind you, I wouldn't class them as a reggae band either.

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Ha! I forgot the Wobblemeister I've just put some PiL on.

metal box is superb - still got mine, in a metal box too. bit rusty now and the 12" records are a bastard to get out!

 

[Dave5N]

I'm going to put Rising Above Bedlam on as soon as the kids go to bed.

 

[Nicensleazy]

Now this is pure class
