LOVE THEM They and the Clash pioneered the rock against racism movement although they also pioneered alot of other things with the clash like the ENTIRE BRITISH SKA MOVEMENT so just on principle i say F U C K all the bands that came after those two they're all posers lol jk.

Yeah, they're such a brilliant band!

Favs would be Concrete Jungle, Do the Dog, Stupid Marraige and International Jet Set

Heh forgot about these guys till a little whileback when they came up in a music tech exam in college, been downloading like crazy since.

I remember the first time I listened to S/T. I thought it was complete crap. Now I see it as almost flawless. Really a genius album. If you don't have it you've got problems.

We had to analyze ghost town, same thing, first time i heard it i didn't realise the little intricately placed things that made it fantastic.

News : Terry Hall has said that the original Specials will be reforming and touring in Autumn. Possible recording also.

If Terry is involved, then I am excited. I'd give my right leg to see that.
