02. Billy Joel - Piano Man

08. Tori Amos - Muhummed My Friend
09. Coldplay - Trouble (Was going to put Clocks but I couldn't find it on my computer)

Look's solid. Will give this a go too.

As promised for Demonoid. A bit of Ska, Reggae and Dub.

1. The Japonicas- Toy Town Blues
Some of the best Trad. Ska I have heard in a while. An awesome toe tapper.
2. Ras Ibuna - Diverse Doctrine.
A fantastic Roots Reggae classic. I still need the album.
3. Black Uhuru - Chill Out
Backed by the finest Reggae Rhythm duo (Sly & Robbie), BU had the dulcet tones of Michael Rose adding a sweet soul sound.
4. Dillinger - Dub Them Rasta
'Ready Nattie Dread' is another overlooked Reggae album that needs new fans.
5. The Specials - Do Nothing.
Not only a damn fine Ska band. They are a damn fine ban full stop. One of Englands finest bands. Their highly charged lyrics are just as relevant nearly 30 years on.
6. Linton Kwesi Johnson - Inglan Is A Bitch.
A poet and a musician. Lyrically superb. Essential Dub.
7. The Toasters - 2-Tone Army
I think they hold the record for longest surviving Ska band. They kick started the 3rd wave way back in '81 and are still whacking out cracking tunes.
8. Dreadzone - Ali Baba
Mixing soundsystem electronica and Reggae. Dreadzone are still a festival favourite and I'm off to see them in a couple of weeks.
9. Ska Cubano- Soy Campesino
Fusing traditional Cuban music and Ska provides infectious beats.
10. The Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra - Natty Parade
Excellent modern take on Ska. Underated and far too obscure for their own good.

Thanks for that

. I've got the Specials track, but the rest are definitely new to me. I'll give it a listen soon.

Enjoy!

1. I liked the Bass and Piano work at the end.
2. Not a fan of Billy Joel at all-sorry.
3. But of course. Great album. I need to pick up Moon Pix sometime.
4. Being British, I have this about a million times but you still gotta love that riff

5. Apart from the first album I just can't get into Muse all that much and liking similar sort of music makes that a conundrum.
6. Loved the rhythm on this but I was hoping for a little more emotion

7. Love me some Porcupine Tree. Not my favourite track from 'Deadwing' but still great.
8. I remember loving 'Cornflake Girl' when it first came out but never followed on. This needs rectifying.
9. Gulp. Only like the track -Spies by them.
10. The Cat Empire are always great fun and put me in a great mood.

Thanks for posting.

Captain Cavemans comp next and then onto Comus's.

But did you hear the piano section?! Haha that's pretty much only why I put that song on there.

Yeah he can certainly play a bit. Have you heard the debut. I prefer it's short sharp punchiness. Suits their songs better IMO.
