Wow, I'm blown away that A Message to You Rudy hasn't been inducted in the Song Project. Making a note for next round. Posted by DarinRG on Saturday, 09/5/2015 @ 17:22pm |
RIP John Bradbury. Posted by DarinRG on Tuesday, 12/29/2015 @ 23:02pm |
We need a band that defines ska in the Hall Of Fame. The Specials should be it. Posted by Michael on Sunday, 11/4/2018 @ 14:11pm |
Since their new album Encore came out a while ago, this might raise more interest in them. The real question is though, do they care about ska? Posted by Michael on Sunday, 03/31/2019 @ 16:13pm |
Gotta be kidding - these guys shifted things in a BIG way - through them, I became aware of The Clash - inter-two-tone, just what was needed as the Thatcher rule commenced! Induct while they are still able to Rock the Rat Race! Posted by Teo Melissaratos on Sunday, 08/14/2022 @ 18:06pm |
