I had never even heard of him until hearing Saudade's "Lions" which has Randy Blythe on the track with Lee also listed on the track. Posted by Andrew Corrao-Farelli on Thursday, 02/3/2022 @ 23:08pm |
I'm listening to a lot of Upsetters album lately and I can confirm that Lee Perry should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This dude literally invented his own genre! Posted by Dave Sikes on Tuesday, 09/6/2022 @ 11:19am |
"Disco Devil" was heavily sampled/covered in The Prodigy's techno hit, "Out of Space" - evidence of influence outside his own genre. Posted by Bookhouse on Thursday, 03/23/2023 @ 12:55pm |
