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.

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.

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.
