Default The Specials

where the Specials fans at?
My favorites gotta be Concrete Jungle, Gangsters, Too Much too young, ghost town, and more. I liked the s/t more than the More Specials album, although both were quite different and good. Opinions?

Ghost town was one of the first records I ever got when I was 4 or 5 years old

Ghost town is one of the coolest songs ever. I like the specials alot. Very very good band. They do a mean cover of Bob Dylans "maggies Farm" too.

The Specials are an awesome band. I love stuff off their self-titled cd like "A Message to You Rudy", "Concrete Jungle", and "Stupid Marriage."

The Specials are so cool... Got to know their song "A Message To You, Rudy" through a soundtrack and loved it.

in my opinion by far the best two tone band. the self titled is probably my favourite.

Good evening i unzipped my skin
thankfully unscrewed my head
exactly as i always do when i prepare myself for bed
and while i slept this co-co came as naked as could be
he put on the skin and screwed on the head
that once belonged to me

My second favourite two tone band behind the Selecter. They had a great sound and some good tunes although I do like the cover songs better than their original songs.
