Ah, good old 2 Tone! Great to see them get a mention around here - they were responsible for funding some truly brilliant music. The Specials' eponymous debut and Madness' Absolutely (which I might just listen to again now - cheers for the reminder!) are a couple of my favourite albums. The Selecter were terrific too - I've got a best of lying around the house somewhere. As for the Beat, I've heard the name but never more than that. I'll have to change that soon.

Dunno about anyone else, but I was massively disappointed with the Trojan 2 Tone box-set - just a bunch of live songs from the same 4 or 5 bands over the usual 50 tracks. Bit of a let-down then.
