saw em play live twice in the 80's the were the best

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.

The Specials.
Love 'em.

Concrete Jungle, A Message To You Rudy, Stupid Marriage, Too Much Too Young.

*drools*

Yeah, they're such a brilliant band!

Favs would be Concrete Jungle, Do the Dog, Stupid Marraige and International Jet Set

They're great. S/T is brilliant.

Heh forgot about these guys till a little whileback when they came up in a music tech exam in college, been downloading like crazy since. :)

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.

We had to analyze ghost town, same thing, first time i heard it i didn't realise the little intricately placed things that made it fantastic.

The Specials are my favourite band ever!!

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.
