Can I join?

I have a 6 year old DS3 who is obsessed with James Bond and I recently introduced him to that track - he loves it!

Mirror in the Bathroom is great but Stand Down Margaret was their finest hour, I feel.

The Specials by the Specials was the best 2Tone album IMHO - Concrete Jungle, You're Wondering Now etc etc - all just great.
Still makes me bop around the place whenever I hear it.

'One Step Beyond' was the first album I bought, BGD.

Hassled: We always have to play that album on long car trips.

Oh I loved Mirror in the Bathroom.

And Ghost Town.

And I like The Selector a lot too - On My Radio, anyone?

I also (and this is very uncool) had a lot of time for UB40's first album .

I thought Ghost Town was about all those places that had riots? Did they have riots in Leatherhead (where is Leatherhead)?

Slarty - you beat me to it!

I think The Selector also did a very harrowing song about rape, called The Boiler - although that was probably a bit later?

Ghost Town was about Coventry, where the band came from. I'd sort of prefer it to have been about Leatherhead, though

I know hassled. but at the time it came out everyone was saying that leatherhead had turned into a ghost town, due to the new shopping centre.
