It's all a load of Cannonballs in here! This is the virtual Arsenal pub where you can chat about anything except football. Be warned though, like any pub, the content may not always be suitable for everyone.
Rite lads as im here i might as well throw some songs at you, This one has to be my all time favorite Specials song!! Whats your favorite Two-Tone songs
Yep great song Postie, They were very underestimated in that era in my opinion mainly cos they were all girl Ska group but were actually very fine muscicians and were closer music wise to the Original Ska beat.

My favourite's change quite often but..............
Madness - The Prince.
Specials - Guns of Naverone
The Beat - Mirror in the bathroom
Selector - on my Radio
how did you get on last night mate, oh by the way great selection
Was very enjoyable thanks, although Neville Staples wasn't in attendance , had a quick chat with the lovely Pauline Black during the warm up bands routine and got her to autograph the new cd album (made in britain) she was happy to do autographs and also have pictures taken before her set and also afterwards - not many "stars" are that down to earth.
I have now seen all my favourite SKA bands live at least once after finally getting to see the Selector complete the list and getting to watch the Specials twice last year during their 30th anniversary get together.

Brilliant stuff, Yeah Pauline is very down to earth met her at a gig in Dublin a few years back! As for Neville Staples isnt The Specials touring OZ at the moment anyhow its great to see the Two-Tone bands still performing

I love all the original Ska stuff that inspired 2 Tone
The Skinhead Reggae era is my favorite to be honest but as i wasnt around then had too hear most of it second hand through the Two-Tone bands, Liquidator is an all time classic and yes it pisses me off that The Shed adopted it as there own,And now there playing One Step Beyond after games aswell
Tricky questions - alot of good songs to choose from.I will say
Madness - the prince
The Specials - rat race
The Selecter - 3 minute hero
The Beat - best friend
Although it will of changed again by next week probably
