Who's your favourite 2 tone band?

Well for me it will always be about the Specials. I loved them then and I still do today. Who's your favourite 2 tone era band?

But I think The (English) Beat is the most under-rated band from that era.; ▶ Reply to This

It's the Selecter all the way baby! There stuff just always gets me, and I've had the pleasure to see them here a few years back ...I think that was the best show I've ever been to! Selecter's set was just PERFECTION!!

Oh, and don't forget the Bodysnatchers... totally awesome.; ▶ Reply to This

I got to see his sweaty gusset on-stage when he still had the weight and it's a memory I'm sure I'll be tellin the grandkids at bed-time.; ▶ Reply to This
