[malcolmcog]

Just imagine you like reggae in1969, BBC didn't play it, only got on top of the pops once with Dave & Ansell Collins, then like magic it was all over the place in 1979 when Madness and The Specials started selling lots of records. I was astounded when I saw Madness on top of the pops !

[XxMemooRosexX]

i listened to this in music class now i'm addicted..Oh dear i'm so sad :')

[willybarton]

@megaannify what are you on about? it was a black kid and that the fat kid your reffering to must easily be in his 20's that offends me that you call the fat guy a kid I too am in my 20s and AM NOT A KID!!!! (did you not see the same ad as everybody in the nation saw?)

[sharnotshaz]
