The Specials - Rat Race

[johnnyBtrain]

This track rings so true today,Fk the rat race.

[JohnnyTheWolfLupino]

My favourite ska track. One of those songs I never tire of hearing.

[YogritMUN]

Love the MASSIVE drumset that just isn't being utilized whatsoever.

[MrBILLYSKA]

Being born in Coventry I grew up loving the specials, but I never thought I would ever get to see them live.

Was lucky enough to see them in bridlington lat year and they smashed it, loved every minute of it PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tour again

SUENA BIEN



[cheekyhamsta]

IMAO the best song from The Specials. Love Terry Hall's voice in this. Weirdly coincidental that both Bob Marley and The Specials had great songs called "Concrete Jungle" and "Rat Race", although Bob Marley's came out first of course

[kapnzach]

I want to start a ska band SOOOO bad!

[TghIII]

anyone tell me why twotone became associated with racism & 'paki beating' ?

[ANACATALINA16]

@TghIII no is not to racism, is the opposite: to not rascim! because people from jamaica went to england where everyone were white! and they were in the poor parts of england.... theY went with their music and they mixed with influences of the music there. and we got THIS then! of course they suffered for rascim there! but always there were intelligent people disagree with that! thats why black and white on squares one and then the other one! all the same size! couse the union of "races"!

[THEGRINNINGDOGGY]

Terrific- reminds me of when MTV first came out and we suddenly were exposed to all these great unheard of bands ! THE SPECIALS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE

[cacheeka]

[RangersOldBoy]

1980 Glasgow Apollo, one of the greatest Specials gigs ever.

[YassinTheAssassin]

Terry looks a bit like Frankie Boyle in this one.

[SerenaoftheInterwebs]

I love me some Specials! <3

[luj0va]

jerry dammers was the best,

is a shame he's not playing with the specials now!!!

[8majky8]

FANTASTIC MUSIC

[CinderellaLatte]

I love SKA!!!

[notfragile33]

This was a revelation to me when I was 10 years old. I didn't know before that you could do this to a piano (play the strings of the piano). What a unique sound it made!

[coonagh1]

My very first LP was The Specials. Love the Telecaster, Lynville! One of my favourites.

[Colombchaos]

What an awesome band!

[crapp0101192]

Awesome song, awesome genre, awesome sound, awesome band!
