ECG,The Sunday will be a top day theres a good mixture of styles in there.As far as Im concerned theres no such thing as too much reggae I could listen to it all day & then again tomorrow.

I love my reggae; vastly underrated music. Prob wont be going to these gigs. Preferred last years line-up but couldnt make it and this year's seems lukewarm in comparison.
If you're an illegal downloader Mr Crimes you should be ashamed of yourself. But if you are I challenge you, nay defy you to listen to Easy Star All Stars album Radiodread (start with Paranoid Android if you want a single song) and not think its tremendous. Go on I dare you.
Personally I couldnt give a fat flying monkey's smelly jism for Radiohead and I dont think you should let that hinder you. I listened to the album driving to work today.
I' know you have good music taste adn I'm waiting your response Mr Crimes :grin:

See, now thats spooky.

When I linked that version of "Have You Ever Seen The Rain", I went out t'back to get my guitar because I quite like playing that song, it's four of the five chords I know!

Anyhow, I ended up strumming "Fake Plastic Trees", and then I come back on here, and you're talking about Radiohead. :shock:

Creepy!

That must have underemployed your chord knowledge but stretched you vocal chords?? :grin:

Ey now steady on Salty. Reggae vile. I don't think so.

Went to see Jazz Jamaica in a little lancashire village called St Helens and had a great night. I reckon it might be the music of some of the people.

And some great interpretations of folkie stuff was done by Edward ll. Plough The Speed was good enough for me and what about 'H'early One Morning '. If that doesn't get their fingers out of their ears they're comatose.

Morrissey took that quote back as well Salty, as you probably well know.
And if you have his Under the Influence compilation you will find reggae songs on there.
Morrissey said lots of things and he was a genius. But even genius's get some things wrong.
Reggae (good reggae for there is some shite stuff out there) is great :sweeeet:
