REGGAE GREATS

Until now I haven't posted any reggae on Nečista Savjest blog, so I decided to correct this by putting up this "the best of" type of compilations that I've bought in a shopping mall from one of those "great offer" type of wire baskets. Well, I have to say that I think I really got a deal since each of this CDs cost me about 30 Kn (kuna = Croatian money) which comes down to around 4 € for one CD. Bands are great, the ones I like the most are Black Uhuru (meaning Black Freedom) and Steel Pulse. I like reggae (but don't worry, I won't be turning this blog into a Bob Marley shrine) cos I find reggae to be revolutionary like punk. I mean, Bob Marley was singing about shooting cops (OK, he shot the sheriff, but not the deputy…) long before punks started to express their dislike with the boys in blue… The Clash, P.A.I.N. and a whole bunch of my favourite bands play a mix of punk and reggae/dub… So here it is, my first reggae post.
