Anyone else a big fan of these.

I went up to see them in Coventry a few years back and they were amazing. What's your favourite Specials track?

Big fan, not had a chance to see them since the reunion though. Hope they're playing Glasto, otherwise will see them on October tour, playing on my birthday.

Got to go with the classic Message though for favourite track.

I was a fan back when i was a kid and i finally got the chance to see them in Brixton a couple of years back, just a brilliant live band.

My fav song if i had to pick one would be "Do nothing" or maybe "Rat Race", then again Ghost Town is great lol to many aint there.

cant say a bad thing about them... taking old ska sounds and creating a new movement as an alternative (or a complimentary) to punk and disco...

I was a big fan as a 12 year old 'rude boy'

My faves include 'Gangsters', 'Too Much Too Young', 'Do Nothing', 'Hey Little Rich Girl'.

I don't think there was a bad track on either of their two albums, but I did think 'Stereotypes' was a bit a bit too low key for a single.

I think the extended version where it goes into Roddy on guitar with Nev toasting is genius, much better than the single.
