Yep , loved them at the time but then I was into the Clash , Pistols , Sham 69 , Stranglers etc at the time.
Oh you thought I meant Mr Marley and the Wailers.
Here's a pic I took this morning from the hotel. The Mersey with a random Easyjet!

The question you asked me about The Boss I could easily throw back at you about Bob Marley Anj. Reggae music was such an influential part of the music scene in the late 70s and early 80s. Not just the traditional Caribbean sound but the UK scene with the Police, UB40 and the two tone label groups. Some of the most iconic songs from the period were reggae based and, in my opinion, Bob Marley was at the heart of that. Absolutely love the base line in his songs.
She's still struggling a bit with flu symptoms and tiredness but slowly moving in the right direction.
Thanks for asking Jazzy.

Oh please. Far too much information. lol
Totally correct. The reggae beat in the Police is unmistakable.
One of my favourite lesser known singles was "Mirror in the Bathroom" by the Beat.

That period from 76 to 84 was the best is my opinion. And I loved most genres. Punk, new wave, reggae, new romance, even disco. I never really took to what was termed stadium rock though, which was strange because I was brought up on rock music and still love listening to the likes of Zeppelin, Floyd, Yes, Genesis, Purple, Hawkwind, Thin Lizzy etc.
Good point but I've never been into it. There are some songs that are amazing (Buffalo Soldiers being one) which I do like but the genre as a whole never appealed. I did go and see the Police once - the Synchronicity Tour, last one they did until they got together again years later. It was so obvious that they hated each other. I was much more into the electronic stuff in the 80s, OMD, Erasure, Human League, Ultravox, Flock of Seagulls, Queen, Bowie or the big hair soft rock bands. In the 70s I would say The Clash, Sex Pistols, Boomtown Rats, still Bowie in any of his personas - once I grew out of Glam Rock ? ? ( still love The Sweet). Like you with Bruce, I'm not anti reggae, it just doesn't do it for me.

Signing Off by UB40 is one of my favourite ever albums. If you haven't already heard the track "King" I'd recommend you google it. They wrote some fantastic songs, you wonder why they did so many covers. laziness maybe.
So , finished my gardening for the weekend. I was reshaping a border in my front garden, including moving a large Acer and Osmanthos which had become intertwined with a large Magnolia Grandiflora. Despite living in the countryside the front garden runs alongside a main road so don't really enjoy working there.
I've added a couple of photos.

Did you ever get over The Bay City Rollers splitting up Anj? lol
Loved the electronic sound by the way. Goes back to my teenage years when I loved Tangerine Dream, and then got into Kraftwerk. But I remember seeing Tubeway Army on the Old Grey Whistle test and was blown away. Went out and bought Replicas the next day.
