5 Albums I Can’t Live Without:
1
The Clash, The Clash
I was lucky enough to see them five or six times. Every song on it is a winner, especially “London’s Burning.”
2
The Specials, The Specials
We had the great privilege of going on the 2-Tone Tour with the Specials in 1979 with The Selecter. It was probably the highlight of my life.
3
The Harder They Come Soundtrack, Jimmy Cliff
A great album, a great film, and great songs. If you’re interested in discovering the early development of rocksteady, this is the album for you.
4
Get Happy!!, Elvis Costello and the Attractions
Brilliant songwriter, Elvis, but this particular record produced by Nick Lowe was a kind of an homage to Stax [Records]. I don’t think there’s a track that’s much more than two minutes long, it’s just a great ball of excitement.
5
New Boots & Panties!!, Ian Dury
Such a colorful album and the lyrics are probably the best I’ve come across.
