Re: favarate 80's dancehall tunes

you can't list supercat and not list ghetto red hot or don dada, or the sleng teng joint...Ninja had many killers!

Chaka Demus and Pliers, Dem a Bleach...

shabba crushed many of my dancefloors..."as good as the best of them, and as bad as the worst....so don't test me, you better move over..."

mmmhmmm, just the bass line would call them out to move.

And nobody mention John Holt yet.

only 5 is too tough.

another slayer, El General, Pun Tun...

and if I really wanted a frenzy, Sister Nancy on the Stalag...to this day a melter combo.
