what would be your intro / signature tune ??

[MightyZ]

When I play a Ska set, my intro tune is
'Teenage Ska' Baba Brooks

For Rocksteady signature tune is 'You don't need me' - The Melodians

MightyZ

[Litelet]

Yeah MightyZ, Teenage Ska is great... love it too... skank a lot!

The probably *rarest* and by coincidence *tuffest* tune of my whole collection is a good competitor to be a "signature", I doubt to cross it another place...

*Spiritual Movement - Serious Time*

Simply murderation...

this is difficult. i'm too indecisive for this.

if i was going for an instrumental, i would say either:

tommy mccook - the bionic horn, OR
rico - free ganja

if i was going for a vocal, i would say either:

sugar minott - hard time pressure, OR
the meditations - life is not easy, OR
johnny osbourne - words of the ghetto

and, if i was going for a dub, i would say either:

tappa zukie - rub a dub a weh them want, OR
keith hudson - michael talbot affair

[mellow yellow]

the album king yellowman

[mber01]

Dennis Brown - Here I Come.... can never go wrong with this one..Changes the pace then drops the BASS..sing along style gets the crowd happy...

[Javier]

Gunman - Michael Prophet

a true classic

BONUS: The Spear's Marcus Garvey mixed with Big Youth's version

wicked!

[utodd]

the Word is Love by the Ethiopians, split channel recording lets the soundman drop the riddim for the acapella

[Marky Dread]

Rockers Time Now - Johnny Clarke

I like to play this one as a starter

hip hug SLIM SMITH (10 inch music lab) cos it turns anyone into the right mood...
strong rocksteady riddim, beautiful voice, lyrics...

come on and dance with me
come on and hip hug with me
come on and (dance and) be free
come on and rock steady

then the dub so you can talk to the audience...
and put some killer after this slow tempo intro...
