Cunnie Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 Just been flicking through Youtube & did the usual thing & stumbled onto some David Rodigan & thought now he's to the Reggae scene what Soul Sam is to the Soul scene. Love him or hate him you certainly can't ignore him. Opinions please (& don't forget I'm a novice down here in't Reggae room LOL)

Guest southpaw Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Shame the music's rubbish... Come on Pete a bit of variety make the world go round
manus Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 I remember going to the Black Echoes reggae awards at Hammersmith Palais I think it might have been 1980/81 or thereabouts and thinking how out of place Rodigan looked in his suit and tie - but the man knows his music. Aswad were playing that day and also there was some sort of scare - I don't if someone shouted fire or if there was some trouble that we couldn't see but suddenly a panic broke out and a wall of people came rushing at us - the whole place emptied really fast.. Cheers Manus
Cunnie Posted July 21, 2010 Author Posted July 21, 2010 Shame the music's rubbish... LOL. Knew you'd say that Pete but you'd also say the same about Sam so it kinda justifies my connection in my first post don't you think. Guy seems so wrong that he's right in a wrong kinda way if you know what I mean, a bit like dear old Sam really. Got to go see him live & sooner rather than later.
Cunnie Posted July 25, 2010 Author Posted July 25, 2010 Shame the music's rubbish... Wash your ears out Smithy & look at this for a bargain from the BBE website. £3.50 well spent & just a shame that volume 2 was sold out but cheap enough on places like amazon. https://www.bbemusic.com/data.pl?release=BBECD105
Pete S Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Wash your ears out Smithy & look at this for a bargain from the BBE website. £3.50 well spent & just a shame that volume 2 was sold out but cheap enough on places like amazon. https://www.bbemusic.com/data.pl?release=BBECD105 No need to wash my ears out, I've got more of this type of music than you could shake a shitty stick at - thousands of tracks of 70's reggae - and guess what, they all sound the same. The 60's had the urgency of ska, the soulfulness of rocksteady and the energy of the new reggae, 70's onwards the music goes all rootsy and boring. I'm afraid I can't relate to jah rastafari, babylon and smoking weed. Same as soul music, that used to be good, same scenario, sounds change, styles change, you either like it or you don't. The CD you recommended would last about 5 minutes, like they all do.

Dylan Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 good little clash here. rodigan gets accused of bringing a bodyguard so he just runs into crowd and dances with them
Biggordy Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Have you seen the clash in NYC where he came on stage dressed as Elvis? The guy's a nutter but a legendary entertaining nutter with amazing tunes!!!! G
Pete S Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 good little clash here. rodigan gets accused of bringing a bodyguard so he just runs into crowd and dances with them Unlistenable rubbish music
Marc Forrest Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Back in the eighties when my shirts were checkered and my parting was shaved "Rodigans Rockers" on BFBS every thursday evening was a MUST HEAR. Later on in the nineties I heard him play a couple of times live in Berlin but was slightly dissappointed...maybe my expectations were set to high. Marc
