Great band. I like them better from their earlier, more rootsy days (get Live and Direct) but their later stuff is certainly good too.

From da album:



This later period one rocks hard and sends a positve message too:

Thanks for sharing those.

Aswad weren't the only band who went from roots/reggae to a much more pop-based sound combined with reggae riddims.

IMO the ultimate exampe of this is UB40. Maxi Priest too.

Me either. I always thought that this was the original. I think Ace of Base (ugh) did this in this version, lol.
