Fiery Furnaces. Their genius totally eludes me despite several attempts.
I don't think there's much genius as such there. A few decent tunes amidst a sea of wacky art school kwaziness.

lee perry. he annoys me.


He's one of those strange people who seemed to lose all taste and talent at a point in their career, isn't he? With him it was (in my opinion), when his studio burned down.Invariably, or just sometimes?![]()

I like soul, dance and funk but don't like James Brown![]()
some blokes with bumfluff moustaches and sleeveless denim jackets will no doubt beat me up because of this, at some point in my life.

lee perry. he annoys me.

he is most famous and respected for producing other people tho. his voice is a bit ropy when he sings himself.

oh i know that. i know his music and know a lot of it (spesh early stuff imo) is really good.
i'm not sure if it's actually him that gets on my nerves or the fact that people (often who know little about the breadth of reggae music) cite him as some kind of god and the only 'worthy' reggae artist.
over the 20 or so years i've been loving reggae, i've heard this Perry = God thing endlessly from blokes, the ones who seem to be purists and only like dub - (also who look down on most reggae singers)
tbh, i don't like his voice much either....
i think my objection to him is similar to Jefe's bob marley one...maybe.![]()

i see what you mean, he is like the "token reggae artists to get features in Mojo magazine"

Just make sure you dont bump into me in 1988![]()
