WTF Rockers Galore???
There are some sick people round here

It was the weakest track out of a bunch of good ones.


Also, it’s not that great.

Admittedly that poll probably had the most consistent list of good songs out of all the polls but RG is better than City Of The Dead plus RG is great.

It isn’t and it isn’t.

Rocker's Galore is both worse than just about every b side that came before it, and better than just about every b side that came after.

[matedog]

RG is the one that’s just Mikey Dread talking over Bankrobber right?

[Flex]

Yeah, that's the one.

To a white man yes

Still grieving over Dictator, hardly the worst song on the side.

Good god, I'm agreeing with you again. City of the Dead is great, a proper song. Whilst I like Mikey's toasting on Living In Fame, Rockers Galore always seemed like a lazy toss off.
