Ranking Roger on 08:52 - Mar 27 with 1450 views | ElHoop | RIP Roger - very sad news indeed. Saw The Beat twice - the first time a million years ago when they were supported by Linton Kwesi Johnson if my memory serves me correct (it probably doesn't) and recently at Glastonbury in 2017. They were still pretty lively that day - hopefully Junior can keep the show on the road. | | | | Login to get fewer ads
Ranking Roger on 16:43 - Mar 29 with 1043 views | qpr1976 | 1st album was a classic IMO, along with debuts from Specials, Dexys MR, Madness & UB40 (before became an covers band !) One of the 1st times I’d heard the ‘C U Next Tuesday’ word in a song on Two Swords (ignoring Rotten’s mis pronounciation of Country in Anarchy in the UK. Saw the original band get the crowd buzzing for David Bowie on the serious moonlight tour. ‘82. Sad that 2 versions of The Beat have diluted their legacy in recent times. But Roger was a good man by all accounts, introduced me to Toasting, Far too young to have to deal with all that sh!t. RiP Sir. | | | |
