UB40 Wonderful spacey white dub reggae stoner music,
at least until they did "Red Red Wine" and turned into a coffee table yuppie
hit machine.
Essential Everything up to "Red Red Wine".
ULTRA VIVID SCENE In reality one guy. Kurt Ralske, who writes,
sings and plays most of the instruments, occasionally augmented by other
musicians. Beautifully crafted, softly sung, mini epic masterpieces.
Essential "Joy 1967 - 1990" l.p.
UNDERTONES Perky punky Irish tearaways. Great singles band.
the nearest that Ireland got to the Ramones. fergal was another great warbler.
Essential All the singles, and the first l.p.
