The rest are just copycats.
Fans of Toots and the Maytals or the Viceroys (of which I'm one) take vigorous exception to this vapid remark. If the greater point is that reggae is principally a producer's medium, I'll agree with that.

Music Head Wrote:#301 - Rolling Stones - Street Fighting Man - 1968It doesn't take a close reading of the lyrics to know he was talking about bottled-up rage and eventual submission--the "...compromise solution..." part. And about "...kill the king...": Jagger lived most of his life with a Queen as head, so knighthood isn't an issue. What he was pissed about then is even more true now, what with the UKsters having sold the last of their principles for dirty Russian money.
just never knew what Mick was on about here. Killing the King?
How will you ever get knighted mate?

Music Head Wrote:#300 - Al Green - Tired Of Being Alone - 1971From '88-'06, this band Texas was hot as a pistol in Europe especially France. I found their take on this quite fetching: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2dA7e4Mfno << do check out their other stuff too, for example Elbow Parsley's "Suspicious Minds".: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5_Or9-bYhE Here's another take, by the Subdudes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g485i0dJnjw << you'd have to look long and hard to find a fakier, crappier vid but the playing's alright.
I see this was covered by a Scottish band named Texas in 1992, which made #19 in the UK.
