BTW Lazie , Sass etc how do you rate Chronixx? I am just lately getting into his music and I am impressed. Seems to really put some thought into his lyrics, and I believe I heard he is like 20 or 21?

Looks like he has built a following in Africa. Love dat. Hope him can stay grounded and go to higher heights.

He has some songs that I do love.

We had some good ones but after Roy Rayon, Astronaut and Eric Donaldson it went down the drain.

I can't leave out Tinga "play di music" outa mines. When I listen to Freddy McKay "Dance Dis a Festival ". I thought wow this was a wicked talent.

My All-Time Favorites

At the top of the My Favorites list are “Bam Bam” by Toots & the Maytals (1966) and “Play De Music” by Tinga Stewart (1974).

Probably the greatest festival song was “Golden Festival” by Roy Shirley (1968). Unfortunately, this song never made the final top ten cut as apparently while Roy Shirley was on his way to the Festival office he was held up and the tape stolen.

My other favorites include:
“Ba Ba Boom” by the Jamaicans (1967)
“Sweet & Dandy” by Toots & the Maytals (1969)
“Cherry Oh Baby” by Eric Donaldson (1971)
“Dance Dis Ya Festival” by Freddie McKay (1976)
“Sweet Jamaica” by Eric Donaldson (1977)
“Born Jamaican” by the Astronauts 1979)

It is obvious that I prefer the festival songs from the first decade or so.

That is exactly the year I tuned out too and said this is ridiculous.

I see they just had a poll about all time favorite festival songs and Land Of My Birth by Eric Donaldson was on top. My favorite Eric Donaldson is Sweet Jamaica , Other favorites are Love Fever and Come Rock by Roy Rayon and Born Jamaican by the Astronauts. Of the ones before my time its Sweet and Dandy by Toots.

festival song this year? Must admit, ever since the song "Stop and Go!", me just stop. It just clicked to me that I haven't heard any festival songs whatsoever, unless the selectors thing Chronixx's Smile Jamaica is a Festival song.
