Well, I didn't write the below statement but I know that the Clash worked
with Lee Perry and if you listen to Stiff Little Fingers you'd have to say
they were most certainly influenced by reggae. But then I'm talking about UK
punk bands because US punk was a throw back to blues and rockabilly. Before
the hardcore punk came along that is.

Well, Back in the day Detroit had a largish punk scene. One of punks
primary
influences was Jamaican reggae & dubb. Just had to bring it all back full
circle.

Do you have any evidence of this? Can you support this claim? Are you Iggy
Pop? The only influence Dub and Reggae may have had on punk is the message
they tried to get across. Ska was directly influenced by the rhythms and
sounds of Dub and Reggae as is apparent in the music, however Ska-punk
cross
pollination really didn't happen until about '88 when Operation Ivy hit the
scene. Unless you consider The Specials and The English Beat 'punk', I'd
really like to know where you got this idea.
