Well, here it is Thursday and only now I am I getting around to doing my Three Tune Tuesday. It been one of those weeks that I feel like I'm constantly catching up, always more that needs to be done that there are hours in the day... At least I found some time this afternoon to throw together a post.

First off I just wanted to say thank you to @ablaze who started and continues to sponsor this fun weekly event. Each week you can share some of your favorite tunes, and one random participant even wins some free HSBI units. Just make sure to use the tags #ttt or #threetunetuesday, and it's never a bad idea to do a shoutout to @ablaze just to be safe!

Today I felt in the mood for some ska/reggae music, and I'll kick off the fun with The English Beat. Or four those over in the UK, The Beat!

The English Beat

Also known as The Beat in England, these guys came together in 1978 and fused ska, reggae, and punk into their music. They released three albums in the early 1980's with multiple hit songs. Then they dissolved as a band in 1983 leading to the formations of two other well known bands that I'll discuss below. This one is called "Save It For Later":

General Public

After the breakup of The English Beat, singer Dave Wakeling and Ranking Roger teamed up with some former members of The Clash, Dexy's Midnight Runners, and the Specials. In 1984 they released there debut album called "All The Rage" which include their big hit "Tenderness" and "Hot You're Cool", this one is "Tenderness":

Fine Young Cannibals

Formed in 1984 after the dissolution of English Beat, bassist David Steele and guitarist Andy Cox joined forces with singer Roland Gift. They produce two studio albums with the biggest one coming in 1989 with "The Raw and the Cooked". Their biggest hit was the song: "She Drives Me Crazy":

That will just about wraps up this edition of Three Tune Tuesday, even though it's really Thursday. I hope you enjoyed some of the picks today. As always please free free to leave any comments or questions below, and thank you all so much for all of the support. It's greatly appreciated. Have a good day everyone!
