wareika

also legalize it!!! by peter tosh

"Road Block"-Bob Marley
"Burnin' And Lootin'"-Wailers
These are a couple I remember reading were "Banned". However, Bob had a tough time getting any of his tunes played, hence the stories of DJ's being "pressured" by aquaintences of Bob to play TUFF GONG product.

I think Niney's "Blood & Fire" was also banned.

Then there were plenty of tunes, though not officially banned, that just weren't given airplay for whatever reason, but became huge hits through the Sound Systems.

alot of yellowman tracks were banned and i think eek a mouse - wa do dem was also banned

are any sizzla or capleton songs banned?

I have a track called 'smokin rock' that was banned but I don't know who recorded it. I think it was an early 70's song.

'Smokin Rock' - are you talking about the Trinity cut??

That was banned? how funny.

I know Culture's "Two Sevens Clash" caused a MAJOR uproar, but I'm not sure it was banned.
