Album: Wanted Dread and Alive
Year: 1981
. . .
Yes, the title is slightly cheesy, and the lyrics aren’t all that original, but fuck all that, “Wanted Dread And Alive” is quite possibly my all-time favorite reggae song.
Maybe “Armagideon Time,” “Book of Rules,” “Put It On” or “Funky Kingston” could have claims to that title, but “Wanted Dread And Alive” has absolutely killed me ever since I first spun it at the pre-air KFSR in 1981.
