Im aware this is over a year late, but it aint just those who grew up with Terry to understand his impact. Im a 20 year old lad, and The Specials mean more to me than anything else in music. Lyrics timeless and so true and will be forever. I may be in the minority of people my age who listen to The Specials but my god theyre so important not just to me personally but the world we live in today. Legends never die!

I find this weird, Terry's death is hitting / affecting me more than I thought it should ! Terry was truly the first voice of my youth, my coming of age...✊ The very first piece of music I ever bought, at 11yrs old, was "Ghost Town" 7", and I still have it. Terry / The Specials where such a foundation for my [not just music, but] political motivations, even well into today. When I bought "Ghost Town", at that young age, I knew they're Anti-Racist, anti-Thatcher and linking that to Bob Sands & the Hunger Strikes, The Troubles, and so-on... .

Coventry's finest indeed, the most underrated band to ever come out of the UK. In my opinion, the best band ever out of the UK, without the specials, we wouldnt have ragga, Jungle, drum and bass....they pioneered the cross racial risk factor in British music during a pretty stagnant post seventies hippy depression. British society wasnt a pretty place in the midlands or down south for that matter, a lot of tension and fuck all to do about it, great lads.
