If you played the man in the street a Mowtown Record and a Stax Record
he'd probably not know which was on which label, and he'd probably think they were the same sort of genre.

yeah, but if you played the man in the street a U2 record he might say it was good.
The man in the street is no indication of anything

and there isn't a man in my street.

I just live in a Cul de Sac in a suburb. We don't get a lot of passing traffic.

From 0.50 - Let's ask the man in the street what he thinks...

I agree.
So unless you can think of any others the claim re Industrial Records appears to be right. I keep thinking 'surely not'.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_Tone

I thought you had something there but the genre is ska and 2Tone's just a style of it, no?

(, Thu 23 Jun 2011, 10:23, Reply)
I'm not certain, but I'm fairly confident that is where the name 2tone came from...
But I usually hear of Ska and 2-tone mentioned next to one another, so I'm not sure.

It is.
But it's like Motown in that you could recognise a 2Tone-style song - but the genre is ska much as Motown's just a style of soul.

Ahh, I get you

I was going to suggest that
Also, Acid Jazz Records (perhaps?), Blue Beat Records, er...
I'm sure there are others
