Bad Brains and The Clash were both heavily influenced, as were The Police (if new wave counts)

Somebody wrote: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well, Back in the day Detroit had a largish punk scene. One of punks primary influences was Jamaican reggae & dubb. Just had to bring it all back full circle. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Do you have any evidence of this? Can you support this claim? Are you Iggy Pop? The only influence Dub and Reggae may have had on punk is the message they tried to get across. Ska was directly influenced by the rhythms and sounds of Dub and Reggae as is apparent in the music, however Ska-punk cross pollination really didn't happen until about '88 when Operation Ivy hit the scene. Unless you consider The Specials and The English Beat 'punk', I'd really like to know where you got this idea.
