IslandMix - Soca, Reggae, Zouk and Caribbean Entertainment

it is my opinion that as a total catalogue, krosfyah has produced better songs than any other soca band. if you agree or not let me know.

TOUCH out of St. Vincent and the Grenadines has a FABULOUS CATALOG of songs that will MATCH and surpassed 90% of the KNOWN soca bands in the Caribbean.

But as for the so-called KNOWN bands, Krosfyah has the BETTER and more LASTING music.

But Krosfyah's STANDARD has been DROPPING for the past 3 years.

I cannot REMEMBER a song, since SAK PASSE, that has been a HUGE HIT for Krosfyah.

So far I would have to agree much less I wanted to ste de same ting at one point... krosfyah produced de most hits throughout de caribbean and de states, canada, uk, etc.

I think they are the most consistent band, hands down. While their music may not be as popular as before, I feel their cd's still surpass other bands as a whole. Personally I think they push the wrong music. Some of the mid tempo/slower tunes I think have better potential than some of the faster ones. This year's Head Gone was a nice song, but they concentrated on Yardie Graduate. Tony Bailey's Sweetest Thing is a very nice song, but people have a tendency to only pay attention to Edwin's songs. While Edwin always has some nice music, as a band, both Khiomal & Tony Bailey have a lot of talent that often gets overlooked. Check last year's Bend Ova Gyal, Can I Hold You Tonight, or even Edwin's Holes. A lot of people only listened to Sugar Cane.


Anyhow, I still love them as a band, but as with most bands that have a strong lead singer, the rest of the talent is over looked. Take Sean Caruth. Great music, but overshadowed by Machel then Shurwayne.

you know I was coming to respond to this.

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion. Everybody has their own taste in music. Of all the soca bands I have been listening to for the past 24 years nobody could surpass the LEGENDARY BURNING FLAMES especially in terms of variety of soca and eastern caribbean music, genres and pure musical talent. Certain aspects may be debatable in terms of who had hits where or number of hits where.

As I see it, it may be debatable with Krosfyah and Burning Flames with slow tempo soca ..many will say Krosfyah had more hits and maybe more hits overall from that aspect. I think its just debatable on that level.

Lyrically Krosfyah is better.

Singing, it depends. When Flames had Onyan and Oungku they were better but when Onyan left Krosfyah is better.

But in uptempo music, variety of music , creativity and musical talent...its not even close...Flames all the way.

xtatik 1st

krosfyha n burning flames 2nd n 3rd, but burning flames still mekin sweet tunes, i dunt relle hear nothin much from krosyha like how dey back in da days songs were

well i have to apologize. i still think krosfyah is the best of all time, but i would have to agree that burning flames has a sound the no other band can match. if i had to argue for second place it would definitely be the flames

Rummy I totally totally agree with you, I also think headgone is the tune to be pushed, and you're soooooooooooooooooooooo right about Tony and Khio being over-looked, and God knows them does have some sweet tunes. Holes was another tune that was real sweet, and I cant say I ever heard it anywhere else besides the cd. It aint got nuttin in this post that I disagree with girlie, you pon point with this one.

stupessssss

Nobody!

Very good post. Very good point.

How I know you was gonna come with something like this?

How I know you was gonna come with something like this?

My sentimental favorite is Xtatik...but if I had to be totally objective, I really would have to push Krosfyah.
