For the dub influence, check out their first album, 'Zenyatta Mondatta'.

Well, I understand in 1977 they did "Every Little Thing She Does is 
Magic." AND reggae? Mr. Tonwshend was right -- punk rock!. :)

I know they have origins in sort of that milieu, in a vague way. But so 
do a lot of that came from London at the time.
