I just love reggae, I can't help it.

Bob Marley is one of my all time favourite artists and I reccomend anything by him.
Do you guys know of any other reggea artists/bands that are worth recomending?

:m: :D

Now, i know pop culture is a boil on the ass but I can't help but like Sean Paul. I *love* raggea too. Remember Shabba? When you've got Marley there's really no one else I could possibly think of to recommend- he is reggae. All the Marley's are. No need to look elsewhere.

But if you don't mind a female rastas, try Patra.;)

I used to like the song Informer by snow.. ya know "a licky boom boom down"

lol

reggae is freakin awesome. i like that it is incorporated into other forms of music. sublime has alot of reggae influence. i love sublime...

:D

the 80s were awesome! depeche mode, joy division, the cure, etc. oh man, i wish all that was still popular instead of what is broadcasted across mtv to be passed on as good music.

and I don't like that it's fused into the mainstream, as with ska music. I can't stand No Dout or 311

Oh god yes! I wish I had been old enough in the 80's to really appreaciate the music. All these bands and musicians I dig now I would've puked had my friends caught me listening.

ska - crappy examples, try the two tone roster

Buju Banton is one of the best.

I've also been listening to Damian Marley lately which is like reggae/hip-hop

During the 1980s serious music fans were saying the same thing about that era's contemporary music. They longed for the good old days of "the sixties," which was actually the period from 1964-1975: pre-disco, pre-power pop, pre-punk. dMode and jDiv didn't get much airplay, it was easy to not even know what they sounded like. The Cure had a couple of videos on MTV but they were naturally the more poppy stuff like "Let's Go to Bed," not their typical output. Most of what we heard and saw was of the post-new-wave or techno-funk school like Madonna, the Thompson Twins, and Duran Duran. Many people wrote it off as "it's still disco and it still sucks." Even though they were happily listening to the thump-thump-thump-thump of our icons Roxy Music (dance-a-way-the-heart-aches) and Pink Floyd (we-don't-need-no-ed-joo-kay-shun) adapting to the times!

Actually I like all three of them and distilled my own compilations from their albums. I thought the Twins and Duran were terribly underrated, their music was incredibly tight and sophisticated and not at all computer-generated. (No excuse for liking Madonna, sorry. I also have Avril Lavigne's CD.) But then we also managed to connect with the Cure's "real" music and saw them in concert several times. As for dMode, we had the benefit of living in L.A., the only city in America with a big fan base. They'd play club dates or municipal auditoriums all over the country, and then hit southern California and do a week in stadiums.

I"ll take a break from vacationing to reply to this post:

--Cool fucking list; except you have to take UB40 out--too many damn covers and not enough original stuff, and rather, add Peter Tosh and Beres Hammond

"no skanky ass dancehall shit in here "

LMAO. Some dancehall is mad cool. BountyKilla's earlier joints were simply off the hook!! Same for Beenie and Spragga. When they first start, it is all RAW...success in the USA inevitably leads to packaging and degeneration.

TOK!!!!
Red Rat
Monster Shack
Mr. Vegas

Beenie, Lady Saw, Baby Cham, Spragga, Sean Paul, Ward 21, Tanya Stephens, Bounty, Scare Dem Crew, Wayne Wonder, Buju

Jimmy Cliff, Lee Perry, Peter Tosh, as for the other Marley's I think Ziggy is the best.

I just listened to the album Handsworth Revolution by Steel Pulse and I was blown away!
I love these guys, I recomend any of you guys listen to something from this album, I don't know if it's easy to find as I had never heard of them before I dug out my dads old LP collection...

For starts you can try downloading Prodigal Son or Handsworth Revolution(song title).

oh and Macka Splaff ofcourse :D :m:

edit: HR by Steel pulse, not the other way arround:D. Oops
