Default Re: reggae music

Riverboat,

DL Freddie Mcgregor's "Big Ship"

if you like that,

DL Gregory Issacs:

Cool Down the Pace
Sad to Know
Tune In

This is Dancehall.

There are several styles of Jamaican music that get arbitrarily thrown into the reggae category.

check out:

Lee Perry any of his songs (dub)
The Maytones "Throw Down Your Arms" (roots)
Hepcat "Dance with Me" (rocksteady)
Alton Ellis "Rocksteady"
The Uniques "Watch This Sound" (rocksteady)
Eek-A-Mouse "Wa Do Dem" (dancehall)
Selecter "Too Much Pressure" (2nd wave ska)
Peter Tosh "Legalize It" "Well Runs Dry" (reggae along the vein of marley)

Also way sick if you haven't heard it:

HR - "Fool's Gold" "Youthman Sufferer" "The Youth are Getting Restless" (reggae/dub - lead singer of Bad Brains)

The Ethiopians "Engine 54" (Traditional Ska)

The Uniques "Let Him Go" (rocksteady)

The Victors "Reggae Buddy" (reggae)

Another guy you have to DL some of his tracks:

TOMMY MCCOOK!!!

Also, don't underestimate Sublime's work (non-mainstream release):

A bunch of tracks off of Robbin the HOod and 40 OZ to Freedom that a lot of people overlook are WAY SICK

who else?

THE UPSETTERS (dub)
THE SPECIALS - Ghost Town

Ummmmm, thats all off of the dome for now. ENJOY!
