Re: reggae music
Kilgore: I am having a bad day imo. I'm either getting sick or I'm dt'ing since I haven't had a drink in 3 days.
Still, I stand by the general idea that reggae as a genre peaked in the late 1970s and by the mid-late 80s had stultified. I don't know all those bands, and many of them I would maybe like, but when you're getting into a new kind of music (esp one that is very homogenous like reggae) it's usually easier to say, get a bunch of Trojan records rocksteady, ska, or roots boxes (like so ) and check it out that way than buying a mediocre 90s record by Toots or like, Mustard Plug. YMMV --GA PS Start here imo |

Re: reggae music
Bob Marley not only put Reggae on the map, he actually ruined it, by becoming and transcending (yes - that's the word I was looking for) the genre. Seriously - I have all his records, love him but can't really listen to anything else. It's just not worth it. He was that good. Steel Pulse - heard it before - Alpha Blondy - heard it before, Burning Spear - heard it before, Eek a Mouse - well........
Thanks Bob |

Re: reggae music
Bob was the king,but there is a lot of other great reggae out there.Unfortunately,most of it is twenty years old.Check out some live Burning Spear,for instance.

Re: reggae music
i disagree with GA insofar as i like some stuff by hepcat, the skatalites, hell even white boys like the slackers, but i also don't really think of those as reggae records by any stretch. mostly ska or i guess 'rocksteady' (which has always seemed like an ambiguous genre to me).
basically though, i think the answer is bob marley, peter tosh, etc. also one band i haven't seen mentioned is Soul Syndicate, they were sort of the equivalent of the Funk Brothers in Jamaica - studio band that did a bunch of stuff. they have one of their own records called 'Harvest Uptown, Famine Downtown' that i like a lot. |
