looking for some good reggae songs
 

I am a fan of bob marley, and I also enjoy sublime, just looking for some other badass reggae type shit

any ideas?

If you like dub at all try Sly & Robbie. They used to play with Marley and Tosh and it's mostly funky instrumental..well..dubs..

go to the roots of reggae!

Check out Half Pint. Released a greatest hits album under Skunk Records. Bradley was a big fan.

easy star all stars remix of pink floyd's dark side of the moon. fucking AWESOME! if you can't find it, i'll upload it tommorrow for you, hit me on ICQ. you won't be sorry.

theres one w/ a band im in :)

buju banton

u said u like sublime have u found the band after the lead singer OD'd? Long Beach Dub AllStars

bunky

I'm almost afraid of this one. I have yet to hear a Floyd cover that is not insulting to the original.

thats what i thought.. then i heard it. everyone i've given it to, loves it.

Beres Hammond , Morgan Heritage for mellow smoke a bowl to culture reggae. Try Capelton , Sizzla or Beanie Man for hardcore dancehall. :thumbsup

you know what I really want, shit that is or similar to the reggae station in GTA 3 ... I'm pretty sure its called dub but not really sure, but some of those songs really kick ass

hell fuckin yeah...

thats dub... go on kazaa and look for "dub side of the moon"

downloading like 100 songs, thanks guys

See my first post, Sly and Robbie are the kings of dub

im not too into the dub style of reggae but I am a hardcore dancehall machine

man, some of this dub is ok but the rest is the same loops over and over again, kinda liek techno, only real slow

It would be perfect with some lyrics

Yellowman!

Yeah dub is pretty much ambient, not exactly sing along.. :rasta

How about Peter Tosh? Are you a fan? Marley and Tosh go hand in hand

Also try Alphablondy but you will have a hard time finding this. African reggae from the 80s. Not sure exact country.

Leaning further into African good ambient beats and funky sounds: African Head Charge

word...old school reggae to the fullest!

red red wine you make me feel so fine

Dr Alimantado - Best dressed chicken in town
Eek a mouse - Wa do dem
Scientist - Heavyweight dub champion of the world
Augustus Pablo - the dub remix of Hugh Mundels Africa must be free

anything by Jimmy Cliff...no one better.

for ska-punk check out a little known UK band called Jesse James. They have been on my radar for a couple years now and are just starting to make things happen.

:thumbsup

Check out the bargain bin of CDs at just about any place that sells music and see if you can find the Masters of Reggae collection...really cool stuff from the 60's and 70's. Some of the popular greats plus a few acts nobody north of Cuba has ever heard of. Oh, looks like there are a couple for sale on zShops, so Ebay or whatever might have a few lying around.

Edit - just checked Amazon.com, they have both volumes. Cool, I might have to buy myself a present today...lost my copies to the ex...
