I'd add...
Black Uhuru - some of Sly and Robbie's best work
Bunny Wailer
Gregory Isaacs
Steel Pulse
Third World
Also, for some beautiful old-school dub, check out Augustus Pablo.

Go out and buy yourself a copy of the Rough Guide to Reggae. It's be best book/starting place you can have. The guy who wrote it and did most of the leg work is probably the most knowledgeable in the world, and also owns one of the best record labels in the world.

if you can find an album called 'downbeat the ruler,' it's a cool compilation of some great jamaican studio bands (soul vendors, sound dimension, etc.).
a lot of great reggae and dub have come from south america as well.
