Need some good reggae

[AmazingGracePlayer]

I'm looking for some good, upbeat reggae or some reggae/hip-hop combination of some sort. Bob Marley is good, but I've been listening to him for ages, and it's starting to get boring. I also have been listening to Stephen and Damian Marley, Steely Pulse, and Third World. Any other recommendations?

How bout trying out some skatalites , toots and the maytals , Max Romeo , The Gladiators or something more recent Groundation...
Bob Marley will never ever get me bored man.... He is THE best reggae anyway

legalise it is my favorite reggae album by far. equal rights is sick as well.

 

[J. Crawford]

Drifting Along by Jamiroquia is one of my favorite reggae songs.

 

[Jared Lash]

Desmond Dekker (rock steady), Dennis Brown (reggae), Gregory Isaacs (reggae), the skatalites (ska), the Ethiopians (ska), King Tubby (dub), Scientist (dub), Scratch Perry (dub), The Selector (british ska revival), Fab Freddy's Drop (modern soul/dub).

Just a few. There's hundreds more.

A huuuuuuge +1 on Peter Tosh. My company is in the process of putting together a dance and a type of cover for Legalize It. Amazing: Peter Tosh is it.

Pick up "Studio One Rockers" on Soul Jazz Records. That one compilation will open a lot of doors for you.

If you've never listened to 10ft. Ganja Plant and John Brown's Body then you've missed out on the some of the best modern reggae. Go buy 10ft's CD "Hillside Airstrip" off of itunes RIGHT NOW.

You will thank me.

all great suggestions. might i add israel vibrations (roots) and augustus pablo (dub). also, the specials are great - it may not be reggae according to purists, but they play great upbeat ska.

 

[IdealWay]

Groundation, Rebelution, Augustus Pablo, Dubconscious, to name a few

 

[FatherDH]

Seriously.... Dominic Balli. Heavy grooves and sick bass!

 

[Captain_Arrrg]

Toots and the Maytals
Black Uhuru

 

[SundanceChile]

Go into Grooveshark and type in Sly and Robbie.

 

[murphy]

Burning Spear.....smooooooth

 

[Linkert]

The Gladiators & Culture are my favorites!

 

[Jason!]

+1 for Toots!

I dig reggae comps. Pick up a couple Trojan box sets for some old schooly reggae.

I really like Steel Pulse - Earth Crisis
