Reggae suggestions?

[Dubista]

Well something weird came over me today while I was scrolling around online and I ended up clicking this on YouTube:

YouTube - ‪2NE1 - LONELY (Reggae Version - YG On Air EP5)‬‏

Normally, I'm not one to listen to this kind of music. Heck, I can't even understand what they're singing about but I just LOVE the reggae feel of it.. (the singers aren't too hard on the eyes either).

What I'm asking is for any band or song suggestions for this kind of upbeat reggae feel because I have seriously no clue where to start. I already have some Marley tracks but I just want more; I can't help myself

Thanks in advance.

i didn't click the link, but you can't go wrong with black uhuru or steel pulse, both are great bands with really great bass playing...

 

[Dubista]

Wow, thanks for that. I'm just YouTube-ing these suggestions and I'm just loving it.

Thanks

I listened a lot to Skatalites, Marley, Peter Tosh, Seeed (triple e, german reggae), basically everything between old ska and modern reggae. Even wrote a thesis about 'jamaican bassplaying' for my conservatory studies; What it all comes down to is listen a ton of different bands and take what you like, incorporate that in your playing.
