so i'm extremely new to reggae

Everyones pretty much said everything I was going to mention but since bad brains/ matistahu has been mentioned check out sublime, slightly stupid, Babylon burn down, rebelution and high tide.

Also like to specifically note that jimmy cliff's "the harder they come" is an amazing album.

Songs:
salmonella dub-love your ways
eek a mouse-ganja smugglin
black uhuru-sensimilla
ziggy Marley-tomorrow people
damien Marley-welcome to jamrock
slightly stoopid-stormtrooper
the clash-police and thieves

 

rebelution cant play a show for their lives

 

I saw them back at a college party, my friends were obssessed with them and they were good, haven't really followed them much since though.

 

It also depends WHAT KIND of reggae you like ? But I love it all so here are some of my favs.
Rebelution, Stick Figure, Natural Incense, Giand Panda Guerilla Dub Squad, John Browns Body, Full Serive, Slightly Stoopid, Mighty Mystic, Buju Banton, All the Marleys...Bob, Ziggy, Damian. State Radio, Dispatch, Long Beach Dub All Stars, 10 ft ganja plant, Mosaic Foundation, Groundation, The supervilliians, Michael Franti, The Black Seeds, Tribal Seeds, The B Foundation, The expendebles, Pacific Dub,Still Time, The Hallway Ballers,

 

I LOVE REBELUTION! They were amazing when I seen them I thought they played way better than State Radio when they played together in NY!
