Your favourite Reggae/Dub/Ska acts???

And please don't put down Bob Marley, there is more to scene than him, sometimes I think they should rename this the Bob Marley forum.

I like the following and have linked one tune for each, for people to listen to.

I don't really like Reggae, like some ska.. But put some punk in there and you have a winner!

 

you've got a kickass list there, essecialy the skatilites, those guys are gods.
heres some:
Desmond Deker
Max Romeo
Lee "Scratch" Perry
Owen Grey
Prince Buster (another god)
the Uppeseters
Toots and the maytals
the makeshift heroes
scratch 3
the planet smashers (not really first wave)
slightly stoopid
the aggrolites

thats all for now
peace

 

Nice list man, some good stuff there!

 

Pretty solid list you guys have put together, though get rid of RBF, slightly stoopid and planet smashers, add jimmy cliff, the shadows, and paragons, maybe some black uhuru and you got yourself a good list of essentials.

 

First and foremost the wonderful Desmond Dekker who paved the way in public awareness of reggae music as a black musician, King Tubby, Freddie McGregor, Little Roy, Mickey General, Gregory Isaacs, the late, great Dennis Brown, Culture, the Abbasynians, Inner Circle (Jacob Miller sorely missed), Burning Spear, Luciano, Frankie Paul, Bunny Selassie (miss u too man), Twinkle Brothers, Dub Judah, Sista Aisha, Peter Hunnigale, Steel Pulse, Aswad, Sly and Robbie, Delroy Washington...

 

No one likes sublime?

 

Sublime is over-rated, watered down, boring music with a reggae/ska beat, same with matisyahu.

 

To each thier own mate......

 

king tubby is soo siiick!

 

Buju Banton... Red Rat

 

Mr. Sexy and The Super Ska Machine
Reel Big Fish
Operation Ivy

 

A lot of you may think of this as party music,but the man actually served time for ganja possession. Toots Hibbert. And I know a bunch of you think your too cool to list Bob Marley. But I am the coolest of Cool(ck out my Hawaiian shirt collection and Jimmy Buffett Cd's ). But Marley is it. Sublime is cool Too

 

Thanks for listing Jacob Miller
Don´t forget about JUnior Kelly and Warrior King

Much love

 

pulse

 

What about Ska-P? :H

 

Bim Sherman
Misty in Roots
King Tubby
Desmond Decker
Lee "scratch" perry
The Congos
U-Roy
Scientist
Horace Andy

etc etc I could go on for a while

 

Nice call with The Congos

Last night I heard a song on Ottawa radio that I heard in Toronto around Chirstmas. I loved it but didn't catch the bands name. Last night when the song came on I made sure that I got it this time.

Enjoy!
