Why the lack of love for Reggae? (funk, genre, albums)

Check out Burning Spear. They are pretty ace.

But no you certainly didn't waste your time. Speak later.

What course are you doing?

Anyway, lately I've developed a liking for a Jimmy Cliff compilation I have. Would anyone recommend any studio albums of his or reggae albums in general since it's a mostly untouched area of music for me?

I'll be honest, I like what I like and don't have much interest in learning more about what I am not familiar with. Country music, loved by millions but I just don't want to invest my time in finding out why that is. From what I have heard, Reggae pretty much sounds all the same to me... which isn't to say it sucks, I just don't give it enough attention to hear the differences from song song to song.

I will listen to the you tube videos posted though.

Classic albums:

Burning Spear-Marcus Garvey
Black Uhuru-Red
Bob Marley-Exodus
Dubmatix-Champion Soundclash
Aswad-S/T
Toots And The Maytals-Pressure Drop
Satta Massagana by THE ABYSSINIANS (I need this myself!)
