Wow an old thread dragged kicking and screaming!

Ska was the original incarnation but it borrowed a lot from Soul and lacked identity at times. Reggae is where it's at for me. It really got an identity all of it's own.

Dub is a close second and is still in my eyes the most influential genre outside of America in terms of modern music.
