Just Discovered Reggae
 

Well i have just discovered reggae and all its glory. I just felt like listening to some bob marley, and i have always liked marley. but while i was listening to him, i looked him up on lastFM and seen some of his related artists and downloaded some burning spear, peter tosh, jimmy cliff, and augustus pablo. AMAZING. i have fell in love with this genre. its super relaxing and puts me at ease.

if anyone can suggest some of their favorite reggae artists, i would certainly appreciate it.

The Abyssinians.
Dubmatix.
Lee 'Scratch' Perry.
Soldiers Of Jah Army.
Richie Spice.
Ras Ibuna.
Marley Brothers.
Toots And The Maytals.
Gregory Isaacs.
10ft Ganja Plant.
Mad Professor.
Scientist.
Prince Buster.
Sly And Robbie.
Black Uhuru.
Matisyahu.

Culture

Get a compilation of Toots and The Maytals and bathe in its glory.

I agree with the ones said, plus:

Easy Star All-Stars
King Tubby
Yellowman

Beleive it or not theres a lot more than just Marley out there.

Also there are many sub genres of reggae which you may like even more. For example i am a big fan of rock-reggae (lately Matisyahu and Rebelution) Or maybe you like roots reggae...its up to you.

Also try:

Misty In Roots. A particular fave of John Peel's.

This is my fav reggae song YouTube - Black Uhuru - Thievery Corporation (Quality Beats)
I've been getting the box sets by Trojan with many different famous reggae artists. They are prob a good place to start looking. The Dub and Ganja reggae ones are dank.

Perfect excuse to hijack a thread!
