Am i the only one(yes i am) who listens to the best reggae waliking down Camden or Notting Hill?Can't name the stuff but it kicks arse.

'Ackney was very good for reggae being everywhere. Although Grime or Bhanghra (sp?) from cars was also quite popular.

Augustus Pablo not been mentioned yet? 70s Lee 'scratch' Perry? Prince Buster? Yellowman? Buju Banton? Sizzla? Lady Saw? Skatalites?

What sort of reggae are you after? I'm no authority, but there's a good four or five distinct eras with oodles of artists in each.

TheDom · 01.13.2007, 10:56 PM

Yo, thanks guys.

I already have the Big Youth and The Harder They Come soundtrack.

thanks for the Black Uhuru recommendation, I've been wondering which one of theirs to get first.

I'm into more of the roots stuff, like the Abyssinians, so more of that. & a good intro to some dub would be nice.

& don't just throw names out there, try narrowing it down to an album or something so I get the best of the best.

sun city girl · 01.14.2007, 06:47 AM

most blood and fire releases i've heard are great.

also try lee 'scratch' perry.

sun city girl · 01.14.2007, 06:48 AM

oh you mean specific albums?

the congos - heart of the congos
lee perry and friends - public jestering
niney and friends - blood and fire
king tubby - king tubby's special

Rob Instigator · 01.14.2007, 05:59 PM

Inhuman · 01.15.2007, 02:02 PM

Anything by the following is good in regards to reggae/dub:
Big Youth
Blach Uhuru
Lee Scratch Perry
Prince Alla (my personal favorite)
King Tubby
Roots Manuva (a good segway into it if you like hip-hop)
Junior Reid (Embrace yourself for some connections if you like the rapper The Game)

Rob Instigator · 01.15.2007, 02:50 PM

DO NOT GET MATISYAHU

Rob Instigator · 01.15.2007, 02:50 PM

No way man, their "reggae/dub" tracks on the self-titled album and Rock For Light are great.....especially Rock For Light.

He is utterly shit, isn't he? Annoys the fuck out of me that there are about four million better toasters than him, and he gets the record sales based on novelty.
