Default Does anyone listen to reggae here?

For example Indios Bravos (a Polish reggae-blues-rock fusion). Here's a promotional video to their newest [live] album: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmBCGx5H2_8

Or Gentleman, a German roots reggae performer.

Depends highly on my mood, but only the rootsy stuff most of the time.

The Congos, Peter Tosh, Burning Spear, The Gladiators, Black Uhuru, Lee Perry, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Toots and the Maytals...you get the drift! The sheer vastness of reggae out there from the late 60s to the 70s/early 80s is enough to last anyone for a lifetime.

Yup, there's plenty of it. I used to collect Lee Perry CDs, especially those from the Black Ark, but a change in lifestyle (ahem!) occurred & now I'd rather hear ska for its simple feel-good vibe. There's a lot of the to be found too, but be sure to buy the original 1960s Jamaican style.

How about Max Romeo? He has worked with Perry.

I like Reggae - I know it is well obvious to say Marley cos I don't have any other reggae in my collection but I do have a lot of Bob's music and I really like it.

I listen to reggae very occasionally. As jai (oh, the puns I could make here, with one fewer letter) said, I enjoy some Bob Marley- and have a twin-CD set of his major stuff.

I also like Shinehead's The Real Rock- but more for the lyrics than the music.

Oh, the lyrics are great in roots reggae music and popular music in general. I love Indios Bravos (reggae-rock-blues fusion from my country [Poland]) and Muse for the lyrics.

The former for the touching, spiritual experience it gives me (it can actually make one cry), the latter for the Orwell inspiration (the lyrics are rather abstract).

Yeah I listen to reggae. Bob Marley and Jimmy Cliff currently. I'm hoping to look into others later.

I've never ventured much further than Bob Marley, Toots and the Maytals and Augustus Pablo (who I guess is technically dub), but I like what I've heard. I think I prefer straight reggae to dub (most of which sounds the same to me). I try picking up some reggae albums whenever I get the opportunity to look in the Rough Trade shop in London, but it's really difficult to know where to start.

You can start here: http://wsm.serpent.pl/sklep/albumik....,Indios-Bravos

This is a Polish online music shop (it sells jazz, classical, blues, rock, reggae and many other genres). Right now their English counterpart is offline, but you can still listen to the samples of the songs (I can upload the full song when you find it good).

I can recommend Jah Mali, Max Romeo, Jr Gong (aka Damian Marley), Gentleman, Fantan Mojah and Culcha Candela.

I like the roots reggae stuff, but I have to admit that my guilty pleasures in Jamaican music are ska and rocksteady. It's interesting to hear how they took definite U.S. rock and roll influences, from doo wop to R&B to soul, and added that Jamaican off-beat to create something new.
