reggae

any other reggae fans in here?
ive been getting in it alot lately while im blazed.
discuss some bands

 

bob marley and peter tosh
Two of the best reggae artists to live
great when blazed

 

i like reggae.. i hate dancehall though.. bleh.. fuck that shit

 

i can only listen to reggae when i'm in the reggae mood.
otherwise, i don't like it at all

 

i dig it when i feel like uber-chillin'

bob marley is always a good friend on a long road

i dig me some dub every now and then, even if i am a closet-dancer

 

cant go wrong with smoking a bowl while playing some good ol reggae

 

one of the bartenders at work strictly plays reggae and blues music on the stereo in the restaurant.. we get Digital Music Xpress... the customers dig it..

 

Yup, reggae head here- prefer my dub but still play a lot of reggae...

Big Youth, Gregory Isaacs, U-Roy, Lee Scratch Perry, Max Romeo, Linton Kwesi Johnson are some of my favourites...

 

dub is the shit, you can wake me up for dub anytime, lee scratch perry, king tubby, jah shaka. i love it, its hypnotizing

 

i cant understand a word on most reggae tracks, like i understand 'ol 'erb, and ghanja, and ganstah and the rest is a mystery to me

 

Reaggae

 

Mikey Drrreaad! Dub's also great sometimes, but I'm very selective on reggae and dub stuff, cause it's generally pretty repetitive stuff. Mikey Dread - World war III and Beyond world war III are 2 of my favourite reggae albums. I also love Black Uhuru in dub very much
I like the songs with that nonsense kind of vocalsounds of Eek-a-mouse as well when I'm baked. Excellent chill stuff!

 

I like roots reggae. Marley, Tosh, check out Burning Spear and Culture.

Would you consider this reggae? I would, but I'm interested in hearing other people's opinion. (The Clash- Revolution Rock)

 

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is an awesome movie.

Wes Anderson Rocks! lol

 

Yeah, and if that really is The Clash then I would say that Sublime was influenced by that or something like it. Very cool.

 

ya man the life aquatic is one of my favorite films, and wes anderson is one of the few promising film directors of our time. here's another pseudo- reggae song by the clash off the same album. rudie can't fail!

I like Quentin Tarantino more.

 

Bro, bro, bro, bro.....I love ragga. Hands down my favorite genre of music. Roots rock more specifically. Retro ragga is the best, check out:

The Wailers (Obviously)- please keep in mind that Peter Tosh wrote most of their songs, and actually taught Marley how to play the guitar. I should not be "Bob Marley and the Wailers" it should just be "The Wailers"

Wailing Souls-A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.
Horace Andy
Augustus Pablo- Some of the best dub you'll ever hear
The Skatalites
Gentleman
The Gladiators
The Heptones
Ini Kamoze
Inner Circle
The Itals
Jimmy Cliff
King Tubby- Some more good dub
Lee "scratch" Perry
The Meditations
The Mighty Diamonds
Peter Tosh (solo career)
Steel Pulse
Third World
Toots and the Maytals
Yellowman
Black Uhuru
Culture
Half Pint
Buju Banton
Eek-a-mouse

And that's really only a few of the good artists/bands of the best days of Ragga. Some newer artists/bands that are good are:

John Browns Body
Groundation
Ziggy Marley (Better than Damian and Seteven IMO, as they are much more "newage")
Easy Star All-stars
Julian Marley
Kymani Marley
Long Beach Dub All-stars -many of the old sublime members
Michael Franti and Spearhead
Midnite (sorta older ragga, but still performing)
Mishka
Mysitc Roots
Ooklah The Moc - amazing Hawaiian ragga
Rebelution
Tribal Seeds
Seed
Sizzla (fairly old)
Soldiers of Jah Army (SOJA)

Anyways, there's LOTS more those are just some of my personal favorites that I HIGHLY recommend checking out if you enjoy some quality ragga. It makes me happy to know others are enjoying the good vibes produces by Ragga and if I can help in terms of recommendations or getting you any please let me know.


One love

 

Dood, great choices.

Max Romeo- Babylons burning is a classic.
And who can ever forget Gregory Isaacs "night nurse"....great tribute to MJ
