Here’s a more recent hit (probably more dancehall than reggae per se):
This is really good too, mostly instrumental: And this one:Of course when it comes to Reggae, Toots and the Maytals are the best, but **The Aggrolites **are a real fun group that I’ve only recently discovered. Here’s Pop the Trunk.
Awful lot of “not Reggae” in this thread.
The OP started out with Billy Joel, so yeah.
Let’s hear your tunes, eh?
I’m not sure what the title is, but it’s the one with the heavy bass and steady rhythm guitar on the offbeat.
More on that (starting at 3:30):
I dunno, me and others have gone out their way to help you out, and you post another Billy Joel thing. What is the fucking point, really.
Some of my favorite Reggae:
Gone Already- Albert Griffiths and the Gladiators
Rastafari Liveth- Peter Broggs
Queen of the Mountain- Burning Spear
Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner- Black Uhuru
Sugar Daddy- Michigan & Smiley
All available on Real Authentic Sound and Ryko.
I once saw Black Uhuru, for what seemed like several days, because
My first thought was Dred Zeppelin’s “Black Dog,” but the whole album is a scream.
I like the reggae part of this NatLamp tune.
The Easy Star All-Stars have done a few whole-album covers. The only one that works for me is their Dub Side of the Moon, but they’ve done a couple of others: OK Computer and Sergeant Pepper’s Hearts Club band. It’s a revolving door project, Toots and the Maytals did some of Radiodread, for example.
Like I said before. That was … different.
My favorite from Toots and the Maytals is Sweet and Dandy.
I hear ya. I went to a one-night Reggae Festival that seems to go on for a couple of weeks.
To be honest you could just put any Toots & Maytals song here really for me. But some others I like -
Max Romeo - Chase the devil
