All of you guys, stop what you're doing and find some shit from the Ethiopians. They are the most underrated reggae band ever.

Aside from that:

Alton Ellis
The Heptones
Derrick Morgan
Desmond Dekker
The Mighty Diamonds
Johnny Clarke
Johnny Osbourne
Big Youth
Kind Tubby
Lee Perry
The Upsetters
The Abbisynians (sp?)
The Congos
And on
And on
And on

You guys are nuts with your heavy roots reggea.

I'll give Burning Spear credit, but the real Reggea is hardcore dancehall.

Bounty Killah
Beenie Man
Elephant Man
Chaka Demus & Pliers (Murder She wrote)
Spragga Benz

That's the new reggea right there.

Um, The Specials were from England and blended Punk and Rocksteady.

If you enjoy Capleton and Sizzla, you should definitely check out "Street Knowledge," the new CD from Anthony B. Outstanding.

Dancehall pushed Reggea to that top! It's for dancing to for the love of Allah!

I'll kill you, Umoja.


That Rasta-Reggea is for OG Rastas and Suburban white kids who smoke weed.....

What a horrible thing to say; 75% of the music I listen to is "rasta reggae", and I'm neither and Original Gangster rasta, nor a Suburban kid.
Umoja

Blah... your an OG Rasta at heart Dodoman!
El Brujo

The Congo's
Desmond Dekker
Symaryp
EEK-a-mouse
UB40
Todos Tus Muertos (some reggae tracks)

You fuckers depress me so much.

First off, stop listing UB40. Like them if you must, but don't try to claim that watered down SHIT is reggae.

Umoja, Your comments are offending me and pissing me off. Did you actually just try to claim that I'm either a OG rasta or a suburban white kid if I listen to reggae ? Are you dead fucking serious ? Nice generalization, here's one for you, anyone that listens to Hip Hop is either a black thugged out murdering gangster or a white suburban kid. Not so fun anymore, is it ?

Dancehall is not reggae it's DANCEHALL. They don't use instruments, they use drum machines and synthasizers. THey rap, they don't sing. I honestly don't understand how people mistake that for reggae. Being a jamaican muscian doesn't automatically mean you're a reggae artist.

The Specials were second wave ska, close to reggae, but not close enough.

Anyone that claims that dancehall is not reggae needs to educate themselves about Jamaican music.

The ignorance displayed on this board is astounding.

Urban Rubble, I said Roots Reggea which I generally take to mean Rasta Reggea.
Urban Rubble
7th July 2003, 05:48
Reggaetrain, trust me, I know all about Jamaican music. I didn't really mean dancehall wasn't reggae, of course it's a form of reggae but to say it's "real" reggae wouldn't be true. I'm not sure if that "ignorant" comment was directed at me, but if it was I'd be glad to answer any question you can quiz me on about Jamaican music.

Umoja, I understand what you meant, my comments still stand.

Okay then UR, I'm not gonna make this into a big fight, and I'll say "You are an exception to the stupid Umoja rule of Reggae".
Urban Rubble
8th July 2003, 02:32
I wasn't trying to make it a big fight, I just really hate generalizations, really bad. Anyway, I think your rule is actually pretty wrong.
