I don't know shit about reggae, but I'm interested in it. I'm fairly certain that I like it judging from the little that I've heard, but I don't know where to start. I'll assume that Bob Marley is a good place to start, eh? I figured I could buy a compilation, but I'd really rather not. Could somebody give some pointers? What's a good album for a complete beginner?

Maybe some advice from canikickit or rastafari, eh?

Bite the bullet and buy the Marley box set "Songs of Freedom" :)

It's a nice mix of Bob's early stuff and the later more commercial stuff. It's a 4 disc set.

I'm also a huge fan of Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer. I recommend Peter Tosh's "Legalize It" or "Equal Rights" and/or Bunny Wailers "Liberation".

Early Jimmy Cliff is also quite good in my opinion.

I would suggest Steel Pulse, it's quite old school reggae. And a good place to start if you like it. Personally I think reggae has a tendency to become quite boring.

Not a big fan of reggae but I did enjoy 'Legalize It". I had a listen while I was donkey punching Doug's wife.

First off Victor, if you're looking to get into serious reggae, you should look at Bob Marley as just a introduction. Bob Marley was a genius, but most of his stuff after Catch A Fire was really watered down, kind of poppy. Which is fine, but there is alot more to reggae than that.

Start with Bob Marley and Peter Tosh. Try and get Tosh's first couple solo albums, Legalize It (the whole album, not the song) is classic. As for Bob Marley, just get whatever, maybe some of his greatest hits stuff or a box set.

Now, it's hard to reccomend someone other reggae without knowing what they like. There are alot of different styles and for me it was a progression, first I only liked old ska, then roots stuff, then dub. Now I listen to all of it. My point is that there are alot of styles, styles within styles, of reggae, so if you don't like something try something else.
I'm going to list a bunch of songs I like that should be easy to find on Kazaa or something like that.

Peter Tosh- The Poor Man Feel It (you'll like this one), Ketchy Shuby, Equal Rights, Brand New Second Hand, African

Mighty Diamonds- Jah Jah Bless The Dreadlocks, Them Never Love Poor Marcus, I'm Hurting Inside

Max Romeo-Wet Dream, Iron Shirt, Rent Man

Heptones-Cool Rasta, Mr President

Lee Perry- Groovy Situation, Dreadlocks in Moonlight, Chase the Devil

Well, these seem to be easy to find on Kazaa, I can't find much on there.

First off Victor, if you're looking to get into serious reggae, you should look at Bob Marley as just a introduction.

That's pretty much what I figured. And of course, I've heard a little bit of his stuff here and there. So I was just wondering what was a good album to begin with.

I don't have kazaa, nor am I very interested in getting it. The music tends have pretty crummy sound quality due to the compression and I always end up with an ass-load of spyware and adware.

And I don't really want a best-of disc and I don't think I can afford a box-set. Those things are incredibly expensive.

But thanks for the info and advice, fellas.

Hmm, actually I have one of bob marleys 'Best of' CDs and I think its brilliant!. However, if you don't want that, then I recomend his album "Natural Mystic", very good stuff.
