I've recently been getting into reggae music. WHen i'm in the mood I really love it, but do not know many artists. My question is, what are all your favorite reggae artists?
I like bob marley of course, but when i'm in the mood for somehting a little faster I like Sean Paul.
If all of you want a good laugh listen to Matisyahu. He is an orthodox jew who does reggae. I think its funny b/c hes 1/2 descent.
Bob Marley, Toots and the Maytals, Jimmy Cliff, Peter Tosh, Eek-A-mouse.
I personally stay away from Sean Paul. To me, that's not real reggae. but it's good music in it's own right.
You can't have Reggae with out Lee Scratch Perry he is the master of Reggae
switchblade
taj mahal, went fishing with him when i was 7
ziggy marley, he was my first concert...
burning spear, the wailers
list goes on
i totally agree with you. id also have to recomend sublime & slightly stoopid along withthe artists u already mentioned Lee Scratch Perry, King Tubby, Max Romeo & The Upsetters, Peter Tosh, The Skatalites are all very good choicesQuote:

^^well said
dude, if you really want to hear some heavy island music i suggest you check out, buju banton. personally, i like him better than bob marley...in the sense that his music sounds better. i'm not sure yet if his lyrical qualites are as good as bob's - main reason being is his voice is a little difficult to understand.
