Gregory Isaacs
Third World
EEK a mouse
sly and robbie
Peter Tosh
Burnin Spear
Toots and the maytals

I love Gregory and Tosh. And obviously Bob . Do you like Supercat?

The film Rockers is a seminal document of the genre.

I got to see Jimmy Cliff at a Caribbean music festival in DC last year and it was quite the experience. He's remarkably vital and joyous in his old age,

Nice to see people here also listen to this fantastic but often underestimated music a quick list of some of my favorites (I tend to like older stuff) Lee Perry Horace Andy The Heptones Johnny Osbourne Junior Syles Marcia Griffiths Groundation Capleton Derrick Harriott OHHH, and believe it or not, the Icelandic group Hjálmar makes some fantastic reggae (lightly mixed with tunes from traditional folk-music http://www.myspace.com/hjalmarmusic )

I was talking to an ATLian who lives in Hartford now, who thought all the Jamaicans were African...lol Not the biggest mistake in the world but I'm sure ATL has a reasonable amount of Yardies.

I like Buju Banton as well as a lot of others that have been mentioned above.

Was just listening to Movado and Bounty Killer. Love Bounty Killer.

Pretty much limited to the basics, but love Bob Marley, Toots and Jimmy Cliff.
