Title: Advice me on good reggea
Post by: Arrrhalomynn on August 17, 2004, 02:03:01 PM
I'd like to listen to some good reggea, but I don't know what's good. I downloaded some songs that were covered by other bands; pressure drop, police and thieves and the harder they come for example. But I'm out of ideas now.
I don't like the slower weed stuff like bob marly. I'd prefer some faster, more melodic stuff.

Sublime is reggeaish.  I find their stuff to be humorous.  Though, I don't think it would be concidered real reggea because they are all white.  It's worth checkin out anyways!

I know sublime, I even have a real cd of them, but it's not what I'm looking for. I'm lookinger 'purer' raggae. I downloaded some stuff by Jimmy Cliff, and he's pretty good.

LOL at Izret101 for stereotyping his co-workers!

Try  (seriously) "Eek-a-mouse"

also UB40, suprisingly, their first album Baggariddum, is pretty good, everything after that was pants, but the first one is quite good. Particularly Buzz Feelin'

which, if we continue the stereotyping theme, should be right up the Dutch folks street, cos it's about smoking hash.

I wish I could help you out here, but I really can't stand reggae.  97X used to have a reggae show every Sunday morning at 11 AM Eastern Standard, but I'm not sure if they brought it back after the sign-off and re-sign-on as an Internet-only station.  If I find out they do have it back, I'll let you know, because I'm sure they could help you out.

download "eek a mouse" already!

I know it sounds like a stupid made up name, but it isn't, it's good reggae!
