i love my old reggae. bob marley and such. ub40. inner circle etc.
but still.....reggae has moved to a new style that i dont really like.
give me old school bob marley anyday.
Hey iwannarock, I too don’t particularly favour all aspects of reggae…but at the same time, you can’t just ignore that they still exist and are a part of reggae, right? Dancehall…hehe, iwannarock did you notice no one has mentioned Sean Paul as a preferred reggae artist as of yet?...You’ll notice his not on my list
…
I mostly like Ragga, Dub, Soca and old school reggae
To Sean Paul fans no disrespect, but personally I don’t favour his style. However, there is one song…Grindin (remix). He features in this song with a few other reggae artists I think…if anyone knows the exact details, plz do say. The beat, the music in that song is unmistakable…so Sean, u got lucky!
Yeah, im with you on that…old reggae is the best!
Bob Marley…no matter how many reggae artists or versions of reggae come…Bob Marley will always be the JAH of reggae!
By the way, I’m not randomly selecting these reggae artists’ names. That’s why I keep adding. I browse through my reggae and see if the artist is worth naming…Thanx pplz! I remembered a few other names of reggae: Snow, Kymani & Stephen Marley, UB40, Inner Circle, Turbulence, Lexxon & the other guy – forgot his name..oops!

yellow mans - reggae calypso is pretty fun.
This is what I’m talking abouuut! To me, reggae is the most upbeat genre! It’s got a fun vibe to it! It can be laid back, deep and meaningful, or just lively to listen to! Even a mix of these! Also, the style in which they sing is distinctively unique and seriously cool. Jamaicans are cool! I know the definition of cool by teen bops, but I mean cool kewl…

i had dreadlocks for 2 years...........ah those were the days. since i cut them off my giant (takes up a whole wall) bob marley poster looks at me in disgust.
Haha! That’s kewl. I loved dreads till they became a fashion statement!! I still love dreads but to me it’s funny coz dreads, the rasta band/beads (Green, Yellow & Red), reggae, the Jamaican accent all this is a nice package…People can have dreads that’s alright but in my eyes I always associate dreads with a Jamaican or a Reggae lover. I don’t mean to be stereotypical but that’s the way I see it. Obviously, there are Jamaicans/reggae lovers who do not need to make an outward appearance to show they are in to this music or rasta culture. Either way, it’s harmless. There is no wrong in having dreads and not being a reggae lover. I told you it’s just my thoughts, my two cents
WOW! A giant wall sized Marley Poster! Reespek!!! Wouldn’t that be a bit overwhelming at times? I guess a positive feeling though! I mean such a legend in a picture that size would be quite inspirational
…I don’t blame you if you felt as though Bob looked at you in disgust…Don’t worry Bob knows you’re a true reggae lover, he loves ya
. I could never have a legend like that in my room, esp. that size! Maybe in a common room like the rumpus, hall or living but daymm that’s still awesome!
Sorry pplz, juz a few corrections…
I said Soca was a type of reggae - which it is – but more accurately said, Soca is islander music – Caribbean style! Even more specifically, TnT style!! Trinidad & Tobago…Anyone heard “Sweet Sweet TnT”? This is what made me fall in love with Soca! I felt the pride in being a Trinidad! Hehe, only way I can really relate is that my native country is an island – far from Australia and really far from the Caribbean
. Soca takes many of its attributes from reggae, hence the idea of it being considered reggae.
Mike iE…your right! Ska can be classified as reggae but more importantly hailed as a forefather! Ska existed before reggae, Ska contributed to the creation of reggae. This is what I found out. Hehee…enter a real Jamaican or reggaer and I’ll get taxed if I’m wrong! Hey, I tried my best!
Peace out…
