I like this thread.

Jimmy Cliff Crank it up. Real LOUD.

Another classic

The one that I listened to over and over (trying my best to dance like no one was watching)

Oh, great, now I have to go dig out the cds. No sleep tonight.

I was like "where's AZTheta?! There she is!!!" I love Jimmy Cliff.

Let the record show, AZTheta was the first to post Bob Marley. I had promised myself not to post Bob Marley, The Wailers, and Peter Tosh until the fourth post.

How dare you have reggae CDs stashed away collecting dust!

AH! you beat me to it! I was just listening to Pressure Drop! And you might remember that I saw Jimmy Cliff here year before last and you hated me for that.

Looking for Burning Spear - the Marcus Garvey album that I replaced with a cd. It better be in my possession still. My friends were like "What IS that you're listening to?"

If you ever get a chance on a Sunday night, Rasta Riddims is a radio program on KXCI.org. You can listen online. 9-11 pm Arizona time (which half the year is Mountain Standard, the other half is Pacific Daylight. Yes it's confusing.)

Not a regular reggae artist, but an artist I like (and one who is very easy on the eyes)

Michael Franti:Hey now now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9JEo...=RD01FE9cPXE3M

Love everything Bob Marley did, as well as UB40:

Can't help falling in love with you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ajp0U...58AD6224E4725B

Every Breath You Take:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2xAYdTFQzk


And of course, Red, Red Wine
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYQ1lkP1j_g

And Eric Clapton reggaes up "Wonderful Tonight":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiNpAyBuCd0


DrPhil, AZTheta, and Shellfish, thanks for your postings and for expanding my Reggae library!

Is it okay to mix in some Ska? I sort of already did and so did you, DrPhil.

41 Ska Songs:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcoNP...32991FBD9D52CB

9 of the videos were deleted so there are 41 ska songs. The songs autoplay and are also on the right side of the screen if you want to skip.

DrPhil, I am not worried about the tagalongs. Let them sit on their hands, while we dance.

So is this ska? Or reggae? Regardless, I send it to you with a smile and a friendly wave.
