Here are three of the top of my head:

 

Black Uhuru - Red

The Congos - Heart of the Congos

The Upsetters - Super Ape

 

Of these three you have to, at least, get Red.

 

Oh yeah, get the The Harder They Come soundtrack.

I've heard some Black Uhuru, but not sure if I have heard Red.

 

Never heard of the other two but will try to check them out.

I like reggae a lot, but only in small doses... and sometimes while under certain influences.

 

I prefer listening to dub... which originated from reggae. It's a really interesting genre... you guys should check out King Tubby, Scientist, and De Facto.

 

De Facto is actually Cedric and Omar of TMV and At the Drive-in (I think Ikey-Owens plays keys too), so if you're looking to get into dub and like the Volta, De Facto is a good starting point.

Thanks for the King Tubby recommendation!

Ya mon!

 

Burning Spear probably my favorite.

 

If you want to hear a really good raggae record, look for "Dub Side Of The Moon" by The Easy Star All-Stars. It's a re-working of "Dark Side...." (by Floyd of course) and even has instructions in the liner notes on how to synchronize the album to The Wizard Of Oz.

 

It's a great album nonetheless......

No problem, glad you enjoy his music...

 

And thanks to D-Rock for recommending that dub remake of Dark Side... I'm definitely gonna have to check that out.

Yes MDeath, if you can't pick it up at a record store, you should at least be able to order it.

 

My 70 year old uncle turned me on it. He's like the reigning reggae/ganga conniossuer. Lives in Jamaica 4 months a year.

Always brings back great reggae.

The King Tubby is really great stuff.

 

The guys that did the Dub version of Darkside, Easy Star All-Stars also did a reggae version of a Radio Head disc, OK Computer called Radiodread.

Dude, that sucks. I saw the Wailers at the Crystal Ballroom about three years ago. Fun show, even though we didn't get to stay for the whole thing...we left at 2 AM and it was still going.

Until Buckethead breaks some out that is cool10.gif

Aye but Bucket would do an avant-garde fusion version, in that context it could work very nicely...

peter tosh's legalize it (album) is the greatest IMO.

 

It is so "organic". It SOUNDS "humid" and "green" and well,.... Jamaican.

 

and I don't even smoke!
