This is going to have everything reggae influenced or traditional..........from barrington levy to the Born Jamericans to 311. If you want to add go ahead. This is honestly the funnest music (can't be in a bad mood when listening to it). It's near 4 degrees outside so I decided to brighten up my day and maybe yours with this post. Each post is going to seperated (well until i get really lazy) by genre. This is traditional jamaican born artists. Bob Marley Quote: Robert "Bob" Nesta Marley OM (February 6, 1945 May 11, 1981) was a Jamaican singer, songwriter, guitarist, and activist. He is the most widely known performer of reggae music. Marley is regarded by many as a prophet of the Rastafari movement. Quote: Legend is a greatest hits collection of Bob Marley and the Wailers songs, released by Island records on May 8, 1984 (see 1984 in music). The original compilation, first issued on LP, contains 14 songs in their edited single format. Later it was released on CD with the same listing. It includes 10 of Marley's 11 top 40 U.K. hits at the time, plus three songs from the early configuration of the Wailers with Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston ("Stir It Up," "I Shot the Sheriff," and "Get Up, Stand Up"), and the last song released on Marley's final non-posthumous album Uprising, the fan-favorite "Redemption Song."

As Marley died the following year, Uprising was to become the final studio album to be released during his lifetime. This album is one of Marley's most directly religious, with nearly every song addressing his Rastafarian beliefs, culminating in the acoustic folk classic, "Redemption Song". Quote: 1.

Jamaica's #1 singer of all time, Barrington Levy is a driving force in reggae music and remains the perennial favourite of audiences in Jamaica - and throughout the world. Always a solid voice and a uniquely expressive song style, Barrington is consistently at the forefront of the music scene, and has become the most requested vocalist in reggae music history. ![]() Quote: Though the arrival of Barrington Levy as a force on the Jamaican music scene in the early 1980s slightly predated the advent of dancehall-style reggae, the singer was quick to adopt the new rhythms as his own. Hits such as "Here I Come," with its insistent, herky-jerky rhythm, and "Under Mi Sensi," which spawned a host of soundalikes, quickly followed. Levy's popularity has endured over the years, and his versatility is made apparent on this volume of the CRUCIAL REGGAE series. The disc spans a slice of the singer's '80s output, from the early, career-making hits "Mary Long Tongue," with its classic Sly and Robbie rhythm, and "Prison Oval Rock," where Levy's trademark wail is displayed to its best advantage against a cool, spare production, to the Bounty Killer-accompanied dancehall pop of "Living Dangerously" and the brooding, low-key classic reggae of "Hypocrites."

Tubby's innovative studio work, which saw him elevate the role of record producer to a creative height previously only reserved for composers and musicians, would prove to be highly influential across many genres of popular music. He is often cited as the inventor of the concept of the remix, and so may be seen as a direct antecedent of much dance and electronic music production.

This is a mix CD that skanks and trips through the Trojan back catalogue. There are 45 tracks that make up the 64 minutes of this CD. Madlib claims that this mix was recorded in his basement bomb shelter, and who are we to disbelieve him? There are some lovely tracks on here with a nice variety of styles covered. Artists include Zap Pow, The Vulcans, Trinity, David Issacs, Don Drummond, Price Far I, King Tubby, The Chosen Few, and Mikey Dread. Like all decent DJs/producers, Madlib has a good ear for hooks and picks the best section of each track. Quote: Track Listing 1. Place in the Sun/Fire Corner/Black Man Time -- David Isaacs 2.
