Non-Obvious Reggae
 

Can anyone name some reggae tracks that are not done by the obvious greats? i.e. I've got enough Bob Marley under my belt, I suppose the Wailers falls into the exact same category...

I want some reggae that comes from a less obvious artist.

I've already thought of Walking On The Moon by the Police, which is a nice obscure bit of reggae sound, anyone got anything else?

Got these from youtube I don't know who is reggae tho.

Check out Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Burning Spear, Third World, Jimmy Cliff, Black Uhuru, Lee Perry. That's the classic raggae ish without a doubt. If you're lookin for newer stuff, lemme know.

Fuck, forgot about Black Uhuru... Yeah, that's the exact ball-pack I'm looking for, some proper raw stuff, almost underground.

And @PheoNix, thanks for the research but I definitely wouldn't call any of that reggae, haha.

Beenie Man
Chaka Demus and Pliers
Eek-a-Mouse
Dennis Brown
Ninjaman
Mr. Vegas
Barrington Levy
Elephant Man
Vybz Kartel

and those are just the people i fuck with from SR2 haha they got some bangers though.

Barrington Levy was your best suggestion. I just found Dennis Brown on my ipod too. Man, I have too much music on here...

Oh, and fuck Vybz Kartel.

Haha no problem. I don't know what is reggae tho lol.

^ Whatt.? Damn B

He knows the blues though, so that's good enough. :p

Vit: If you're still on that Reggae trip, might wanna check out Sly & Robbie, King Yellowman, Joseph Hill Culture, Steel Pulse, Gregory Isaacs, Marcia Griffiths. Some abstract stuff in there, along with some really sweet reggae tracks. Definitely worth the time.
