The Niggardly King 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2008 Bloody awful musician. To be fair, it's a bloody awful genre. Looks like I'm already starting to regret some of my poster of the year nominations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At Home 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2008 There's some good reggae like Jimmy Cliff and some Wailers, but sometimes it gets too one-track for me. I saw Steel Pulse live one time, and it was just a bunch of old Jamaican fuckers with ultra-long dreds and not a single coherent thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2008 It sounds funny (or doesn't), but I am always down to listen to the select reggae tracks that Bad Brains gave us. Other than that, though... gimme a fair share of marijuana and I'm probably fine with whatever you put on at the time... Any other time, nah. Not really interested.

King Kamala 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2008 Observation; I don't think I've seen anybody here on TSM proclaim themselves to be a reggae fan. Hatred of reggae is the common thread that the music snobs and slobs seem to have here. Like pbone, I really enjoy Jimmy Cliff and some Wailers as well as Toots and The Maytals but the rest of the genre, I could take or leave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2008 Most straight up roots reggae is kinda meh, but Dub and Dancehall and every sub-genre that those two spawned are hot fucking fire. If you're not down with Lee "Scratch" Perry I don't want anything to do with you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henry Spencer 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2009 I quite like Israelites by Desmond Dekkar. Bonus points to Drugstore Cowboy for introducing me to this song, in addition to being a great movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted January 1, 2009 I was always pretty indifferent to reggae, and went on vacation to Jamaica a couple years back. I didn't have a revelation or anything and start to love it, but I did learn something about the genre. The more popular stuff and bands/styles that adopt reggae elements are much better than the underground and local musicians down there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
