Real reggae music is totally different gravy. Fair enough min. Some genres of music such as reggae, ska and calypso I cannot distinguish between, but as long as the music does the business and provides therapy, that'll do for me. UB40, The Specials, Colourfield.... just some of the bands that were influenced by reggae to some degree and equally as good as each other. Link to comment

Did you Buy a record other than that monstrosity? Nope. They should index the records by artist. Too much of a pain in the arse looking through them all otherwise. Link to comment

Pure and simplistic music with lyrics of meaning. Link to comment
Sooper-hanz Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Only reggae I enjoy is the dub stuff by Lee Scratch Perry,King Tubby etc. Link to comment
Simply Red Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Any of the Studio 1 or Trojan comps are pretty much solid gold if you're looking for reggae. Theyve broken it down into era's and its various categories like RS mentioned. Always thought it was criminal that UB40 got so big and Steel Pulse where left in the shade. Link to comment

Lee Scratch gig in Abz has been cancelled twice now with this covid carry-on. Postponed till March 2021 now. Link to comment

Like I say, I find it difficult to determine what is ska, reggae, and calypso as they seem to have evolved from similar sources, although there is a debate whether ska/reggae originated in Jamaica, Algeria or Aberdeen (@manboobs109 ?).

Loved the Clash. One of my all time favourites. Joe Strummer went awol the day they were going to be playing Fusion in Aberdeen. They did have 'Police and Thieves' on their first album , RS. Anyways.., Sandinista! will be getting an airing this evening. Link to comment

The Nouvelle Vague covers of Clash stuff is so different, so interesting and so good. They turned Guns of Brixton 180 degrees in vibe. Cheers RS, I shall look on Spotify. Link to comment
