    Dennis Brown
    The Congos (you must get Heart of Congos-arguably the best reggae album of all time-anything from lee perry's Black Ark production is ESSENTIAL...this includes the classics Police and Thieves by Junior Murvin and War In Babylon by Max Romeo)
    Garnet Silk
    Bitty Mclean
    Beres Hammond
    Gregory Isaacs
    Tarrus Riley
    Buju Banton's Til Shiloh is a MUST

    I could go on and on-but I'm assuming you are interested in mainly singers not deejays.

    Buju Banton
    Steel Pulse
    John Brown's Body
    Jimmy Cliff

    Pepper, Slightly Stoopid, and Tomorrow's Bad Seeds are all also good but qualify more as surf-punk/raggae

    Yes but an even better movie soundtrack is *ROCKERS* It STILL rocks some 33 years later. You can't get a better assembly of reggae stars in their youth and their prime.

    Ex: Kiddus I...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2GwohNFo6s

    More on the movie and music from the movie above in *ROCKERS*

    4."Books of Rules" (Barry Llewellyn, Harry Johnson) - The Heptones
    5."Stepping Razor" (Joe Higgs) - Peter Tosh
    6."Tenement Yard" (Jacob Miller, Roger Lewis) - Jacob Miller

    [edit] Side two

    I like this list, especially Black Uhuru, Steel Pulse, and Yellowman. I loved Pato Banton too (unti lI saw him live :cry: )...he preached and interrupted every song to talk. It seemed like he didnt complete one song!

    I'd also like to throw in Eek-A-Mouse. Love them.
