Seems like the only thing the younger generation know when you ask them about reggae music, are the artists who came to the scene in after 2000, when the music became highly saturated with garbage. So let's play a nice little game to introduce some of the younger people to some of the forgotten gems. It's simple, will make your post in the following format: Artist Name 1. Song Title / Link to listen or preview 2. Song Title / Link to listen or preview Rules: 1. It cannot be anything new and it can only be Ska / Rocksteady / Reggae / Dub. 2. You cannot list a song someone else already listed. If you're wondering why "dancehall" isn't on this list, its because I don't consider it a genre, it is a place where people go to dance. Important: You are only allowed to create only one post and update it with any other entries you may wish to add.
