#1 Reggae.
I've been listening to some Bob Marley toones on You-tube today.
As Reggae is new to me any suggestions of other artists, or favourite songs ?

Proceed with Caution!
This former successful City Gent listened to ONE Bob Marley song.
Look what happened......
Back to Doris Day for you 'Pop's.....Quick!....... before it too late!
Is it reggae-tinged with vocals you like? If so the Marley album 'Legend' is a good start. It's a 'best of'. You'll (hopefully) know just about every track on it I reckon.
Beyond that, there's a wealth of subsonic fun lurking in that genre.
Sit down, lets have chat anna schmoke an' ting......... too (h)early for a Red Stripe?

I've had a very varied (and interesting) morning on You-tube.
It's led me lots of different ways, and now I've switched the main system on for some more "nostalgia", starting with a double LP of the Moody Blues.

Come on Dave. If it's Bob Marley you're talking , let's get serious and start with 'Catch a Fire' and 'Burnin' . The early band was the best . Pete Tosh and Bunny Livingston were the best backing singers EVER .Dave the bass wrote:Is it reggae-tinged with vocals you like? If so the Marley album 'Legend' is a good start. It's a 'best of'.

There's a really great collection of Trojan Records singles on CD , from the 'Tighten Up' collections from the early 70's . Classics like 'Blood and Fire' by Niney, and 'Here I am Baby' by Al Brown .
I keep it constantly in the car, indispensable .
I really like the roots reggae stuff from 68 to 73 , but there's quite a following for the later UK stuff like Steel Pulse .
Oh, Toots and the Maytals are great , from the early days . Get out a copy of 'The Harder they Come' on video , that's a fab piece of film .

Phil's got 'Catch a Fire.'
I reckon 'Legend' is a good starting point for someone new to ReggyRejjy.
Sure, I could send him a 15 CD box set of Ragamauffin' an Scientists classic dub platters but I'm trying to not scare him off straight away

Yes I must remember that some people are scared by music - for example, people who are not Captain Beefheart fans .

Nice work AW .
I think I'm a Roots man at heart .
From the Trojan collection, I'm on the lookout for Al Brown ( 'Here I am Baby' ) and Niney ( and friends ) ( ' Blood and Fire' ) .
