(Part 2) Best raggae music according to redditors

It took me almost 12 years but I finally got around to replacing all the CDs. The last one I had to find was The Ska Parade CD.

What I really miss is that MacAddict CD case. I have no use for it, but I spent good money to get it and loved MacAddict. I'm not even sure if one's available anymore.

Dub Side of the Moon, anyone?

I always remind people that He Lives in You was actually on the alternative Lion King Soundtrack, Rhythm of the Pridelands by Lebo M who put together the African choir for the actual Lion King soundtrack, and yes it was so good it was adopted into future Lion King media :)

Also check out /r/futuregarage, /r/realdubstep, /r/ukbass and maybe /r/futurebeats. I'm happy to recommend more if you like, my real life friends get bored of me trying to make them listen to this stuff.

I'm a huge fan of the Messthetics series (and the other hyped2death compilations, like Homework and Teenline). I haven't met too many people who are also into them! At least half of my 7'' record collection I bought from the guy who runs the label, too.

Nao Wave: Brazilian Post Punk and the Soul Jazz comp The Sexual Life of the Savages

Strange Passion: Explorations in Irish Post Punk DIY and Electronic Music

Fame: Jon Savage's Secret History of Post Punk

Minimal Wave Tapes 1 and 2

Perfect Unpop: Peel Show Hits and Long Lost Lo-Fi Favourites

Rough Trade Shops Post Punk 01 - I had to add this one because it was the compilation that introduced me to everything, ten years ago.

Scared To Get Happy: A Story of Indie Pop 1980-1989 - technically an indie pop compilation, but there's a lot of material that should be interesting to a post punk fan (Wild Swans, Josef K, bIG fLAME, Nightingales)

I'll add more as I think of them! I have a ridiculous amount of post punk compilations lying around.

If you liked that album, then might I suggest Radiodread: Tribute To OK Computer - Easy All-Stars? It's a reggae tribute that actually pulls it off rather well imo.

Did you check Amazon?

It's off the Today's Specials album from 1996. Note that this isn't the "real" Specials; only 4 of the original 7 members were involved with this album (Neville Staple, Lynval Golding, Horace Panter and Roddy Byers). At the time, Jerry Dammers condemned the reformation of the group and this album, calling it "dodgy." But I still liked it.

The whole album consists of covers, including a fantastic cover of Dave Brubeck's "Take Five"; it's worth getting the album for that song alone. There are also some decent Marley covers, and a very good Neil Diamond cover, but their cover of The Clash's "Somebody Got Murdered" is a bit weak.

The Roots of Dubstep is a decent start:

Hey! The album this was off of was "Today's Specials" and it is currently out of print. I don't know if the label went under or if there is a lot of crazy legal rules around it, but that's why it isn't on any MP3 purchase sites. Oddly, while I finally found a listing for it on Amazon, it only came up when I searched for the album name, not as part of the list of albums that the Specials have made/appeared on. Here's a link to get the CD used or pay an exorbitant price for a new one. Hope this helps!

For the Skatalites and original Jamaican ska specifically, there're a lot of excellent Studio One compilations. I like Foundation Ska a lot.

Also check out Stretching Out, the live recording from the Skatalites reunion in early 80s, pretty much the whole original lineup. A lot of accomplished ska musicians point to this album as a huge influence mainly because the recording is so good and you can pick up the rhythm and style a lot better than any of the original studio stuff, which was all mono and generally one mic in a room.

I don't always listen to Radiohead, but when I do it's Radiodread. Actually, I lied. I never listen to Radiohead. Shit is overrated and doesn't belong on the pedestal everyone places it on.

How about we get a new subreddit /RadioheadCircleJerk so we can keep this contained to one pathetic place.

Rough Trade's Post-Punk Comp.

I was pretty bummed out about it.

What's weird is that Pink Floyd seem to be the progenitors of a whole new subgenre of covers: Covers of entire albums. I have three.

• Rebuild the Wall, by Luther Wright and the Wrongs, which is an astonishingly good bluegrass rendition;
  
  
• Dub Side of the Moon, a reggae/dub take on DSOTM. Fun bit: the repeated song starting "Money" is a bong bubbling instead of a cash register.
  
  plus the Lips one.

My 4 year old loves my "Songs of Freedom" Bob Marley box set. He likes 1st CD in the house so that he can dance (Ska, rocksteady, etc) and he likes disc 3 when we're driving so that he can 'relax' It's fascinating watching your kids take your music and run with it. He's also expressed interest in being a rock & roll bagpiper when he grows up.

What should have been my original point is that kids LOVE reggae (and similar) beats. It would take very little time for a kid to get hooked on toots.

https://www.amazon.ca/Songs-Freedom-1962-1980-Bob-Marley/dp/B00002R0MC is what made me go from a fan to a superfan

It was a cassette tape, I believe it was..THIS

First one I ever bought myself was probably SUBLIME

The Peep Show is a sit-com following two flat-mates who are essentially polar opposites, and yet are friends. It follows their antics, and self centered attempts at one upping the other.

I'm not sure. That is a good question, I know Doc Martin is, but the rest I am unsure of. I have Jeeves and Wooster on DVD, and the Mitchell and Webb stuff I watched at a friends house. Oh yeah! I really really want it!
Also here are the links I forgot to do. One and Two.
