Best dancehall music according to redditors

I can vouch that it's a well-done release. Double gatefold is really nice. Her first album Arular (another 2xLP double gatefold) is also $13.98 on Amazon

I am no primer on reggae but if I had to choose five at this moment they would be "East of the River Nile"-Augustus Pablo, "Heart of the Congos"-The Congo's, "Hebron Gate"-Groundation, "True Democracy"-Steel Pulse, and only because you said I can skip Bob Marley your probably familiar with Peter Tosh too "Ras Mek Peace"-Midnite. If your not familiar with Tosh though as five I would put his "Equal Rights" album. Though if you are just looking to get into reggae more another thing you can do is pick up one of the Trojan Anthologies. They have multi-disc sets of different types of reggae, from dub to roots to real spiritual stuff. They are a good place to start, provide a bunch of diverse artists from the very well known to the more underground and give a nice little foot in the door into the world of reggae. Trojan Roots Set to help understand more what i am talking about. Hope this helps man and hope you dig the tunes!

Do you mean Andre? If you do, here's the soundtrack on Amazon that probably includes the song you're looking for. They have short previews of all the songs so you could quickly check.

What /u/pilvy said. Also, get your your hands on the Trojan Roots Box Set.

I also love the reggae album of dead songs. It's called "Fire on the Mountain" and can be found here...

I am just a huge fan of reggae music but I think the casual fan could ejoy it too.

The Toyes- Smoke 2 Joints (Sublime Covered it)

Brewer and Shipley- One Toke Over the Line

Those 2 came to mind, but if you like weed reggae you should check out The Trojan Ganja Reggae Box Set

For a good overview of 90s dancehall, I recommend this compilation. It's got a ton of pretty untouchable dancehall classics: 'Murder She Wrote', 'Sleng Teng', 'One Blood', 'Benz & The Bimma'.

Excuse the excess I just didnt wanna be presumptious and post one thing that was too pricey lol if it needs to be something smaller all the patches in my WL are almost sold out lol anyways thanks for the oppurtunity its a great idea.

I don't go super deep into reggae but I've put a lot of miles on these two albums:

Toots & the Maytals 20th Century Masters

and

Damian Marley's Welcome to Jamrock

"Fire on the Mountain Reggae Celebrates The Grateful Dead" is a pretty good one.
http://www.amazon.com/Fire-On-The-Mountain-Celebrates/dp/B000000NXD

These ones:
Fire on the Mountain - Vol. 1
Fire on the Mountain - Vol. 2

You have to go full 2004.

yep. Tougher than tough: The story of Jamaican Music

anything on this album

Three discs of old-school reggae christmas!

We need to go deeper.

http://www.amazon.com/12-Inches-Snow/dp/B000002JQ0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322792497&sr=8-1...

Track down a copy of Tougher than Tough - The Story of Jamaican Music

I would probably recommend some kind of collection so you can figure out what parts of the genre you find most interesting. This is a good start.

When you find the style or kind of artist you like you can go on from there and dig deeper. Happy listening!

Reggae:

the entire compilation "Studio One Rockers". I can't think of any music that's easier to get into than this.

The Story of Jamaican Music.... it's a 4-disc set spanning 34 years, but over time I went from being indifferent to loving almost every song to death.

Check out the CD In Full Bloom by Square One, specifically tracks 3 though 11.

Also Byron Lee & The Dragonaires have a Buch of great albums, Soca Butterfly and Soca Frenzy being my favorites.
