Take it from someone who has a Lee Perry avatar. Most of his CD's are mediocre. He was at his best when producing other artists (most notably "Heart Of The Congos" by The Congos and "Party Time" by The Heptones).

Re: Reggae
 

I agree. My favorite is a disc of songs he produced (and a few he also performed on) titled "Reggae Greats."

Re: Reggae
 

Not that I agree, but he was actually very well respected in the jamaican/reggae section of Toronto,ON,CA. [ QUOTE ]

Re: Reggae
 

I'll second the nominations for:

Steel Pulse
Peter Tosh
Toots and the Maytals
Burning Spear


Steel Pulse = awesome stuff.


EDIT: PLus Barrington Levy did some good stuff.

If you're into reggee, i'd reccomend that you also check out some Ska, Dub, and Ragga. Kilgore Trout's ska reccomendations are grett- and if you're not burnt out on bob yet, i'd really encourage you to try and find some of hil older stuff- with peter tosh and bunny wailer, it's an excellent example of the ska to reggee transition.

as for dub, start with King Tubby, the INVENTOR of the remix and live DJ performance (or at least the first popular early practioner). then lee scratch perry, then scientist, by then you'll know what you like and can move on.

Buju Banton and Bounty Killer have some good semi-Ragga stuff worth checking out. Nowadays, i really prefer Ragga to hip hop (it's jamaican sounding MCs rapping on top of breakbeats- notably drum and bass.
as far as that goes, Rocker T is alpha and omega (for a whiteboy, anyway)
