My fiance likes it. I've always been pretty much ambivalent about it. Give me some pointers as to what's good and what to avoid please. The only ones I can even think of are UB40 and Bob Marley, and that Jewish guy.

more mainstream type stuff:

steel pulse: true democracy

Black Uhuru: guess who's coming to dinner

are both pretty good.

the Harder they COme soundtrack is a safe bet.

more political stuff: Linton Kwesi Johnson is the shizz

dub: Lee Scratch Perry

If you can find the Dynamite series (100% Dynamite, 200% Dynamite, etc.) on the British label Souljazz Records, that's the way I'd go. Especially the 300% album. It's the best comp ever!

Black Uhuru, Burning Spear, Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff, Barrington Levi, Ziggy Marley, Bob Marley, and early pre-Cops Inner Circle for starters.

There's also Mad Lion, and Mad Cobra among others. I'll have to dig through my cassettes to give you a few more names.

I don't know if they're good or not, but they play reggae and they're from Tulsa.

Legalize it – don't criticize it

Peter Tosh is a must. Yellowman has some interesting stuff, and throws in a bunch of crap as a bonus. Still, the good stuff makes it worth it.

None of the above as far as I can tell, of course she has limited knowledge of my sordid past, fortunately.:D
