Hell yeah. Roots, Lovers Rock, especially old Ska and some of the 80s and 90s shit too.
I especially like reggae cover songs, they always bring out some truly original and funky sounds.
Like Easy All Star's "Radiodread" and the recent "Lonely Hearts Dub Band" and this other cd El told me about ages ages ago called "Mellowdubmarine" and the Trojan Records boxed sets like Jamaican R&B and Sixties. Awesome stuff. Oh!! And theme things like "Suckerpunch" which is all these great reggae songs about boxing, that Jeff loaned me awhile ago. Killer songs on there and way fun.
I been into that since the same time I got into punk in the late 70's in high school.
The radio DJ who introduced punk music on his radio show back then also started playing old 60s tunes and reggae and ska all at the same time. Thank you Rodney Bingenheimer. And during the 80's my sister and I used to go every year to the Bob Marley Day festivals, they were always at some school or universities baseball or football field, with people selling stuff on the side. The very first one I went to I think was in 1980 or 82, and they actually held the reggae show in the grass field behind the Federal building in Westwood. It was fun, lots of older rastas, and some old ladies and really young punk bald chicks were sitting with us on the grass. So much fun what a trip that was. Maaaan so many great live artists, Joe Higgs, Dominic, Yellowman (we took my mom to that one, HILARIOUS, and she enjoyed his show a lot), Mutabaruka, and I remember at the festivals, most of them had to announce "so and so is delayed at LAX in customs, he'll arrive later." Wonder what for. ;) I love watching that show VTV on that Link TV station too. Some times they got some trippy gems of newer artists.
Even that one guy who calls himself Mango Seed and does that song "spread the message, make them discuss, make them discuss" about Marcus Garvey.
Right now I am heavy on ska in my head, that's pretty much all the time very day, with a lot of soul mixed in, northern and detroit etc etc. Fashionfreak......you and other ska heads on here need to see the band Hepcat live. They are FUNKY and GREAT in a live show. I highly recommend them.........also the Aggrolites, the Bullets. Also excellent but the first band I mentioned is tops! I have a bunch of old ska music on cds and some newer stuff too.
And you know I'm just drowning in reggae in my collection too. Gotta admit that!! Ken Boothe, oh wait.........guess who is gonna be out here live in concert with that sweet singing voice in a month? Barrington Levy!!

I love dub, dancehall, ragga, roots, ska. Lee Perry is one of my biggest influences remixing wise.

Actually, Dancehall has been around longer than rap. Really, a lot of elements of hip-hop come out of Jamaican DJ'ing and Jamaican toasting.
momowilly said:to be fair, Dancehall has always mimicked what was poppin in hip hop. Elephant Man's entire career is based on rap music!
