I started a Reggae Pandora channel about 5 years ago and have been "tuning" it ever since...have found some real jewels on there as my Reggae tastes up to that point were pretty much limited to Bob, Peter and a few others. Now I am huge in to Burning Spear, Lucky Dube, Garnet Silk, Jimmy Cliff, Byron Lee (actually met him after one of his New Years Eve gigs at Sunset Beach in Montego Bay, I ran in to Keith Richards in the Montego Bay airport a few years before that and I think meeting Byron was just as big...one of the true icons of Reggae if you read the history books on the subject). Love, love, love some Toots and the Maytalls and lots of others. One of the best finds I have discovered while not Reggae in the truest sense was Michael Franti (and Spearhead)...his music truly speaks to me. First time I heard him in Jamaica was at the Canoe, sitting there looking back at the beach in Negril having a rum punch and listening to his music as moving to say the least. I couldn't drunk-dial my friends at home on my j-phone fast enough to tell them how much fun I was having.
