I like all the artists mentioned so far. Also love Dennis Brown. "Rain from the Skies" and "Wolves and Leopards" are a couple of great ones!
I love all the classic artists mentioned but there is a lot of really good newer reggae music also. Morgan Heritage, Luciano, Tarrus Riley, Etana, Queen Ifrica, Gyptian, Protoje, I-Wayne and on and on. Enough with the slackness, good music and conscious message are returning to the reggae mainstream!

Third World , for sure.

Right now some of my faves that are keeping the vibe real with no slackness as mentioned before are chronixx!!, kabaka pyramid, protoje (check di new album), Kali blaxx, plus too many to name.. Pressure buds pipe, ras attitude, ras batch, and ziggi recado!! I love reggae music.. Don't forget to check romain Virgo for the reggae revival keep it coming
