[Slightly Stoopid]

In the past ..I've downloaded podcasts..
Dubsession ... long sets .. most well over an hour long (abit "chatty" ) .. ton's of variety
with tracklistings http://www.dubsession.com/
& Big Mikey Dread

[Slightly Stoopid]

DubXanne-
Police In Dub

worth a listen ..

[Rumpolephoreskin]

I just re-read the thread and Dave and Ansell Collins - Double Barrel - is another great old reggae tune, that's often overlooked.

Don't leave out some newer up & coming Calif./US based bands ..
not true roots .. but .. Killar none the less
The Aggrolites/John Browns Body/Trbal Seeds/Stick Figure - (very chilled )
10 Ft. Ganja Plant ..
& (of course) my name sake band ... Slightly Stoopid (Top of the World ) CD

These are all great bands! The Aggrolites remind me alot of the Motown sound that I used to hear around the house growing up. The rest of the bands I heard when driving in my son's car and he plays them on his Iphone.

& the Aggrolites are an EXCELLENT band to see live ...
as they play alot of smaller venues..without having to take out a second mortgage
who doesn't love a little "Dirty Reggae"
... big fan of the Easy Star All-stars.. Dub side of the Moon (gotta watch the Wizzard of Oz to this one )
& The Lonely Hearts Dub Band
new release ..Thrilla ( not so much )

[BIG SHINY n Rootsy]

Great thread!
Looks like I got a lot of new music to check out.
(I have heard SS a few times and thought they were pretty cool)

How about another couple of older roots reggae -- Half Pint and Super Cat

[Slightly Stoopid]

Sometimes I find Reggae remakes a tad cheesey .. ( let's face it ..most remakes) (regardless of genres)
But these tracks are blazin' ..
Wayne Wade's version of Lady ..
& The Pioneers version of Papa Was A Rollin' Stone

[St. Anthony's Kitchen]

Anything by Steal Pulse, Third World, Luciano, Bushman, Warrior King, Ritchie Spice, Burning Spear......
