Ridiculous

I love reggae but recently I've been liking some "not-quite-reggae" songs, stuff with a little more than the "guitar strum rhythm", and a good (faster) vibe. Like THALL or DELORME stuff ya know?

Shaggy - Boombastic
Damian Marley - Welcome to Jamrock (hip-hoppy)
Capleton - Prophet Rides Again (has a nice hip-hop beat)(yeah Delorme)

ALSO (different genre):
Demarco - Standing Soldier (also Delorme)(not at all reggae, it's dancehall or ragga. But it's got a slower beat and is less "dancy" than most dancehall, which I definitely like)
Demarco - Duppy Know Who Fi Frighten (I just like the Jamaican, the "less dancy dancehall")

I know there's like a bajillion music threads but hey any recommendations out there guys? You guys are my Pandora haha. Thanks a bunch, peace out :)

I would TOTALLY second that. Add Rootdown, Close Enough, and Ballyhoo.

I'm just lookin for a new sound and a new vibe. I always am.

Ummmmm are you forgetting a certain guy that goes by the name of Bob? You know, the real king of reggae, Mr. Marley.

I've been listening to Gentleman for a while now and I really like it: strong reggae feel but more kinda pop and good beat. Not quite the music to shred to though, I think.
