Steel Pulse
Third World

American Style Reggae:
Bob Marley
Peter Tosh

Modern/Hybrid Reggae:
Sublime
Slightly Stoopid
Damien Marley
Stephen Marley
Stick Figure
Easy Star All Stars ('Dub Side of the Moon' will blow your mind)

Imo Steel pulse is one of the goats. Most of their music is absolute classic.

There's so many genres just start listening bruddah. Personally I'm really into dub reggae atm (sly and robbie) but always down for some roots (Burning Spear), dance hall (yellowman, buju banton etc), scat (eek a mouse) and sum real og shit (Chronicle)



Oh and always remember to say "one love" at the end of every sentence, especially in job interviews.
