I dont really get reggae, I grew up in a housing estate in Northern Ireland, dancehall and ragga always seemed to suit me. Why do people listen to Florence and the Machine when Cutty Ranks exists.

Too late for edit. Babylon is well worth watching, the Rebel MC must have had it on repeat through the 80's. Heres the end to ruin it for ya'll, last 4 minutes or so are a treat.

TOOTS AND THE FUCKING MAYTALS

Amen to that.

I was actually pretty dissapointed with the Congo's album when I bought it. I dont think dub reggae is really my bag.

They may be classed as Ska rather than Reggae but The Skatalites are fantastic. Guns Of Navarone is one of my favourite songs of all time
