I recently had to replace my computer and therefore rebuild my ipod library. I spent yesterday on Limewire mass downloading reggea and other music. What I'm looking for from you fine people is your take on great reggea. Please, don't hesitate to list some of your favorite songs and artists, new and old skool, I love it all.
I have approx 600 or so reggea songs in my library thus far, but I am still not satisfied. I know I'm missing some crucial reggea. So, I'm sure I'll get some good answers on this but my 10 pts are going to the person who suggests those rare must have songs. Don't even bother mentioning any songs from Marley affialiates or songs that are obviously in my library already.
Also, don't bother including links to other sites with answers like, "Check out {link here} for good reggea suggestions", OK? I want your personal opinion, I don't need help searching the web for reggea. So, GO WILD!!

it ought to no longer be fairly reggae or ska like the super marley or elegant, yet once you like the lryics and such then i strongly propose Nujabes. it quite is a mor rap like music with lots of instrumental songs even though it has its similarities to the comfortable sounds of reggae and ska.
