Bob Marley - grew up listening to Bob Marley & The Wailers and have every album.

Ken Boothe - gorgeous, gorgeous singing. I love 'Just another girl' and 'Crying over you'.

I also like listening to Wailing Souls, Alborosie and Third World ('Now that we found love' is one of my happy songs).

There's heaps I like but I love UB40 the best

Beres Hammond as an individual, Burning Spear, Capleton, Mystic Roots for some of my fave groups, Queen Ifrica and Rita Marley for some of my fave female Reggae artists.
Cheers,
Paul

I voted "other" mostly because there are so many great reggae acts out there I can't choose one.

Bagga and I saw Gregory Isaacs last week. What an amazing show!

Really hard question.
I would have to go for Robert Nesta Marley purley because of the amount of quality music he put out from 1962 until 1981 when he died.
Loved his ska, rock steady, roots & he even penned a few neat poppy tunes that the masses could doo daa dee along to...
His greatest work for me was with Bunny & Peter with Lee Perry at the controls.
