Who do you think is the best reggae artist, and what is his (or her... I don't really know of that many female reggae singers) best album? I want to get my friend a reggae CD but I don't really know which one to get. If you can think of a good artist OTHER THAN BOB MARLEY, please let me know! I'm just saying other than Bob Marley because I already know he's amazing, and I'm trying to widen my horizons.
Thanks a bunch!

Barrington Levy-This is Crucial Reggae (my personal all time fav)
Damian Marley-Jr. Gong
Burning Spear-Best Of

I'm with mr.dp on this: Peter Tosh
If I can't listen to Bob Marley while stranded on an island and I had to pick another reggae artist it would have to be Peter Tosh.
Also, Inner Circle are cool, check out their song "Forward Jah Jah Children"
