I'd be thrilled if anyone out there could advise me on some good ole reggae songs. Nothing too modern and not so much of the commercial stuff. Thank you.

Look in HMV for the box set's of Reggae songs on the Trojan Label. These are about £10 I think but you get 3 cds in the box, and they are normally a compilation of there back catalogue from 1968 to 1973. Give them a try? I have got 2 of these box set's and they bring back so many memories. Yes I remember a lot of them when they were first released. Now I'm showing my age.

Well, I'm assuming you already know Bob Marley's stuff. If you don't, check him out. :)
I'd recommend:
Uncomfortable - Morgan Heritage
Sweat (A la la la Long) - Inner Circle
Games People Play - Inner Circle
They're not old, sorry, but I swear they're good.

Try tracks By ;Black Uhuru,Third world,Big youth,I-roy,U=roy,The Abysinnians,Burning Spear,Toots and the Maytals,Pablo Moses,Dennis Brown,Some powerful roots reggae to touch your soul.
A surprising chioce of mine is the Jah Nuh Dead album by Sinaed O'Conner.She sings backed by Sly and Robbie and covers perfectly traks such as.
Door Peep
Marcus Garvey
Downpresor Man
Vampires
Curly Locks.and more and her rendition of Jah Nuh Dead will have the hairs on your arms standing up.The instrumental backing on this album is second to none.

bob marley's a good place to start. also there's this band called Matisyahu that I really enjoy. Its this jewish guy but they make wicked reggae songs that arent TOO reggae you know? they defintly are rock and jazz also. Download king without a crown and close my eyes by matisyahu, their two best songs.
