A solid 7 on first listen for me. Once again RP introduces me to music I've missed.
Nice to not see the usual silly complaints about anything religeous in a song's lyrics for once.

Looks like a shared UK interest dub-wise.... will give Pete Cogle a try, you might also enjoy http://radio.rightonscales.com which plays constant reggae/dub, no adverts or even station ID's... at present a whole 68 listeners world-wide. Was a constant companion before I found the RP light!

I am sure you will find as much variation in the genre as you like - and it is all recent stuff.

PJB, I appreciate your entertaining and enlightening comments, but wondering how you can compare the (to my ears) limited rhythmic and melodic variation of reggae, at least what we hear on RP, with the range of any of the other genres you cite.

Examples, please - I'm always ready to learn something.

That's pretty ignorant. Third World have been going for a long old time. I remember listening to them back in the 80s. There's nothing "pseudo ethnic" about them. PC "morons" might or might not buy their stuff as a fashion statement, but that's not the band's fault. They're the real deal. I don't go a bundle on them myself because of their heavy-duty religion, same as I don't like Songs of Praise, but I'd never criticise their authenticity.

Are you dissing an entire genre? Or is that a type-oh and you meant "Reggae is the shit"?

By the way 'ttttttttttttt' makes no sense other than you got a shitty keyboard.

As for a suggestion, look up Burning Spear, you might like.

What a riot. I love this cover. Marketing? Maybe... I doubt it... but who cares? What a hoot. Lighten up dudes... it aint that serious. Denmark? Lived there for three years. Don't get it.. but again who cares? Lite it up dudes.

why do reggae songs get such low ratings on rp?


For the same reason other music gets low ratings. People don't like it and/or feel like they're hearing too much of it.

Not everyone has the same musical tastes. For me, occasional reggae is okay, but I feel that it's generally overplayed on RP compared to other "world music" (aka non-American) genres. I don't hear much Samba, Beijing Opera, monks chanting, etc. So why the heavy reggae rotation?
