[lady grey]

trenchtown rock

Im on a serious roots reggae kick, listening strictly to reggae circa 1980-1985.

gregory isaacs [secretary, private beach party] {lovers rock}
yellowman [soldier take over, the girl is mien {with peter metro} mad over me/shortsies]
black uhuru [fit you haffe fit]
barrington levy [under me sensi]
wayne smith [under me slengteng]
johnnie osbourne [water pumpee, put it by number 1]
early B [circle jamaica]
derrick lara [peek a boo]
sugar minott [tek a set; level vibes; buy out the bar]
frankie paul [pass the tushengpeng; worries in the dance; just dont want to be lonely]

....you know- roots dancehall dubwise rockers & yardstyle reggae just before the digital sound came in & then the very first digital dancehall tracks [slengteng, under me sensi] with synth bass & drums etc that revolutionized reggae & lead to the mechanical dancehall sound that imo changed reggae for the worse circa 1985.

my fave jamican music will always be from mid -60s - mid 80s, when they still used electric bass & real drums - instead of synth bass & programmed drums [the digital style].
the tempos were slower & rootsier in the 70s/early 80s. the dance hall & digital style brought in hyper-kinetic fast tempos that alterered reggae forever.

I've been listening to Elastica lately.

 

[twilight fairy]

the mamas and the papas
simon and garfunkel

peaches

They have some ace songs excepppttt I can't bear listening to the COSMIC amount of swear words they seem to be able to squash into one song.

 

[iperlchen]

the mediaeval baebes

The naeme captured my curiousity, I gave them a listen... very .

Agree with all your bands! (except for 2 or 3 that I don't know) I especially love the last album from Soulwax

 

[adorefaith]

You all seem to have quite similar tastes in music... I will probably really stand out here. I guess I fall for some of the more commercial stuff sometimes--I still manage to find incredible emotion in it.

Celine Dion
Faith Hill
Barbra Streisand
Michael Buble
Julie Roberts
Frou Frou (probably the most 'alternative' music I have found and loved, so far)
Tina Arena
Alan Jackson
Norah Jones
Frank Sinatra
Nat King Cole
Harry Connick Jr.
India Arie
John Denver
James Taylor
Keane
Lionel Richie
Maroon 5
Sade
Shania Twain

..etc
