So we all love a bit of Bob but the other year I had a little search for some alternative artists in these genres and I discovered Sister Nancy, particularly the track "Bam Bam" which I suppose is early dancehall (can't stand modern dancehall!).

What other artists can you recommend as I can't get enough of this music in the summer?!

Beenie Man - King of the dancehall, or Dude (my parents LOVE that song), or Girls. Absolute tunes.

There are so many! Also Sean Paul -I'm still in love with you.

Kevin Lyttle - turn me on

Hope this helps.

I'm a big fan of late 70's roots style reggae. Good rhythms and catchy songs. (Political yes, but that was the time) A good start would be tracking down the Roots Reggae Essentials cd. Some fine songs. Doesn't have Dennis Brown's Money In My Pocket on it though.

That Sister Nancy track is a Toots & The Maytals number, who I definitely recommend too.
