In response to TheExpanders post "Lee Perry is a genre within himself, right? Whatever, he's still my favorite."
Agreed, but more specifically, anything and everything that came out of the Black Ark with Scratch at the controls!

Much respect to Englands revival of Ska & Reggae music in the late 70s...responsible for the 2tone era!!!!!!!!!!!

favourite era is 1977 to 1982 (i think the riddims and bands were the toughest in this era, also the production and mixing), but I listen to all styles. Well not too much ska, actually.

mine is the rocksteady

dub n rockers, some dj
70s all the way.

i'm in agree

VERSATILITY IS THE KEY

I collect records from early 70's to 2008...but i can enjoy even the 60's rocksteady , mento , ska...

Jamaica,England,USA,France,Germany,Italy...all kind of production...from instrumental to digital to dub uk

Though no.1 will always be digital dancehall (85-89, Harry J sound, George Phang sound, Jammy's sound, etc.), I'm also a huge rub-a-dub fan, and of course there's always some wicked roots records to listen to. Let's say that all kinds of reggae can come, except for lovers rock which is absolutely not my taste.

Militant Roots,Roots culture and dub.

Cannot beat the heavy rastaman chant with spiritual and majestical feeling to it.

Early 70s rebel music, flyers, ska.

I like it all.
