I am curious what your opinions are, I'd have to say Junior Byles - Curly Locks is way up there. When I first heard that song I got the chills.

If you mean the "reggae beat", I personnaly enjoy much the one of Marley's Natural mystic or the jamaican version of Catch a Fire. Love the upsetter "double skank" like on Words of my mouth or sun is shining... and many great organ skank with guitar and organ coupled... got to look for titles... or played with horns... like "They dont know jah" by the wailing souls...
I personnally dont like the long lacks of skank in songs.

Guitar and organ skanking is a must!
It's a shame that the word 'skank' has recently become associated with 'smelly' 'dirty' 'dropout' etc in the UK - as in "what a skanky girl she is" isn't a compliment!!

Every Man Ought To Know by Max Romeo was my first choice. Since that has already been mentioned I will go with Nice Dem Up by Massive Dread. I can't stay still when I play this twelve inch.
