A list like this is completely stupid. So here goes
+ Brigadier Jerry
+ Early B
+ Ranking Dread
+ Yellowman
+ Super Cat
+ Ranking Trevor
+ Nicodemus
+ Ranking Joe
+ U Brown
+ Buro
They're in no particular order. These are the deejays who have given me most joy listening too. All of them being rather obvious choices.
Lately I've been listening almost non-stop to tapes with Briggy on Jah Love Muzik. What an incredible artist!

Well Kalcidis
Dis ya list WAKAD.
Same thing here. I never really had the opportunity to take in Briggy as i grew up in Nigeria dem time deh. But i had a few briggy tapes. But since de advanet of You tube and Lime wire I have been listening as much Briggy as me can.
Nowadays, we should have dances where all that is played is the works of dis highly talented individuals.

Nice to see someone has some perspective here. I love the foundation, but the new school definitely has some talent. To me, to deny that is ignorance even if you don't like the digital music. The djs still a progress. ( I would have put ninja in the list too, though). Though I'd say this is in terms of recording. Lately live they can't seem to string more than one line together at a time.

I Don`t think I could name 10 DJ`s that have really done it for me over the years.
I think to many DJ`s are very inconsistent and have mainly got by on the srength of a riddim rather than their ablity to deliver the chat.
But if I had to name one, it would be King Sighter who is a severely under recorded DJ
imo "Master Of All" / "One Eyed Giant" is one of the best DJ albums ever.
