Re: ONE ARTIST
It's crazy to think that 8 years ago I did not even know who Dennis Brown was...
Now I can't hear the man's voice with out the volume go up and smile come to my face
Dennis Brown was the "one artist" my yardie friend recommended when I was first learning Reggae...
I don't think I have the album with John Holt tho

for me...it depends on the person...and what i know about their musical tastes. I might suggest John Holt for an older person...but not a young one. For younger folks...i'd start them on Morgan Heritage, Damien....etc....
you can't go wrong with D Brown or Bob...no matter what the ageComment

Re: ONE ARTIST
hmmm, I dont know how to gage peoples taste, because both my sons Love Love Rap, and they both love Reggae. One loves dancehall the other one loves Roots. My granddaughter (9yrs old) has been rocking to Bob since she was a baby!
Grandkids seem to love Morgan Heritage, Bob Marley, Stephen Marley. They are not allowed to listen to dancehall, same as they are not allowed to listen to Rap!
Was in Jamaica once and one guy that was with us confessed that he hated Reggae Music, said it gave him a headache. He probably was in his mid to late forties. Thing is he had never been exposed to Reggae before he went to Jamaica. I was surprised at his confession because he mostly was listening to the live bands on the beach, and for the most part that is easy listening or so I thought.
Dancehall is nearly impossible to understand if you dont understand Patois. Some wicked beats that will keep you on your feet, however, I have always wondered if some people really know the lyrics that they are dancing to.
Coming to my house most likely you will only hear Reggae playing.Comment
