If you mean the Skinhead Reggae set, they might be different, but I'm not sure. I don't recall that cover before. But there's so many Trojan sets I can't keep em all straight. I like the Dawning of a New Era set too.

Some third wave stuff isn't too bad. The Aquabats are just plain fun, can't deny that.

I like these guys, from Hawaii:

This thread's been dormant for a while, and this one isn't ska/reggae/rocksteady, but it's a great soul track by the queen of rocksteady, so I'm counting it. Was my jam all morning.

I used to listen to a lot of third wave back in high school (streetlight, big d, catch, bosstones, mu330, etc.) Lately I've been getting back into ska which I must say, I'm thrilled about. It just gives you that warm fuzzy feeling and u can't stop moving the English beat puts on a hell of a show. I've seen them with jerry Dammers and on another occasion with lynval Golding (both of the specials) also caught the specials on their us tour a few months ago. I usually listen to jammy improv type stuff (mostly the dead to be honest... Also check out twiddle, they will blow your mind wide the eff open) but yes as I said I've been getting back into ska a bunch. At vibes this year fishbone played on Sunday and man, I gotta say that was absolutely THE best set of the weekend. Even with 2 nights of Phil and friends (with Scofield). Anyway... :drunk: Carry on, all! (Also... Twiddlemusic.com, check them out, you won't be disappointed)
 
I'm not wild about The English Beat (my least favorite 2 Tone band by far) but they certainly do put on a good show. They're coming around here again later in the month (they do so regularly). I was pissed as hell to find out the day after it happened that The Selecter was playing near here, whom I've never seen before.

Also this:

I would LOVE to see the selector. My local NPR station had Pauline black on a couple weeks ago but I happened to tune in just as they were ending the interview
 
I can't remember if I've heard that before. In either case, it's a great tune.

Yeah, I like that one. There are so many great obscure tracks out there. Here's another Lee Perry produced gem...

Not normally my style, but she's definitely really talented.

Now that one I have heard.
 
Love second wave ska (2 tone): The Specials, English Beat, Madness, The Selecter. A good compilation worth seeking out is called "This Are 2 Tone." I also enjoy some Bob Marley, Peter Tosh (they toured with the Stones in '80!), Jimmy Cliff, Dekker. Look for Desmond Dekker's "Black and Dekker," a great comeback album from the early '80s--includes a really cool, faster-tempo version of "Israelites."

I haven't brewed to it, but might have to do a reggae/ska brew day next time.
 
Reggae is hands-down my favorite style of music! Next to Phish, of course (they are their own category).
Here's a local band that a few are friends of mine:

there was a really great album put out a few years back called reggae gone country. I don't usually like country music but with a reggae vibe it sounds nice in my ears!

Usually I only listen to hard core dancehall but this has a very easy listening quality to it.

I can see some country influence, but that's definitely not country. Hah. Got kind of a Lovers Rock vibe to it. A little too new school for my taste, but definitely prefer it to dancehall :mug:
