I had no idea too, I used to think Ska was Reggae.

But it's all good.

Never saw a Ska song go down bad on a good Reggae night.

Bob Marley and Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer were in a Ska band first of all weren't they, I think.

Pretty sure they were. Even they thought Ska was Reggae.

I was going to add a +1 for Police and Thieves, but this Zappa track is a classic.
Or anything that Bullwackie produced, his stuff is king.

Song of blood by Linton Kwesi Johnson does it for me

I think "best Reggae song" is not a good way to ask. Best is subjective, so I'll give my favorite. Also, asking for a songs only precludes all that good stuff from King Tubby, etc. where there is no vocal, so maybe change the thread title to not just include songs?

For me my favorite is a cover of an old 60s song done by the Hotshots in the 70s:

There is so much good reggae, but to pick one toon its got to be Augustus Pablo - King Tubby meet the rockers uptown

Its a bit like house and techno, I guess.

One is more funky and laidback, the other more uptempo and in-yer-face

That's my choice too. I've listened to that song hundreds of times over the years, and I never get tired of it.

Which song do you consider being the best Reggae-song of all time?
