For me, the best reggae song of all times will always be 'Exodus', by Bob Marley.

Here is a great live version:

"Movement of Jah people."

one of the most spiritual moments of my life, watching the wailers, with iirc topper from the clash?
no woman no cry, in a field with 20k people singing along

[melomood]

Mine was a Burning Spear concert at City Gardens that started with the singer making bird calls from the back of the club as he walked up to the stage & the smell of sensi wafted thru the crowd

[vurt]

nice

[excuse me please]

Don't know if it is the best, but it's my favorite.

redemption song by bob marley if by global consensus
rivers of babylon by the melodians and pass the dutchie ime as cultural experiences
and maybe overpopularised by GTA, nobody move nobody get hurt by yellowman for sheer vibe

[melomood]

When it comes to Marley I like Buffalo Soldier, The Perry Sessions,the dubs & the remixes by Lanios & Thievery Corporation

Thin Lizzy - Half Caste

[Bombadil]

The only reggae I know is by Bob Marley, so I'll go with Exodus. Or Redemption Song. Or No Woman, No Cry.

[Erisian]

One Love by Bob Marley has always been a favourite of mine but in their early days, before they became just a pop band, UB40 did some great stuff and I really liked this song about the framing for murder of Gary Tyler in Louisiana - a state well known for its racism. UK residents who were young adults in the eighties will know the significance of the band name UB40 and the album name "Signing Off." The image is of the old UB40 signing-on cards that we used to claim unemployment benefits. The song is called "Tyler"
