PRINCE BUSTER

Tell me you have never recited Buster's Ten Commandments to your woman and laughed at her response and I'll tell you

you haven't lived. A pioneer in the birth of Ska from it's R&B roots and still going strong.

JUDGE DREAD

A Working Class Hero? Without doubt!!. Who could ever forget growing up to the sounds of  Dread trying to get his end away at  every opportunity? The first white singer to record for Trojan says it all! R.I.P. A true legend.

DERRICK MORGAN

Prince buster's biggest rival and no wonder. Another who could turn from banging out deep Ska to Rocksteady & Reggae without any problem.

LEE PERRY

There's a fine line between madman and genius as the saying goes. If you needed any proof of that then here's your man.

Amazingly  talented songwriter, producer, DJ, you name it.

THE SKATALITES

Anything I could say wouldn't do them justice, the best thing I could say is buy their music, listen, learn and enjoy.

THE PIONEERS

The 4 Tops of Reggae? Soulful vocals, catchy songs, and real presence.

THE ETHIOPIANS

Great songs like Train to Skaville, Good Ambition, Train to Glory, Engine 54 go along way to making this band a definite inclusion.

DERRICK HARRIOT

Do you like brilliant instrumentals? Look no further than here.

TOOTS & THE MAYTALS

Everything from grinding Skinhead Reggae to Lovers Rock are visited by the Maytals, and Toots's gravel tinged voice is evident throughout.

LAUREL AITKEN

The Godfather of Ska as he will be remembered, rest in peace and thanks for some great tunes & memories.

JIMMY CLIFF

A brilliantly talented vocalist and international Reggae superstar, more Reggae material than Ska but who cares when it's so good.

THE KINGSTONIANS

I love this band,  they have got everything, brilliant vocals & harmonies and a real thumping Skinhead Reggae sound.

BOB MARLEY

Mr Reggae. Probably  the biggest Reggae star ever and a songwriter of  unrivalled ability.

PAT KELLY

Not much material but what a voice! He was the Sam Cooke of  Rocksteady, Brilliant.

KEN BOOTHE

Distinctive vocals made him stand out. Some great early recordings.

JOHN HOLT

On his own or performing with The Paragons he could mix Skinhead Reggae and Rocksteady to a tee.

SYMARIP

Deserve a mention for all their songs dedicated to Skinheads.

OTHERS THAT DON'T DESERVE TO BE LEFT OUT

Dave & Ansil Collins, Clancy Eccles, The Tennors, Alton Ellis, Denis Brown, Desmond Dekker, Winston Groovy, Dandy Livingstone, Delroy Wilson ,King Stitt, Harry J, The Uniques, Byron Lee, Dennis Alcapone, Stranger Cole, Justin Hines, Tapper Zukie, The Cimarons.
