i had misfiled ska under reggae until i learned better in college that i knew ska but i didn't - it was the mid 90s and i had a buddy (whom i've pointed at this progrm) who was into the dancehall crashers, the skatalites, bim-skala-bim are a few coming to mind - i'm definitely enjoying the swim this morning

Hope you dig some of these favorites here! I'm sure they're some of yours too

All right, Matt from New Orleans -- thanks for the link!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:23pm
Mike Sin:

ike_p -- I think most Americans came to reggae in the '70s through very popular artists such as Bob Marley when the music was moving in the "roots" direction. But, there was was quite a history leading up to that. On today's show, we have a bit more of a rocksteady slant than straight-up ska.
