I probably won't get many reply's cuz Reggae isn't that popular, I saw the who is the best rapper thread and I love hip hop but just wanted to see what other reggae lovers like. Here goes my favorites.

Bob Marley - Of course obvious one there.
Marley Sons - They're all great, I would say Damien is my favorite.
Don Carlos - One of the smoothest voices I ever heard
Buju Banton - Pure Passion in his singing
Barrinton Levy - Another one of the greatest voices I ever heard live.
Peter Tosh - Rebel
Black Uhuru
Yellowman
eek a mouse
Pato Banton
toots and the maytals
Pinchers

Bob Marley, because his music is ever green, the man is a true legend.

I grew up on reggae music, it's in the fabric of my soul. So of course when I saw your original list, I too wondered whyGregory Isaacs wasn't in that list (RIP). Other than that, your list is pretty close to my favorites. I'll also add:

Wailing Souls
Joseph "Killer" Miller (Inner Circle)
Dennis Miller
Scientist (Overton Brown)
Prince Jammy

And some of the new guys:

Slightly Stoopid
Rebelution
The Expendables

Nice, ya I meant to add Gregory but didn't. I like the Cali reggae artists, I love slightly stoopid, I live in Santa Cruz where the expendables are from, love them. Rebelution is good, I would also add Soja and Tribal seeds to that.

Buju Banton - Pure Passion in his singing .... The only Reggae Artist I've ever liked.

"I could go on and on. The full has never been told."
