Reggae suggestions?

[Panache]

Quite recently I have become introduced to the works of Bob Marley. Soooo I need more now!! what' re some artists or groups you can recommend to me? I have only really tried to listen to Bob Marley so I am really new to this. Maybe someone who sounds like him and has a similar message? At least to start.

[FONT="Verdana"][COLOR="DarkRed"]I started getting into reggae myself a lot lately. I'm no expert, since I really only listen to the more recent stuff. Since you say you are a [B]Bob Marley[/B] fan, I guess you are more into the old school style. The only thing that comes to mind to me is [B]Steel Pulse[/B], but I've only heard [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kOBWj1RoC4"][U]No More Weapons[/U][/URL] by them.

For the more recent artists, [B]Damion Marley[/B] is pretty big now. He has the same message as [B]Bob[/B], but his style is of a rap like reggae. He is my favorite reggae artist by the way. One thing that does bugs me is that some people say he's just trying to make money of his father's name, but he's been in the business forever now. A good song by him that you may not of heard before is [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHZ2YwoJzi0"][U]Still Searching[/U][/URL], feating one of his brothers [B]Stephen Marley[/B]. By the way, [B]Bob[/B] had [I]a lot[/I] of kids.

I've found this cool song by [B]Vybz Kartel[/B], feating a video with Devil May Cry [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNNHCLBKgvA"][U]here[/U][/URL], but I don't know anything about them.

I would give a a few samples of [B]Skindred [/B], but since they are a punk reggae band, I think that might miss the mark of what you are looking for:animesmil.
