Great recommendations, so thanks everyone! I'm very familiar with many of the 80's ska/reggae bands (I enjoyed many UB40, Specials and English Beat shows and even saw Selector at the Whiskey in 1980), but there are many bands here I'm not familiar with, so I'm loving this! The Rebelution song on Youtube(link in earlier response) is great, so it's a must buy! Please keep the recommendations coming!
Quality recordings of reggae/ska and alternative
I need help expanding my "reference" cds of reggae, ska and alternative rock; I'm interested in those with the highest quality recording and wide soundstage (if possible with this genre of music!). Does near audiophile quality exist for these genres? What are your recommendations? Some of the favs in my collection are: Cake, Ben Folds, Beck, Bare Naked Ladies, Bob Marley Legend, Steel Pulse, They Might Be Giants, Muse; I could go on with my list but want your suggestions on music that sounds great on 2 channel audiophile systems. Thanks!
