Bob Marley or Jimmy Cliff? (funk, reggae, artists, bands)

King Tubby and Lee perry pioneered Dub which is an instrument heavy remix style of reggae with lots of reverb and echo. Desmond Dekker and Toots Hibbard were the forerunners in the rocksteady sound of reggae which added a soul and funk edge but mainly soul. They were both making records a lot earlier than Marley.

A.K.A. the best genre ever.

Well, it's up there anyway. I cannot stop listening to Scientist. And De Facto. And Mad Professor. Seriously. I even listen to dub as I'm falling asleep at night. The shit is like crack to me.
