Just recently I watched the documentary titled "Who shot the sherif"
And I learned about the One Love Peace Concert

And I must say that the 10 minute live version of "Jammin" must be the most powerful reggae song I've heard in a long time, if not ever

I love that opening riff on the electric guitar (very Stones like in my opinion btw), and the last 3-4 minutes are pure gold, I mean the power in Marley's voice there is just astonishing
(even more so iff you imagine the thunderbolt that struck right when Marley stops singing and goes into the shamanic trance)

To bad the entire concert isn't on Spotify, but thank god at least the live "Jammin" is

Yeah, there are
For me other artists I love are The Congos, The Heptones, Dennis Brown and especially Black Uhuru

But as for me, and the submited live „Jamming”, it’s just that for a very long time I was quite dismisive of Marley (I found him more in the likes of „pop reggae” or something), but then some time ago I gave him another try, and really understood what all the fuss was about. His groove is just amazing, and I really think that his songs, the material he writes is often superior to other reggae artists. Like you can really feel why he was so big in Jamaica and the world

Maxi Priest - "Close to you" is probably my favourite although I dont know much as far as Reggae,I dont listen to it that much.....

Some of my favorite reggae tracks are by deejays/toasters/singjays/whateveryawannacallthem. I especially like the following track. It's difficult to cover any Ray Charles song. But Big Youth puts his own stamp on it by throwing out a lot of the lyrics and adding some new ones:
