My list was biased towards my favorite singers and bands,some artists for example Peter Tosh did not make my list outright yet made it nonethesless as members of a band or singing tandem.As reggae music is composed of many different styles this is an extremely difficult genre of music to sort out and compòse a ¨best of the best¨list.Did not add producers or dub geniuses like Alpha & Omega which would have made creating this list that much more difficult,this list strictly consists of reggae singers and bands.Feel free to comment on list and let me know of any artist you might like added or overall opinion on list……special recognition to the many backing bands in reggae for example The Aggrovators.,Skin ,Flesh, and Bones,The Upsetters,Roots Radics etc……..also I created this list on the fly so i am sure i forgot some crucial artists,feel free to make commentaries on list or note on exluded artists .TY Jah Bless……
