Raegae-ish song suggestions?

starbuck8 · #1 Apr 26, 2008, 01:45 AM

I really like songs by artists like Jack Johnson, Ben Harper...and so on.

My faves by Jack J are "Banana Bread" and "Bubble Toes"

Anyone know of some more good songs in that genre? New/old artists...I want to make a good old...sittin by the campfire, hangin out CD.

Suggestions of other genre's are welcome also!

Country, Pop, Alternative, Blues?....give it your best shot! I'm a music junky!!

(just no rap/hip hop/opera/metal/or bubble gum (hehe)...it's a put your feet up and relax and have fun CD, if you know what I mean)

Thanks for all suggestions!!

Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros. Try and get a copy of the live Staright to Hell, it's a Clash song but really chilled in Joe's solo stuff.

You probably listen to this already but with good old Bob Marley you can't go wrong. Redemption song is an absolute classic.

EDIT

I just thought you might like Ben Folds Five "Brick" - Not reggae but nice and chilled, piano based. I htink it's similar to Jack Johnson but I' a bit weird with how I link genres and artists so forgive me If I've missed the mark :P

Oh you didn't miss the mark at all!! Love it! I've never even heard of Ben Folds Five...awesome song!!

Keep 'em coming if you come up with anymore. Like I said, I'm really open to most anything really...I was just listening to Marley, Jack J, and I thought there must be others I'm missing out on! Thankyou!!

EDIT:

I found a few more songs by Ben Folds Five. I'm havin a listen to "Song for the dumped" and LMAO!

Not sure if you like "Coldplay" starby but this is pretty mellow , most of their stuff is.
Make sure you watch it all though , the concert footage is great!!!

This is also very good. Its called "Advertising Space" by Robbie Williams , a trubute song he did for Elvis. Let me know what you think.
