I created this playlist to introduce the versatility that is reggae music. It's unfortunately rare to hear a reggae song on the radio but I guess that's what satellite and mp3's are for nowadays. If you can get over the stereotypes of reggae, you can get into a rhythmic world of politics, love, punk, and dance music all over smooth and bouncy beats that are must-see live. Here are 10 tracks that are heavily influenced by reggae's beautiful sounds.

My Roots
These are the albums that changed the way I listen to music.
Every one of these albums opened the door to the music I enjoy and appreciate now.
From the eloquence that is/was Lauryn Hill, to the pop-punk of New Found Glory that I listened to more than my teachers, to the genius that is the Beatles, Fiona Apple, and Outkast, to hiding the fact that Sublime taught me more about life than my mom should know, all the way to the one and only Michael Jackson, these are the albums that I'm greatly indebted to.

About Me
- DC
- Let's just say I'm a big fan of all things music. A bad day turns good when I hear a new band, listen to a CD for the first time, hear a new song, or get into why music from the past was so good. Since I try to get into as much music as I can, and because my brain can only handle so much..this blog is my venue to let it all out.
