I also like dub a real lot too but unfortunately I don't know the names of too many specific tracks. But I like all the famous ones like Scientist and King Tubby etc.

You do ask a lot of questions. Maybe give folks a chance to breathe...

I really like "One in Ten" by UB40. That's a classic that deserves more attention. It purveys its message from a really fresh angle and also employs intriguing syncopation in its vocal melody. Of course, in general Bob Marley songs are the finest that the reggae genre has to offer, but "One in Ten" gets high marks for having such a clear identity.

I also really enjoy "My Brain Is Like a Sieve" by Thomas Dolby. Dolby may not come from the type of social background that really breeds reggae's topical character, but I love his unique way of interweaving loud high, brash vocals with such a silky, streamy beat.

'Sufferer' by The Kingstonians is a brilliant piece.
