8. I know. Although I would call Dub an offshoot of Reggae.
And Lee was Reggae before he was Dub, IMO.

4. Heathen!
FIRE FIRE FIRE!

Yeah, that's the best I can flame at someone for their musical tastes. You like what you like; the fact that you like it at least means that you're listening. (although, if you were extolling the musical virtues of Kenny G, I'd call you every goddamn name in the book)

13. yep
and then him and Peter and Bunny put out some stuff with Lee Perry producing. Perry snuck them into the studio late at night cause they couldn't pay. Perry's studio band at the time became the Wailers instrumental section. There was some bad blood between Perry and Bob over that for awhile.
They eventually made up. & co-wrote Punky Reggae Party after seeing the Clash.

15. just the hazards of a good memory
and an immersion in reggae at a certain point or more in my life.

By the way, my father's name was Joel. Don't see that name too often.
Props.

16. Massive Attack!

I've never heard his solo work, but since I love Massive Attack, I love the vocals he has done.
