Do you like Reggae? 2

In honour of the dying D&B thread...
What sub-genre do you prefer? Roots/dancehall/dub/modern/etc?
I've been a rootsman for many years (Bob Marley/Barrington Levy/Linval Thompson/etc) but the modern shit is fucking sublime. Pretty much anything by 'Silly Walks Discotheque' fucking rocks:
-------------------- Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not. --Jac O'keeffe

I love roots and dub reggae from the 60s-80s, but that's about the extent of my reggae knowledge. I like a lot of the dancehall I've heard but I have yet to really delve into the genre or any modern reggae, really.

King Tubby most likely. Dub specialist.
I always wanted to love Dub but I always prefer music with a human voice.

No point me linking the brief selection of music I like because shroomery doesn't like soundcloud. Suffice to say, Alpha & Omega are pretty good dub.

I almost never listen to real reggae but I love some fusion with reggae elements. Here is a reggae/ Jamaica inspired tune from a great German rock band:
Lake: Jamaica High
I love how groovy it is, great song for relaxing a toking up 
And here is a really trippy psychedelic prog rock tune with some heavy reggae vibes:
BlandBladen - På Grön Kvist
This album has some of the nicest drum n bass I have ever heard on a studio album, almost makes it sound live at times. Funky synth too
-------------------- Don't worry about me, I've got all that I need. And I'm singing my song to the sky You know how it feels, With the breeze of the sun in your eyes. Not minding that time's passing by I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

I haven't listened to much, to be totally honest, but I have always enjoyed what I've heard. Apparently a lot of the English post-punk groups I'm really keen on were heavily influenced by dub reggae. Bauhaus, anyone? She's in Parties is an obvious one.
I had a co-worker who was heavily into dub/reggae and played in a group for a while. He introduced me to Black Uhuru.
I found this little gem the other day whilst browsing for dub siren clips.

Fuck no. Reggae, at best, is background music where it doesn't have to actually be heard by anyone that doesn't want to listen to it.

I blame the missionaries that forced the bible down the necks of the people who would go on to start the reggae movement. That aspect really riles me up too.
The Rastafarian religion has always struck me as odd how much Christianity has been weaved into it. I think there's some fucking awesome values built into it, but some fucking odd ones too.
Guess that's the same with any religious movement though...

Yes, seems that way.
I would like to see that part of the country, on the other hand there are much prettier places to see that are lush like that. I'll pass on Jamaica, but some of the music is pretty good.
