    Default Top 10(ish) Reggae

    Following from this thread What are your top tracks of the genre? (please only list tracks that are proven to actually work in a mobile disco situation & not just because they are of a certain genre. Also must be suitable for all ages)

    It doesn't matter if you post a track that somebody else has, the idea is to find good useable tracks of the genre that are proven to work for mobile DJs

    Please Stick to the specific genre in the thread title

    Make the lists as long as you like as long as they are useable

    Some we play are :-

    Buffalo Soldier - Bob Marley
    Three Little Birds - Bob Marley
    Don’t Worry, Be Happy – Bobby McFerrin
    Night Nurse - Gregory Isaacs
    Red, Red wine – UB40
    Kingston Town – UB40
    Wonderful World, Beautiful People – Jimmy Cliff
    Help Me Make It Through The Night – John Holt
    I want To Wake Up With You – John Holt
    Fatty Bum Bum – Carl Malcolm
    Sweat – Inner Circle
    Montego Bay – Freddy Notes & The Rudies
    Caribbean Queen – Billy Ocean
    Dreadlock Holiday - 10cc
    I Don’t Wanna Dance – Eddy Grant
    Wet Dream – Max Romeo

    I know a few are "pop reggae" rather than traditional, but they mix well and go down with the audience.

    Almost any Marley / UB40 track is good and light ska as well.
    Do you really want me to play that?
