My tape of Ragga Heat Reggae Beat had Informer by Snow on it! And Inner Circle - Sweat (lalalalalala long)!

The Tide Is High (Got The Feeling)

I think we're skirting dangerously near the borders of Actual Reggae with Inner Circle but definitely Snow!

In fact most of RHRB would work:

Maxi Priest
Musical Youth
General Levy
Chaka Demus & Pliers etc

I was trying to work out if Dawn Penn and Rihanna were Reggae Lite or Actual Reggae which is just a bit lite.

Tori Amos - Happy Workers

I think Actual Reggae which is a bit pop is not what we're looking for, compared to pop which has a hem hem "reggae lilt".

Or in some cases a reggae thud.

Re: 10CC are calling our name

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

YES.

10cc - Dreadlock Holiday
Which of the Police's many hits though? Walking On The Moon is perhaps a little too 'dread'.

Re: 10CC are calling our name

And indeed that ZEP song which does 'reggae' that I remember from my explorations of Zep, but not what it's called.

What was the Men At Work reggae song - "Down Under"?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Good spot!

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Surely ELTON has sidled into this territory?

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

"down under" shattered my first IRON POPTIMIST LAW OF #1s =by def they are all good, even if i can't work out how

the point was to compel myself to work out what was good abt them and w.DOWN UNDER all i could think = people are deaf idiots sometimes :*(

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

The verse bit of Live And Let Die by Wings!

Baby I Love Your Way - Big Mountain

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Yes! This is a great example of the insertion of lite reggae making a good song even better.
