This is a problem I believe occurs across all genres of music, and unless one has an edcuated ear, it can happen very easily to anyone (my past self included). One just needs to look for those artists who actually create(d) originality within said genre, as opposed to, say, poorly-concieved compilations (shudder) or Greatest Hits packages (even worse).
I have an excellent collection of mixes by DJs, of classic reggae and dub that got me into the genre. At your request, I'll get a couple on here for you.

Noted. But it's important to be aware that, with only 8 posts under your belt, you don't really have an established personality on this board yet. I'm not saying that to try to beat you over the head with my post-count, I'm just saying that as a new person here it's important to be aware that nobody yet knows enough about you to be able to tell when you're joking. So it's a good idea to take extra care with what you say. After all, there's no tone of voice on the internet.

True. It's easy to forget that.
Do you listen to any other classic reggae/dancehall/dub? How about the modern stuff like Rhythm & Sound?

I haven't heard Murray Street, but I used to really love Bad Moon Rising. I think I overplayed it a bit, because I don't like it quite as much now.

While we're on old Sonic Youth albums that are better than Daydream Nation, don't forget Evol OOOOOOOOOF.
