Review

The Rough Guide to Reggae is a stellar introduction to the music, though lacking a song by Bob Marley is a serious oversight (or perhaps, a statement about the importance of reggae's most famous figure). The artists who are included are some of the best, though, including Toots & the Maytals, Augustus Pablo, King Tubby, Burning Spear, the Congos, Aswad, Gregory Isaacs, Buju Banton and Lucky Dube. ~ Keith Farley, All Music Guide
