Like the title says.
Personally, mine is Lee Perry's dubversion Fisherman Dub, originally made by The Congos (known as "Row Fisherman").
I know there are more than one version of it, but this is the one:

To my mind there are 2 kinds of reggae songs--those written as reggae and those adapted.
Red, Red Wine Bob Marley

Pressure Drop Toots and the Maytals: [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rb13ksYO0s"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rb13ksYO0s
BTW what's the bright line between reggae, ska and rock-steady?

not really into Reggae but the first ones that come to mind are three by Desmond Dekker in "the israelites", "it mek" and "you can get it if you really want"
also,one of Marley's comes straight to my mind "no woman no cry"
two that werent really reggae but covered by reggae/ska artists are
"i shot the sheriff"...Bob Marley
"red red wine"........UB40
"BTO....Bachman,Turner,Overweight
They were big in the 70s....for five minutes,on a Saturday,after lunch..." - Me 2014.

Kaya is a great Marley album overall IMO. This has nothing to do with that, being a bit of a mixup, and Sting gets a bit screechy, but I always liked the energy RR brings to this performance.
