music Best Reggae

Glad i found this thread.  A couple weeks back, i caught a Scratch Perry show in Phila with a belly full of NJ-grown Scotch Bonnets.  Scratch is still an incredible performer, at 80 years old.  I been to reggae shows before, but never a live-dub kinda show.  They were touring to commemorate the 40th anniversary of his legendary Super Ape album; they played this one pretty early on.  Always been a favourite of mine:

It's impossible to talk about Scratch without talking about Max Romeo; Max was one of Lee Perry's favourite singers to work with, and i've always loved this chune, even if I'm pretty sure it was produced by Niney the Observer (Pum Pum riddim; might've been the b-side)...

I've been listenng to a lot of mega-long dancehall single-riddim mach-ups while saucing and cooking in general; the "Peanie Peanie" shit always keeps me focused on repetitive and or time-consuming tasks.  Here's a favourite track on the Peanie riddim:
 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viHmvL8sAtc  I know that the interwebs, apart from reggae-themed forums, are kinda roots-obsessed, but I was impressed with the diversity on this thread.  I figurd I'd put a little splash of ragga/bashment on the scene to keep things moving.
