Just wondering how many Cancers like Jack Johnson? Or am I the only one? My favourite Jack song is Rodeo Clowns.

Whos that? Hey is there any other crabs who like reggae? Because I only know 2 people who really like it and that has been my ex and my boyfriend who are both cancer- just wondering.

I'm glad u like him Melusine. I sort of like reggae, I don't listen to much of it, but I like the Drop Leaf Riddim compilation.

I am an Aries and I confess...I enjoy listening to Jack Johnson, Coldplay, and John Mayers music was not too bad either.

Right now on this very cozy rainy day with candles burning I am listening to Khani Cole. Her CD - Places

Hi Khani if you are out there! 😉 I'm coming to see you when I get to Az.

I knew it! there's people who LIKE reggae but LOVE?! you have to admit that you don't exactly run into people who are bumpin' it or even like it... My two cancer boyfriends however love it, it's their favorite type of music and now with cancerlady that makes the only 3 people who I know LOVE it- all cancers 😛

Personally I'm not alllll thaaat into it 😛 I came up with the idea (genius me -not) to make a CD for my crabby crab of mine 🙂 I thought I could do various artists with the best songs and he's mentioned peter tosh so I'll throw that in. The problem is I know nothing of reggae and since I don't listen to it I have no clue of what he could possibly like... I had initially thought of just buying a CD or maybe a collection or something of that sort but then I thought that it might be more meaningful if I do it myself plus I kinda mentioned it to him and he seemed happy that I thought of him when downloading music.

I've learned of a few reggae artists like bob marley, peter tosh and gregory isaacs- hah! only those. Well and know Buju Banton who I will look up. So if there's any other people out there who LOVE reggae (uughum cancerlady) any suggestions? Any other artists I should consider? Is it just reggae or is there different types? Is there a universal idea of what good reggae is? good songs?

Thanx in advance 🙂

Personally,

I would find out what type of reggae he like then go from there...seeing as you don't know many artists, it might be best to get a complilation done by professionals that way you get the best songs...Good Luck!

In my cd player right now, BUJU of course! "Til Shiloh"

Thanx cancerlady! that is awesome info. Well I don't know what type is which but I've heard what he has and have a feel for what he likes and doesn't so much so I'll keep my ears open. I've got some stuff that even I like and with all the other names you gave me I'll put in some more variation. Thanx again!

Look up "Drop Leaf Riddim" compilation. I like it. "Yes you got to be strong, and do the best that you can, the world is a scary place, blah blah blah..."
