Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff, Toots and the Maytalls… the list is endless.

Some of my favorites (in no particular order):

Reggae Down Babylon (Jimmy Cliff) — reggae down apartheid!

Buffalo Soldier (Bob Marley) — the US government using former slaves to fight indigenous Americans…

Downpressor Man (Peter Tosh) — the Jamaican police state.
