Day 62: Grounation Day

Jaaahh!! Rastafarianism!!! Today is Grounation Day, which is apparently the second-most important day (behind Coronation Day) in the Rastafari religious movement. For those who are unaware, Rastafarianism is commonly associated with Jamaica, which is notoriously associated with reggae music. So, for the holiday I've put together a list of ten reggae songs; ten being the most reggae songs I can listen to in a row. Also, yesterday was 4/20. Weed is illegal and you will get caught if you use it, but this does seem like the appropriate list for this time of year. And it turned out pretty good, so enjoy.

YouTube:
01. Bob Marley - Could You Be Loved
02. Toots and the Maytals - Pressure Drop
03. Jimmy Cliff - Many Rivers to Cross
04. The Melodians - Rivers of Babylon
05. Gregory Isaacs - Night Nurse
06. Barrington Levy - Murderer (though I realize this does ruin "Bad Boyz" by Shyne from this blog. Nuts.)
07. Peter Tosh - Get Up, Stand Up
08. The Congos - Children Crying
09. Burning Spear - Marcus Garvey
10. The Upsetters - Haunted House (N/A on imeem, "Soulful One" instead)
