Fakin' Jamaican 2

The more you look at popular and rock music, the more you see influences of other musical genres. This is especially true of Jamaican music, specifically, Reggae, Ska, Dub, etc. Putting this pick together (all of the volumes) was fun. And watching the expression on my friend's face as he realized that he actually does like Jamaican music was even better. He is a big Jeff Back fan and when he realized that Beck incorporated reggae on one of his favorite albums, blew him away. Oops! Sorry. You can find so many artists who have been influenced by the little island of Jamaica, that it's not even funny. It's that way with a lot of genres. The Slipped My Disco series did that with disco. So many bands were influenced by that genre, too. You can really find it with every trend of music. Some last longer than others, or mutate into something new, but it's all good.
