The most memorable reggae songs of the times are roots. Roots is known worldwide with the popularity of acts like Bob Marley, Third World and Inner Circle.
Roots was most popular durring the 1970's and 1980's, but after a dry spell through the 1990's as dancehall really took hold, roots is making a big comeback. Roots always is the style that everybody identifies as the traditional reggae and as the times change the music grows and improves as the awesome basslines keep the rhythym.
