I don't have any specific songs to recommend, because I just listen through all of it.

Some good artists are Black Uhuru (as mentioned), Max Romeo, and The Gladiators. Burning Spear and Buju Banton are also good, but are more of an acquired taste, I think.

Above all I recommend Dennis Brown. He's excellent.

Buju Banton - 'Til Shiloh is pretty good. I don't know much reggae, though.

Look for anything on the Trojan label from the 60's onwards. You'll get an understanding of how reggae came from ska, which came from imported U.S. r'n'b - and enjoy listening to some damn good tunes on the way.
