bob isnt uplifting? you should listen to "high tide or low tide", that'll lift you up or if your a little bit more than just a listener of reggae and maybe you practice rasta then listen to "Jah Live". these songs always cheer me up. anyways since you didnt ask for bob. you can listen to Israel Vibration, anything off of The Same Song is awesome and i couldnt take the cd out of my cd player for like the first 2 weeks of having it. basically any israel vibration, steel pulse, burning spear, the gladiators, culture. any roots reggae is probably the best music out there in my opinion. please dont mention sean paul or beenie man or any of that dance hall crap. its NOT real reggae.
