Reggae, Ska, Ska Revival, Third Wave Ska Revival, Reggae Pop....this week's division has had many incarnations and rebirths through the years. So it's only fitting that the Godfather of Reggae takes the top spot by a landslide. Bob Marley received 10 first place votes and rolled along this week. He takes over second place on the overall leader board as well. The Third Wave Ska Revival had a strong showing as artists like 311, No Doubt, Sublime and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones took spots 2,3,4,& 6 respectively. Jimmy Cliff represented early reggae with Marley taking the 5th spot. And Ska Revival bands from the late 70's, The Specials and Madness, tallied in the same points and votes to get the last two spots. For statistical purposes, The Specials had a first place vote to break the tie between them and Madness.
