Yes, I've heard reggae Christmas songs & it drives me nuts. I'm not against reggae, but it all sounds the same to me & when they do it for Christmas songs, it really leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

i havent heard a proper reggea xmas song but i would love to:)

I love them

Love the avatar. Lion of Juddah! I'm Ethiopian and you know we love reggae.

But I've never heard a good reggae tune that was a Christmas song. You have some links to share with us?

I've heard loads of the years. depends on how well they are done and if the singer can sing..

but ironically the probably best known reggae song that comes to mind had nothing to do with xmas.. Besides the obvious choice or Marley etc.

that video was filmed around westborne park/Ladbroke grove which i know very well =)

ofcourse theres other people like aswad etc who are well known, NW london ;-)

but it all depends on the cover version really, there are some people who can totally slaughter a tune in the studio. Others can remain true to the original if that makes sense..

I've heard some very bad and very good covers of songs, so it's all down to the person remaking it.

I have heard of "Ire Christmas", but not sure who sang it.
I also have a "Reggae Christmas" album by the "Rasta Jah Band" incs Bob Marley, Toots and the Maytails, which includes many christmas carols.

Elephant Man - Tall Up Tall Up is the only one I can think of. lol
