Famous All Time Reggae Artists
“One good thing about music, when it hits-you feel no pain” – Bob Marley
Reggae was first developed in the 1960′s in Jamaica and it originates from two Jamaican music styles – Ska and Rocksteady. However, Reggae is slower than both these styles. It is also influenced by Calypso, and R&B. Even though if someone does not know what reggae is, they would have still heard of famous reggae songs like No Woman No Cry, Angel, Red Red Wine, etc.

Best Sad Songs
There are good days and there are bad days, just like there are nondescript days and days that just ramble by. And then there are the really bad days, when all you can be thankful for is the certainty that it will end – days when you seem to embody a working model of Murphy’s Law, and everything that can go wrong, will, and somethings that couldn’t possibly go wrong, well, they do too. These are the days, when nothing helps more than a good old cry – and the best sad songs can nudge you in the right direction, even if you don’t need them to. Then there are those phases in life – the break ups that show no signs of make ups, the relationships that hurt, the quirks of fate that laugh and the luck that certainly doesn’t behave like a lady. Those are the phases where you don’t even need a reason to cry – life seems to be giving you ample opportunity. But for the times you do, it always helps to have a list of the best sad songs at hand. Take a look at my top picks for tear jerkers below.
Best Sad Songs Ever
Now while I will admit that there are times that you don’t need a reason for the tears to flow thick and fast, there are times, when solitude and haunting melodies go hand in hand, and actually soothe a troubled soul. The year gone by wasn’t a great one as far as sad songs go, though the best sad songs of 2010, would definitely include ‘Love the Way You Lie’ by Eminem featuring Rihanna. You may be like me who likes music for what it is, untroubled by the classifications and bindings of genre, or may be a die hard fan of some remote sect of ancient tribal sounds, but if you’re willing to give it a whirl, and expand your horizons, these are the top sad songs of all time.
