Just got back from Ibiza where some of the beaches have Jamaican beach bars that play nothing but reggae tunes from early morning to late at night and I have to say that I never tired of it once.

They played all versions of reggae from Horace Faiths singalong 'Black Pearl' and Althea & Donnas 'Uptown Top Ranking' to the more modern day stuff with lots of references marijuana and super skunk.

There's something about the sun and the sand and reggae music that gets the blood pumping - a winning combination.
