i know him by name, but I've never listened to him.

I can barely remember some of his songs, but they were catchy. It was mostly passive listening, like a song of his playing in a commercial or movie. I've never downloaded or bought any of his stuff though. I'm not sure if I consider myself a reggae fan, though I love two brazilian reggae bands VERY much (and own all of their CDs - one of them have switched to pop rock and don't sing reggae anymore), because their reggae songs are extremely catchy; I also like MIKA NAKASHIMA's reggae songs like Seppun and RESISTANCE.
