Sorry for the hijack, but there several popular songs have a heavy reggae influence. Off the top of my head are these (like a lotta people here, I'm "of a certain age;" most of these songs are from the 70s and 80s):

Hotel California (Eagles)

Walking on the Moon (The Police)

D'yer Mak'er (Led Zeppelin)

Fool in the Rain (Led Zeppelin)

Red Red Wine (UB40)

Every Little Thing She Does is Magic (The Police)

I Shot the Sheriff (Eric Clapton)

Don't Stand So Close to Me (The Police)

The Tide is High (Blondie)


Gonna be hard for anybody to say that they hate all of those tunes... Why Can't we be Friends (War)?
