That's kind of like asking for the best ROCK song ever.
 
 Off the top of my head:
 
 Rock Steady -- Desmond Dekker -- Israelites
 
 Dub -- Black Uhuru -- Dub of Englington
 Lee Perry -- Police & Thieves
 
 Roots -- Peter Tosh -- Brand New Secondhand
 Culture -- See Them Come
 
 Dancehall -- Ini Kamoze -- Jump for Jah

GGW and I are clearly both reggae dorks, so I'll see what I can do...
 
 Dub â??
 Bunny Lee/King Tubby & The Aggrovators, "This Is The Hardest Version"
 Lee Perry & The Upsetters, "Callying Butt Dub"
 
 Dub (vocal) â?? Linton Kwesi Johnson, "Five Nights of Bleeding"
 
 Roots â?? Burning Spear, "Marcus Garvey" (definite candidate for alltime best)
 
 Rocksteady â?? Heptones, "Babylon Falling"
