    Those are just a few, in this case, a place called pandora.com is your friend
    All I have to do is play music, and make sure it is fist pumpin material.

    "Musical Storeroom" by the Skatellites might do the trick. An old roommate of mine was a BIG time dub-head (strictly King Tubby, Lee Perry, The Scientist, Agustus Pablo, and The Congos for him) and this was one of the few ska songs I remember him playing on more than a few occasions.
