Depends on what kind you are looking for. For starters, I HAVE to recommend "Legend" the greatest hits album by Bob Marley. It is the best primer on "traditional" reggae that I know of. From there, you can move on to Jimmy Cliff and a host of other artists.
Then you have the modern reggae infused hiphop acts. Leading the charge is Ms. Dynamite, followed by (barf) Sean Paul and Shaggy.
Nothing is wrong with Ziggy Marley, nor any of the other of the Marley clan. They all come from greatness.
If you like Dancehall reggae, look into Sean Pauls earlier stuff, or even Snow (the white guy who did "informer"). There are more out there, but I really don't know many of them, save for Bounty Killer.
