Sorry Joe.......you just failed your own thread. You CAN'T say name your top 10 & then proceed to name 10......PLUS another batch.
Having said that, solid list. 1 guy you didn't mention that you should check out is Gene Mitchell. He's 1 that got me hooked into the genre!

I will see if ITunes has some Gene Mitchell, what CD do you recommend??

I know I flunked... It was so hard to pick 10. Oh well Pick your top 25.. I am just wondering what everyone likes..

I have to attach myself to Chris' list!

Is a "Trop Rock" category on the horizon for the Grammy Awards in the near future?

Here he is wearing the shirt....not on stage though...I'll be seeing him in a few weeks, I'll ask him to wear it so I can get a pic.

I like Jim Morris the best of all. There are lots of good tropical anthems in his catalog.
Also like Brent Burns and Kelly McGuire is great too...We need a new cd from him.
Jimmy Parrish and Ocean Waves' new cd is good.
There's Jake & The Half Conched Band of course.

Top 10:
Jim Morris - far and away my favorite, he puts on a great show!
Sunny Jim
Howard Livingston
Brent Burns
The Boat Drunks
The Mango Men
Scott Kirby
Jake and the Half-Conched Band
Eric Stone
Tropical Soul

John Friday gets an Honorable Mention, I still have to get his new CD, but I like what I heard so far on Beachfront Radio

The new Bob Karwin & Dennis Davis CD's are awesome.... I recommend them to everyone

John Friday's is d@mn good.
Homemade Wine's "Music For the Salty Soul" is excellent. I love "Take Me Down To the Tropics"...This is a must have cd.
I don't think I have taken Jake's new "Salt in My Veins" one out of my cd player since I got it. Another must have CD!

Browsing a record store the other day I was wishing there was a "Trop Rock" section and some collection of Trop Rock artist available for the CD player in my car.

Here's an idea:

1- Surfpirate Records or Surfpirate Studios or something like that
2- Trop Rock artists grant SP permission to generate collection/greatest hits albums- with matching tee shirts, etc for sale
3- % of profits go to Parties That Matter
4- Artist gain broader market share
5- PTM gets a big income bump
6- Bob can put his kids through college
