I feel your pain! My iPod was loaded with Buffett, Marley and other assorted "island" tunes, but one of the others had all 80's rock and that's what we ended up listening to most of the time. We were outnumbered! Unfortunately, it just takes away from the island feel that we so want to enjoy.

I like steel pan. Robert Symons, the Kindred, and the Toucans. We heard a steel pan group play "Perfidia" on Tortola back in the 90's, and never forgot it.
Am stocking our new Zune MP3 player with that for our June trip.

The soundtrack album " The Harder They Come "--- Jimmy Cliff - [or even rent the movie]. It makes the most lethargic lifeforms get up and dance island style.

I need to add a non-Buffett song to the list:
"Brandy (You're A Fine Girl)" by Looking Glass

Exit Zero - great recommendation. Another good Jimmy Cliff loaded album is Club Paradise but I can't find it anywhere except on ebay and I refuse to pay 40 to 100 bucks for it there when I know it's a bootleg cuz the same person lists it all the time.
If any one knows where you can get it without paying exhorbatant prices, let me know cuz right now, I only have the album. The only song you can get from it off of iTunes is "Third World People".
