Why is old school dancehall so cool?

I am not really versed in Jamaican dancehall so when I say old school I mean the late 70s and the 80s of dancehall. When it wasn't too rap influenced.

What's good? Is there a Trojan records compilation for dancehall? Or do I have to just console myself with Dancehall Stylee volumes 1, 2 and 3? Of which I only have 2 and 3.

This posts exposes me more to liking Jamaican music. Ska? Check. Dub? Check. Dancehall? Check. Where's my reggae post?
