You wanna pick the songs or artists, go 'head. But asking which island is a useless debate.

Well of course, each islands soca has its own flavour so you will find that most people will say there island.



Here is a much better question.
Not including your own island, which Island had the best Soca songs for the past 10 years?

I agree with you but i can tell u guys this and it hurts to say, bahamas, usvi, bvi, st. kitts, antigua, dominica and st. lucia for sure did'nt make the cut as far as consistantly producing soca hits for the masses.

Now grenada in my eye's barely made the cut in my book and i love my jab jab tunes to death lord knows, but not as successfull in producing world hits.

I rate st. vincent soca because they were able to create international hits with in the past ten years and still is making hits not necessarily international but big hits.

So that leaves us we Trinidad and Bardados...now we all know that those two countries dominate the soca industry....up until Ricky T and Problem Child gave them a run for there money in 2007! 07 change the game

You gotta be crazy for posting this part right here, St lucia been producing nuff songs and riddims - dunno what you listening to but you probably didn't hear all of the stuff lucians had to offer.

Not useless per se but it's going to trouble. Especially depending on how you judge "best soca hits"

I mean, from what I've heard (which may not be fair to other islands I didn't get exposed to back when), I'd say the islands that had the most quality hits over the last 10 years were St. Kitts, Barbados, Trinidad

Popularity in soca fetes in Toronto, I'd say Trinidad, Barbados and Vincy

Quantity is going to go to Trinidad and Barbados but look how big those islands are compared to places like St. Kitts, Antigua, etc..

All around (which is what I think the poster is trying to get at) for me would be Trini and/or Barbados.

Say you never heard them, because they did not get the airplay they deserved. I can name Tonik Band out of Antigua.

yes lucia have made plenty hits and riddims but i don't think lucia made enuff noise all across the world...Now Ricky is a game changer in the soca game and he is shining a bright light on lucia extremely!

as fur as antigua goes Burning Flames has consistantly made noise, not one soca club i ever been to has not played BF and CP chunes, but i feel antigua have'nt consistant on multi hits year to year
