      I am that I am - Peter Tosh, all his albums until Wanted Dread and Alive
      Youths of Eglington - Black Uhuru, all their albums released on the Island label
      African Race - Abyssinians - everything
      Warrior Charge - Aswad - everything between Showcase and Distant thunder
      Just another dance - Bunny Wailer - everything until Marketplace
      Hush Darling - Gregory Isaacs (my favorite artist of them all, I had the privilege of working with him and I feel blessed)
      Night Nurse - Gregory Isaacs
      Secretary - Gregory Isaacs
      Mi Come Again - Gregory Isaacs
      Material Man - Gregory Isaacs
      more Gregory Isaacs
      and some more (everything until 1984)
      anything produced by Sly & Robbie between 1976 and 1985, then Tease Me by Chaka Demus & Pliers, X Uhuru (the album they did for Michael Rose)
      Games with Love - Bitty McLean (which I produced with Sly & Robbie and Bitty last year)
      Any Burning Spear until 1984
      All of Slim Smith
      The first 3 Ijahman albums
      Pablo Moses - A Song, Pave the way, Confession of A Rastaman, Mission
      Buju Banton - Til Shiloh
      Gladiatos - all their albums released on the Frontline label and Back to roots (which I was privileged to reissue on CD 10 years ago)

      I could list about 2.000 Reggae tunes that I think are essential, but we need some room for other genres:

      ALL of Fela Kuti
      ALL of the Stones until Steel Wheels with my favorite being Emotional Rescue and Some Girls
      Bob Dylan = Desire, Infidels (with Sly & Robbie!), Street Legal, his first 3 albums too, Live at Budokan, Slow train coming
      All of the Grace Jones albums produced by Sly & Robbie
      Dr Dre and the album he produced for Snoop

      so much more: African, Salsa, more Reggae, reggae reggae reggae

      One last thing: PLEASE DO NOT DOWNLOAD, buy the music to support us small indie producers, us small artists. Buy less but buy good stuff! Thank you

        Burning Spear live in Paris in 1988, so majestic (notice the female horn section), a mystical experience

        Enjoy!

              originally purchasing this cd at a tender age of 7 years old for the track "If I Ruled The World" it would take me a few years and some listen throughs to truly appreciate how amazing Nas was and still is. It Was Written, one of my favorite albums of all time.

                            Mrs. P, its because if number one crush was a song that reminded you of when you two first started dating, #1 Crush by Garbage is also like track 1 on the soundtrack to the movie. i just strung together the info and decided that this was highly likely… i too am a huge fan of that movie. hahhahaha  😘 😘 and i think it was this version that really captured my attention when i was way younger (in a single digit age) because this R+J had guns, and guns are cool to play with at arcades on the video games!  😉 a little boy with a desire for destructive weapons = 90's influence. hehehehe, just kidding!

                            anyways, off of the soundtrack, my favorite song is probably...

                              I studied R&J at school, too many years ago.  Agree, the Baz Luhrmann film version was incredible, using the original Shakespearean script, but so brilliantly putting everything into a contempary and cool setting.  I'm gonna dig out the DVD and watch it again.  Am a big fan of Dicaprio, and a HUGE fan of Radiohead, and Talk Show Host is one of their best!
                              😘
                              Don't apologise for liking the guns, so did I - did you notice, in the film all the guns had names?  Sorry, could go on for hours…!  Listening to film soundtrack as I post...
                              😉

                              p.s. another fave film of mine - WELL before your time, and nearly before mine - is West Side Story, based on R&J, have you seen it?  Knock-out soundtrack, albeit a bit dated in places.

                                        This thread should just be called "What are you listening to?" or Music…

                                        On that note, I guarantee 99% of you will hate this shit but I grew up as a little gromlet on this stuff. For those of you who know...
