Whats the best reggae album?!
Question: You didn't indicate whether you wanted modern reggae or any era, or what sub-genre, but still these would be my picks as five all-time classics:
Legalize It - Peter Tosh
Super Ape - Lee "Scratch" Perry
Raiders of the Lost Dub - Sly Dunbar & Robbie Shakespeare
Catch a Fire - Bob Marley & the Wailers
The Harder They Come - Jimmy Cliff/
Also worth checking out are Steel Pulse, Black Uhuru and other sub-genres like dub, ska and rocksteady.
For a British take on the genre, try UB40's debut album, "Signing Off", a worthwhile listen.
