Your 3 Favorites Roots Albums

[Thomas]

Three I've been playing recently:
Jack Ruby presents the Black Foundation (Heartbeat)
Noel Ellis (L.I.T.A)
Wayne Jarrettt - Chip In (Greensleeves)

[Lady DJ]

Of course its imposible to have only 3 favourites albums... but, to answer the topic, there's some of them:

Jah Shaka & Twinkle Brothers - rasta surface
Dr Alimantado - best dressed chicken in town
Hugh mundell - africa must be free

[picaraza]

Three or four Burning Spear albums could easily top my list, but these three are really special to me because I was completely blindsided by their brilliance.

I had no idea what I was about to hear and was just blown away.

* Joe Higgs *Life of Contradiction*
* Prince Alla *Heaven Is My Roof*
* Keith Hudson *Flesh Of My Skin, Blood Of My Blood*

[Luke B]

Too hard to answer definitely, but at first reaction I would say:

1. Little Roy - Tafari Earth Uprising
2. Va - Black Slavery Days
3. Johnny Osbourne - Truth & Rights

[Moses]

Don Carlos - Day to Day Living
Big Youth - Dread Locks Dread
Yabby You - Jesus Dread (Comp.)

[greg]

without question top 3 on my list is

1. [cover=2083,2451]

2. [cover=127,131]

3. [cover=42,41]

[tinker greene]

[G_Dubble]

Prince Lincoln - Natural Wild
Misty In Roots - Jah Sees... Jah Knows
Burning Spear - Man In The Hills/Dry & Heavy

Roots at its purest level. Nuttin but slammin riddims and conscious lyrics. Get these albums, you won't be disappointed.

Jah Bless and One Love.
