Interesting selection Fredric Roots. Even though I wouldn't have the Hugh Maddo on my top 10 I understand why one would. Super duper album. When it comes to Maytones, Wailing Souls and Yellowman I'm thinking I also would have them.

Only problem with reggae is that there is at least 100 top 10 albums...

In no order, and not enough:
* Congos - Heart Of The Congos
* Barrington Levy - Robin Hood
* Scientist - Heavyweight Dub Champion
* Bim Sherman - Lovers Leap Showcase
* Jackie Opel - Cry Me A River
* Blues Busters - Behold...How Sweet It Is
* Gregory Isaacs - Extra Classic
* I Roy - Presenting I Roy
* U Roy - Version Galore
* The Gaylads - Soul Beat
