This is a game that I've pulled off of another board: Name some albums that you feel are good morning listens and some that should only be played in the afternoon or evening. Generally it's based on how heavy/intense an album is, but feel free to go with your instincts.

I play Rastafaris by Peter Tosh in the morning (sort of my prayer) & Bamboklaat (PT)when down and tired after work. They both soothes my soul

I'll name a few of mine.

Bunny Wailer's "Blackheart Man" and Augustus Pablo's "East of the River Nile" both work very well as morning albums (or for closing out the evening) because they tend towards the mellow side.

I find that something like Augustus Pablo's "King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown" or Lee Perry's "Super Ape" are better afternoon albums, being heavier fare. The kind of people that chase their coffee with a slug of Red Bull (you know who you are!) may feel differently.
