Stuff you're embarrassed not to have heard...

[Mosiah]

Even as earnest reggae enthusiasts, there are most of the times classics and/or big titles you for some reason never got around to buy/hear and that sometimes can feel quite embarrassing. So what are the "obvious" albums or songs you, as a long time listner, are yet to experience?

I go first with Keith Hudson's "Pick A Dub". Supposedly a landmark dub album, still unheard of to me.

[Bobbo]

yeah you need to hear that ...like now!

there's a bunch of dancehall stuff like Frankie Paul and others tht I need to hear.more of..i'm more into 70's dub, but i've gotta check out more 80's stuff.

i don't own any chris blackwell wailers albums, sure i've heard all those songs loads of times, just never bothered with those LPs. got all the upsetter/studio one albums though.

Confession: Never got around to listening to Grounation by Count Ossie & the Mystic Revelation of Rastafari. It's relaxing and meditative, but a little Nyabingi drumming goes a long way....Sacrilege!

[Rocky VIII]

Pablo Moses stuff. Never checked it

[Congo Bunny]

Hmmm I can't think of much that I have knowingly missed.

I haven't heard any Jah Shaka productions but that is set to change.With his recent re-releases on emusic etc

I'm at the stage where the stuff I haven't heard is the stuff that hasn't been rereleased

Frankie Paul stuff!

I've read in a Joseph "Jo Jo" Hoo Kim's interview that Frankie Paul is one of the greatest voice(i think he said the best) in jamaican music.
