What a great list! My dad wrote the liner notes on some of the albums listed above. He'll be stoked to hear roots reggae is being talked about on MOG.

You work fast, Cody. I bookmarked your original post but hadn't gotten back to it. Don't know how Roots this list is supposed to be, but I'll add:

Toots & the Maytals Live

Dillinger - Cokane On My Brain

Linton Kwesi Johnson - Forces of Victory

Tapper Zukie - Man Ah Warrior

Those last two are probably a little outside the category, but they're great albums every song.
