Eh, I'm not so sure. Certainly, Burning Spear has always been one of the Unfuckwithables, one of the pillars of classic roots—his reputation is sealed.

Good stuff. I'd add albums by:
The Abyssinians (Satta Massagana is really THE roots album, IMO)
Barrington Levy (His "Bounty Hunter"-era stuff was tops)
The ORIGINAL Wailers albums (Bob Marley vs. Lee "Scratch" Perry: The Best is great)
Cornel Campbell (Queen of the Minstrel—my GOD that voice!)
Delroy Wilson
Dennis Brown (I…

Black Boo-hoo-hoo. Man, that band was downbeat. Production was great, but christ what a bunch of whiners.

It is, but it's dub, not roots. Different discussion.

Yeah, in a way, the Madlib album is a great intro to early reggae, ska, and rocksteady, because it combines snippets of dozens of the great albums in one quick shot.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious that's the only reggae album you own.

Yeah, Blackheart Man is wonderful. It's also a great kid's album because it's (for the most part) so gentle and beautiful.

The original Blood and Fire release is great. It was originally released with a paper case that contained the original album, the dubs, and an art book that presented each song as a mixed medium image—it was quite something. It was also quite fragile, so I wouldn't count on finding one, but the later jewel case one…

That might have been a bit of hyperbole, but it does bring to light the fact that Stink is MUCH better than people give it credit for, such a raw, rockin' album. "White and Lazy" is the best Pussy Galore song they never recorded.

Yeah, I mean it's not like we're asking for information about a band that's been relevant in the last 25 years—what's wrong with us?

Give us some money. You bastard.

The problem with Pandora is that—from an algorithm perspective—it's an idiot. Unless you want it to play some insanely broad category, like "1970s music," it can't figure out genres to save its life. I gave up on glam rock when after downvoting about 100 songs I was still getting Thomas Dolby and Jimi Hendrix, and my…

I believe you mean a whiskey sippin', joint smokin', tattoo gettin' break, brother.

I think people hate Tara not because her character is stupid, but because she's a stupid character—her entire existence on the show makes no sense, and the show constantly has to bend and stretch to justify her contrived reality.

Yeah, it had so much screen time in this episode it should have gotten its own credit.

Yes. I believe the Spanish refer to it as "Ibiza."

If the ICP can scrape together about $5K, couldn't they just buy Detroit? It could be New Juggalotown. Motto: Fuckin' meth labs? Here's how they work!

Oh yes, this. Both sides can battle to the death and rid the world of their excruciating cults. Imagine a Bay Area free of Burners, oh, the glory of it.

Or you could spend 30 second on Spotify and find 670 Wes Anderson soundtrack playlists.

Didn't the singer for this band go batshit insane or something?
