What Are You Listening To?

Big Youth - Screaming Target


One of the great reggae records....everyone should hear this

The musical creativity of the Jamaican people astounds

[hutch]

Bob Marley and the Wailers- Best of the Wailers


Not a best of....Leslie Kong production from 1970....in my opinion does not work well...The same production so successful for the Maytals and Pioneers does not work for Wailers

Supposedly Bunny Wailer did not want it released and said something like May Leslie drop dead if he puts it out...Leslie put it out and promptly had a massive heart attack

Some people really like this album

From this failed experience they moved on to lee Perry...they were in trouble but with Perry had success and the rest is history

Bob Dylan - Biograph

Talk Talk - Laughing Stock

Reggae reggae dub dub dub


Listening to King Tubby meets the aggrovators at dub station (Tommy McCook)....I wonder if he was with Skatalites when I saw them at 930 with sidehatch...would love to think so

The blood and fire heavyweight 2 sampler


It is amazing how King Tubby lived in relative obscurity and there are but s handful of pictures of him...and his story has yet to be told


A true legend with an outsized influence on modern music...

When Bunny Lee goes a huge part of musical history will die with him

[hutch]

Dylan- Street legal


I like this one..I guess the cover foreshadowed his concern with religion

[excontradiction]

Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict

Never gets old.

Now this is rawk

A band I missed back in the day....I definitely prefer them to Queens other than “R”
