    Best Album is Two Sevens Clash by Culture. (Nods to Henry Irving)

    5 Tracks? Reggae has had such a massive influence on my taste this is going to be tough but here goes in no order:

    Night Nurse 10" Discomix Cool Ruler
    Guess who's coming to dinner? (Natty Dreadlock) Black Uhuru
    Songs my Mother used to sing Dennis Brown
    Could you be loved? Bob Marley
