We are now into our “millenial” week where we will mark the fact that we will reach Post # 1000 before week’s end.  There will be some fantastic shares this week, a few interviews, and a few surprises.  I kicked off the week early yesterday with my Flabba Holt interview, which was revealing to say the least.

So this is the week where the editors of MIDNIGHT RAVER will reveal their favorite 5 reggae LPs of all time, and share a mix comprised of the 3 best tracks from each album.  These may not be considered the 5 best reggae albums of all time, but they are our favorites nonetheless.

So, after posting here hundreds of times over the past 2 years, here are my 5 favorite reggae albums in no particular order:
