1	Journey to Addis (1978) more music like this by Third World Probably the first and best fusion of reggae and soul music by a reggae group. Third World was looking to sell records worldwide and not just in Jamaica and England, and while the band's fusion of these genres may have infuriated the die-hard Rasta man, it helped the music reach a larger base. After the opening "One Cold Vibe," a melodic reggae ... see all copies from $5.14! new only from $5.14!
2	Committed (1992) more music like this by Third World Committed not only proclaimed Third World's renewed commitment to reggae and Rastafarian culture, but it also signaled the group's new label and theoretical new start. From the bold red, gold, and green of the Ethiopian flag on the CD's back cover to the equally prominent Lion of Judah, Third World was intent on displaying where their heart was. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $18.90!

4	Hold on to Love (1987) more music like this by Third World see all copies from $5.45!
5	Ultimate Collection (2001) more music like this by Third World Although they achieved their first big break opening for the legendary Bob Marley, Third World always embellished -- some would argue diluted -- their reggae with hefty elements of soul, pop, worldbeat, and R&B. While that infuriated Jamaican purists, it allowed them to achieve worldwide crossover popularity. With their cover of the O'Jays' Gamble ... see all copies from $13.42! new only from $13.42!
6	Magnum Opus (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Magnum Opus: 20 Dance Masterpieces is a double-disc set that includes some of the best dance singles of the '70s and '80s, spanning disco, funk, soul, and house. There were so many great singles that came from this era that it would be impossible to come up with something definitive in the space of two discs. The greatest strength of this ... see all copies from $25.07! new only from $25.07!
7	Generation Coming (1999) more music like this by Third World After a re-grouping and three year hiatus, reggae's crossover kings returned with Generation Coming, an album that delivers the kind of accessible if tame, pop-flavored reggae that their fans have come to expect. The title track captures the band at their best, with a bouncy beat and hopeful lyrics. The cover tunes don't fare as well, with Third ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
8	All the Way Strong (1983) more music like this by Third World Third World's combination of reggae and pop was in the forefront on their second release for the Columbia label in 1983, All the Way Strong. While this isn't the most memorable record in Third World's large discography, it is worth checking out for fans, especially since it was reissued by Collectables in 2004 as part of their Budget Collection ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $3.00!
9	Sense of Purpose (1985) more music like this by Third World Third World's self-produced Sense of Purpose fused the group's forward-thinking reggae sound with some of the stylistic changes that were occurring during the mid-'80s. The band, which was coming off a number 23 R&B hit, "Try Jah Love" (written and produced by Stevie Wonder), incorporated hip-hop/dance influences into the title track single, ... see all copies from $3.00!
10	You've Got the Power (1982) more music like this by Third World When Third World collaborated with Stevie Wonder, the reggae band was rewarded with their second highest charting single, "Try Jah Love," a Top 25 R&B hit. Its follow-up was another Wonder-written and produced single, the ominous-toned "You're Playing Us Too Close," which perfectly captures some of the '80s-era concerns of people of color. Other ... see all copies from $6.42!
11	Serious Business (1989) more music like this by Third World Although it's filled with more pop than reggae, Serious Business represents a pivotal time for Third World. The talented group had spent the '70s and early '80s riding the precarious wave between roots reggae and pop-oriented, crossover reggae. Released in 1989, Serious Business announced the direction that Third World would take from then on. ... see all copies from $3.59! new only from $13.99!
12 view cover	Rock the World (1981) more music like this by Third World One of Third World's best albums, Rock The World was also one of the reggae band's better efforts at bringing reggae into the mainstream. Upbeat cuts like "Dancing on the Floor (Hooked on Love)," "Spritual Revolution," "With a Little Bit of Love," and the instrumental "Hug It Up" are nicely balanced by the mellow "There's No Need to Question Why" ... see all copies from $8.00!

14 view cover	Jammin' Rap (1989) more music like this by Various Artists Offering the best-known artists and songs, this 23-track sampler is one of the best single disc introductions to reggae. Chris Woodstra, All Music Guide see all copies from $17.98! new only from $17.98!
15 view cover	Heartbeat Reggae Now! (1993) more music like this by Various Artists An 18-song sampler drawn from the extensive reggae catalog of Heartbeat Records, this consistent set includes Burning Spear's horn-driven "I Stand Strong," Culture's gently bouncing "Trod On," and the Abyssinians' majestic "Declaration of Rights" along with several nascent dancehall cuts from Yami Bolo, Frankie Paul, and others. It isn't the end ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $27.59!
16 view cover	Reggae Dance Party, Vol. 2 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Rebound's Reggae Dance Party II may play a little fast and loose with the term "reggae" -- Culture Club's "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me," Billy Ocean's "When the Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going" and especially Buster Poindexter's "Hot Hot Hot" and Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry Be Happy" are nowhere near reggae -- but it nevertheless is a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.23!
17 view cover	Rockers [Original Soundtrack] (1980) more music like this by Various Artists Music is integral to this seminal Jamaican film, as it follows the exploits of drummer Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace, who plays himself, and featuring a myriad of other denizens of the music industry in lead roles and bit parts. The movie itself was awash in music, which pours out of clubs, studios, record shops, and radios. The soundtrack features ... see all copies from $11.03! new only from $11.03!
18 view cover	The Best of Third World (1993) more music like this by Third World The Best of Third World is a strong 11-track collection featuring most of the reggae group's best-known songs, including "Sense of Purpose," "Rock Me, " "You're Playing Us Too Close, " "Jah, Jah Children Moving Up, " "How Can You" and "One Song (Nyahbinghi)."

20 view cover	Black Gold & Green (2005) more music like this by Third World Roots fans who have trouble coming to terms with Third World's embracing of pop and slick are going to find Black Gold & Green the most positive step forward the band has taken in a decade or so, but nearly as uneven and frustrating as usual. The opening title track is an effervescent and ultimately empty ode to their island home, but it's the ... see all copies from $10.88! new only from $10.88!
21 view cover	Reggae Greats (1985) more music like this by Third World A decent place to start on reggae's longest-lasting pop ensemble. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $12.00! new only from $13.59!

24 view cover	Reggae Dance Party, Vol. 1 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Rebound's Reggae Dance Party, Vol. 1 may play a little fast and loose with the term "reggae" -- Blondie's "The Tide Is High" is a reggae song done pop, Billy Ocean's "Caribbean Queen (No More Love on the Run)" is a pop song pure and simple -- but it nevertheless is a very entertaining record that's perfect for a party, thanks to such songs as the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
25 view cover	Reggae on the River, Pt. 1 [Single Disc] (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Reggae on the River, Pt. 1 includes a range of Jamaican as well as African artists, including Luckey Dub, Angelique Kidjo, Baaba Maal, Third World, Wailing Souls, and Jimmy Cliff.
