1	Soca Thriller (2000) more music like this by Byron Lee & The Dragonaires While Byron Lee & the Dragonaires have been on top of the soca scene for decades, Soca Thriller, their 20th album, supplies mostly pedestrian soca tunes, full of fun and energy but little else that's memorable. The performances on the 15-song CD don't stand out a lot, the bouncy rhythms just blend together, until the last six tunes, which shine ... see all copies from $4.94! new only from $14.56!
2	Putumayo Kids Presents: Caribbean Playground (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Part of the World Playground series on the new sublabel Putumayo Kids, Caribbean Playground takes a nice little romp through the Caribbean, making stops at most of the major islands and including a bit from elsewhere. The course of the album bounces around from location to location, but since this is a kids' album, it keeps a light sound. To ... see all copies from $7.59! new only from $13.37!
3	16 Carnival Hits (1992) more music like this by Mighty Sparrow & Lord Kitchener Two of Trinidad's greatest calypsonians -- both of whom excelled into the age of soca -- on one disc? It's like heaven. After all, these two dominated Trinidad's Carnival Road March from 1956-1972, and a number of those winning songs are here, from Sparrow's "May May" to Kitchener's "Miss Tourist." But simply, there's not a single dud among the 16 ... see all copies from $5.25! new only from $5.25!
4	1 on 1 (2004) more music like this by Rupee see all copies from $16.31! new only from $16.31!
5	Klassic Kitchener, Vol. 2 (1994) more music like this by Lord Kitchener Here is fairly classic Kitchener, with a warm recommendation but also a caveat for the hyper-buffs. John Storm Roberts, Original Music, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.39! new only from $12.75!
6	Volume One (2000) more music like this by Mighty Sparrow Well, yes, of course, it's run-don't-walk time. This baker's dozen of songs revealed Sparrow as the greatest calypsonian of the post-WWII era, and arguably of all recorded time -- "Jean and Dinah," "Sparrow Come Back Home" and "Obeah Wedding" are perhaps the biggest gems, but nothing here is less than a diamond of the purest ray serene. John ... see all copies from $10.61! new only from $12.75!
7	Wine Down (1992) more music like this by Byron Lee & the Dragonaires Probably the least interesting of the those listed, it's a hit nonetheless. Gene Scaramuzzo, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.50! new only from $7.51!
8	Hot Like Fire (1992) more music like this by Mighty Sparrow In a move that brought enough controversy to enliven conversations for the next year, Sparrow re-entered the Monarchy competition in 1992 with "Both of Them" from this album. He won, but that's another story. Gene Scaramuzzo, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.85!
9	Classic Kitchener, Vol. 1 (2000) more music like this by Lord Kitchener see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
10	Volume Two (1992) more music like this by Mighty Sparrow Mighty Sparrow defined modern calypso, completely dominating the scene from the mid-'50s on to the late-'70s arrival of soca, so these Ice compilations of his best songs are pretty much a godsend as a starting point for newcomers. He developed a quintessential Caribbean "long live the living" persona, and Volume 2 is a very strong collection of ... see all copies from $11.28! new only from $12.75!
11 view cover	Klassic Kitchener, Vol. 3 (1994) more music like this by Lord Kitchener Ironically, this set of early soca is the best of the Kitchener collections so far. First, it has all his major songs of the 1970s, including the great "Pan in A Minor." Second it shows him contriving, like no other calypsonian of his generation, to move into the new idiom while keeping the freshness and variety of the old one. As a bonus, it's ... see all copies from $10.61! new only from $12.75!
12 view cover	Extreme Soca, Vol. 1 [CD/DVD] (2007) more music like this by D-Life see all copies from $9.47! new only from $9.47!
13 view cover	Live at Notting Hill (1981) more music like this by Eddy Grant What better venue for an Eddy Grant performance than London's Notting Hill Carnival? The capitol's cosmopolitan denizens hail from around the world, and its large West Indian contingent guaranteed that the artist received an exuberant welcome, although it's clear from the record that his white fans were equally elated. Recorded live at the 1981 ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $6.00!
14 view cover	Dig (1991) more music like this by Burning Flames Remixes of some of the band's best late-'80s output surprisingly de-emphasize the frenzied tempos that first made them famous. Gene Scaramuzzo, All Music Guide see all copies from $16.24!
15 view cover	Street Suite (197?) more music like this by Touch Coming directly from playing live with some of the finest hard rock bands of the era, Touch entered the studio to record their only album in 1968, released the following year in a limited pressing of 100 LPs. This Gear Fab reissue collects that entire album with the original lineup's two non-LP 45s, three songs recorded by the altered post-LP ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $18.45!
16 view cover	Soul on Fire (2005) more music like this by KMC see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
17 view cover	Africa in America: Music from 19 Countries (1993) more music like this by Various Artists Featured is African-influenced or -derived music from all over the Americas. Besides the usual santeria, vaudou, merengue, son, punta, cadence, plena and so on are some unexpected charmers: an Antiguan pan soca band that cooks like few steel drum group ever heard, a Dominican reggae about Mozambique, but no Jamaican reggae. There is no trimming of ... see all copies from $16.99!
18 view cover	Kevin Lyttle (2004) more music like this by Kevin Lyttle The travel bureau of St. Vincent -- the island soca singer Kevin Lyttle hails from -- claims their paradise has "More Fun! More Flair! More Fantasy!" Same could be said of Kevin Lyttle's debut; just put a couple extra exclamation points after "Fantasy." Lyttle's breezy and dreamy voice supplies the flair, lilting lightly over a musical background ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $6.75!

20 view cover	Knock Dem Dead (1988) more music like this by Arrow This disc continues Arrow's fusion experiments and includes Zulu soca, Latin soca, and heavy metal soca courtesy of guitar ace Chris Newland. J. Poet, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.50! new only from $4.50!
21 view cover	Fast Forward (1999) more music like this by Square One see all copies from $29.98! new only from $29.98!
22 view cover	Volume Four (1994) more music like this by Mighty Sparrow The Ice series of Mighty Sparrow releases goes back to the beginnings here, with a strong collection of his prime late-'50s/early-'60s material. It was songs like "May May" that helped make Sparrow the undisputed king, the man in modern calypso in Trinidad until the soca wave arrived to challenge him in the late '70s. Musically, it's calypso ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
23	So in Love with You [Remix] (1995) more music like this by Duke see all copies from $2.89! new only from $2.89!
24 view cover	Rough Guide to Calypso & Soca (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Another volume of the usually excellent Rough Guide to World Music series, this collection presents the traditional music of the Caribbean, focusing on calypso and soca. Also presented is a more modern form -- rapso -- which combines the sound of the islands with a club-oriented heavy beat. This is an entertaining and educational compilation. ... see all copies from $4.14! new only from $13.16!
