Don't know if any of these have already been mentioned but all are well worth checking out.
Lee Scratch Perry - Super Ape
Jah Lion - Columbia Colly
The Congos - Heart of the Congos
Max Romeo - War Inna Babylon
In fact, virtually anything Perry produced at the Black Ark is just sublime.
Also look up Mad Professor, King Tubby, Scientist, Johnny Clarke, Horace Andy, Might Diamonds, Cornell Campbell, Burning Spear, Roots Radics, Martin Campbell, Dixie Peach... I could go on and on. It's a bit of a bottomless subject!
Jah Tubbys label is currently releasing loads of top notch new roots.
