Dub

If it's proper old-school Jamaican dub you're after, all of these albums are pretty glorious:

 

Observer All Stars & King Tubby's [also called Niney The Observer At King Tubby's on some issues] - Dubbing With The Observer (bought this at Piccadilly Records when I was 18, played it relentlessly ever since)
Niney The Observer - Sledgehammer Dub In The Streets of Jamaica
King Tubby Meets The Aggrovators At Dub Station
King Tubby Meets The Upsetter - At The Grass Roots Of Dub
Lee Perry/The Upsetters - Upsetters 14 Dub Blackboard Jungle [aka Blackboard Jungle Dub]
 

Also, every Lee Perry/The Upsetters album from Africa's Blood (1972) through to Super Ape (1976) has some wonderful stuff on it.

Friday afternoon, just back from work after a swift pint of Guinness and a large smokehead and setup a playlist from Max Romeo - chase the devil. Warren has hit the nail on the head, but to add a bit more (dub and roots)

 

Lee Perry. - Arkology - superb all rounder comp

Small axe - perry and the wailers. - I reckon it's the best Marley ever did

Horace Andy - skylarking

Augustus pAblo - king tubby meets the rockers uptown

Toots and the maytals - 54-46 & pressure drop

Gregory isaacs - in dub

On-u sound crash and slash mix - Adrian sherwood mix - does for dub what cold cut did for hip hop

 

Mainstream ease yer way in stuff:

 

Massive attack vs mad professor

Easy star all stars. - done reggae / dub versions of some classic albums - dub side of the moon is alright, not as good as the flaming lips version

Portishead

 

More left field (than leftfield)

The sabres of paradise. - haunted dancehall - electronica dub from weatherall circa screamadelica

Primal scream - Echodek - smack head Scottish dub - very inch genre but worth a listen

Is it roll in' bob - reggae versions of Dylan, some good, some not so

 

Probably the greatest tune ever:

Lee perry - people funny boy

 

 

Keep away from that dub step shit though, gives yer ear cancer. Lee perry has a dabble but he's like the pele of dub, genius but the cunt gets everywhere.
