Hands down one of my favorite groups of all time. There are only two groups who's albums I would buy without having heard a single track or review. The Roots are one of those groups.
Well, to be fair, I haven't heard or purchased Wake Up! a collaboration with John Legend. I am not a huge fan of Organix but everything from Do You Want More?!!!??! to How I Got Over will forever have a place on my iPod.
I had a buddy ask me to put together some new (to him) music and I immediately asked him if he had heard any Roots tracks. He had heard a few, liked some, but not all. I agreed to put together a recommended playlist for him but with so much music (8 albums in my collection anyway) I didn't really know how to pull my favorite tracks for him. Well...I thought I would just go through each album, list the tracks and just highlight the ones I liked and why. I figured if I was going to go through that much effort, I might as well document it.
This is clearly too much for one post...so I'll just start with Do You Want More?
