Slaves 2 Di Riddim: some essential riddims

Even though its the vocal style and the lyrics of the Dj that get the 'forwards' Dancehall, especially today, is nothing without the "riddim" track, which traces its lineage back to the foundation days of dub. A plethora of riddims exist, but these in my mind, will be talked about for as long as the genre is discussed. Waht are your thoughts?

"Sleng Teng"
"Diwali"
"Drop Leaf"
"Playground"
Backyard"
"Joyride"
"Pepperseed"
"Military"
"Bhangra"
"Streetsweeper"

Enjoy the rest of the Christmas. After Fridasy, I'll start some provisional lists
