Bob Marley

Let's face it, is anyone really going to say nay?

Bob Marley is one of the most important musicians ever and I certainly wouldn't say nay, but I know a few people that can't stand reggae at all-I've never gotten a clear answer as to exactly why.

Yay!!!!!!! :D

But I 've somehow connected reggae music with summer on my mind... on a hot summerday sunbathing next to the sea, playing backgammon with a friend, drinking a cold beer and listening to Bob Marley...

...okay... I'm back to winter mood!!!! :xmasschef2:

brilliant in many senses but as reggae goes he is more like reggae-lite.

Yeah, lacks the political job, say, Peter Tosh had.

exactly. they strike as the two sides of lennon divided up...political n idealist.

Yeah, and Peter once dedicated his version of "Get Up, Stand Up" to Bob. Sort of calling him a sellout cause the early Wailers stuff like "Soul Rebels" was very political and not in a hippie-ish way, real anarchist stuff.

"Revolution" is pretty militant.

That was on "Natty Dread". "Rastaman Vibration" and later are clearly different politically.

Alright, all I have is Natty, but I knew it was after the breakup.
