Saying you don't like Bob Marley gets you the same kind of lectures that you get when you say you don't like the Beatles. "You just don't understand or appreciate it, allow me to educate you...." Queue a half hour lecture of their importance to not just music but the fundamental fabric of the development of the human race.

His head looks good on a tee-shirt... he's up there with Chairman Mao in the 'looks good on a tee-shirt' department.

I worked in Jamaica and lived opposite Bob Marley's tourist attraction house for 6 months.

He's great but modern Jamaican dancehall/ragga is rubbish. they like the idea of him there more than the music.

That Che t-shirt is actually a Jim Fitzpatrick drawing. Irish artist from Dublin, he gave the drawing to Che's wife in Cuba (he had one back home in Argentina too the auld dog). She gets all the royalties from the image.

O.o, *lectures about The Beatles contributions to society* What music do you like?

One of his best. No one cannot like this

:eek: I was going to give you the mandatory half hour lecture mentioned by the poster below but decided against it. If you don't like even one song, I can't fix whatever is wrong with you in half an hour.

Not necessarily. One of my whiter than white friends with platinum blond hair had amazing looking dreadlocks. Clean, neat and not chunky. They looked very good on her. In fact, I think it's her best look yet.

You shouldn't have said that, now the drones of the hive mind are going to try to assimilate you. Resistance is futile.

Hmmmm, something has to be wrong with me if I don't like Bob Marley?

I don't like smelly dead Rastafarians that looked like they were the offspring of a coconut and a mange riddled hedgehog........plus he was a ****e singer.

Bob is the man.

I love his music and I'm currently loving "pimpers paradise".

Just saw him on BBC4 and this was the first thread I spotted when logging in, what a coincidence.

:eek::eek: Blasphemy!!

Marley transcends the reggae genre, he was a great artist and the songs are as vital and beautiful as ever.

Catch a Fire and Exodus are two of my favourite albums ever and really got me into reggae which I'd dismissed until my late teens as having nothing to say :rolleyes:

Bring back the 70's....

Bob Marley or the Beatles?

I suppose the Beatles did release The Best of The Beatles, so 15-Love to them. Once Bob makes an album as good as that we'll reconsider.

He was Welsh after all!

Yeah the Beatles are pretty crap to be honest. Bob Marley is mediocre, I'm not really going to go out of my way to listen to him.

Oh, and Jimi Hendrix's version of all along the watch tower is an abomination. Bob Dylan all the way!

zenno

I'm still a fan of ole bob, His music always brings me up to a good feeling. Or was that the spliff Still i love his music and the wailers...

The Beatles early stuff was mediocre, in comparison to the groundbreaking stuff on "Revolver" and afterwards. Dylan's ok but I think he ran out of steam after "Desire".

Is that not by his son, Damian? Who is also fantastic btw, better than Ziggy and I've no clue who the others are.

You wouldnt be able to Sky + it in the 70s they had no Sky TV back then. Even VHS recorders were owned by the elite and public servents.

I agree but not as good as "The Ramones", If I had a penny for every fake **** I saw in a Ramones tee I'd have about 30-40c

If it's an introduction to his music, I guess Legend is a good compilation... ye gods, everyone had that album at one stage, didn't they?

It was Bob originally. Damian covered it & Exodus on his 'Welcome to Jamrock' album, or sort of did his own updated versions.

Never knew that, learn something knew everyday.

After listening I prefer Damians version although they're completely different, I forgot how much I enjoyed Damian. Distant Relatives is a fantastic piece of work
