    Just watched Bob and the Wailers on the old grey whistle test on BBC 4.

    Got me thinking, anyone not enjoy at least one song from Bob?

    I'm thinkin of growing dread's and buyin a Hash pipe.

    Peace!

    Not a fan at all. Don't see / hear the appeal tbh.

    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.

    I liked him more when he was in the Fugees.

    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.

    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? :confused:

    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.

    some man for one man


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 786 ✭✭✭fangee


    Bob is the man.

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,868 ✭✭✭djflawless

    was he the black guy with dreads?

    And before he was dead?

    How did Bob Marley like his doughnuts?
    With jammin.


    I just punched myself in the face.
