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

    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.

    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:

    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!

    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".

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

    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.

    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 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

    A genius. He took something that was exclusive to the Caribbean and made it global. His sound still resonates around the world today. As hokey as it sounds his music brings different cultures together.

    The Wailers in the studio is one thing, live they are on a different level all together. They supported Sly and The Family Stone on one of their tours at some stage in the early 70's and were dropped because they were too good and stole the limelight..... tighter than a ducks arse!

    BEST SONG EVER!! is this song by Bobby McFerrin which is often erroneously attributed to Bob Marley.
