I never heard a song on RP that deserved a 1. Nothing less than a 5 or 6 at least. That is why this station is so awesome. This ones a 10! |

Amazing how a complete musical stream basically leans on one person... Brilliant song though. 9/10

Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One love)
There is one question I'd really love to ask (One heart)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own?
Believe meI'm guessing this means that if you speak against us (but who's us?), you're hopeless and doomed and hurting all mankind (with the possible exception of others like you) - but would like to hear any other interpretation. A nice song, but it's always curious that the response of enthusiasts to any questioning of this or any other reggae ballad is such a wall of flame. Love, peace and death to the infidels? Runs my hypocrisy meter off the scale. I do appreciate the concept of One Love, One Heart (as I understand it) - it's a worthy goal for the inhabitants of a planet.

As the single parent of a now grown son, I think I can say from the perspective of my own experience that Obama (like Clinton) had a mother and a father, but only a single parent. |

WORD. 
Ok, I actually give it an 8, but that's a far cry from a 1. I guess it takes all kinds though... ask wrote:

Good use of commas! And you're right: who wants music that's supposed to make you feel good? Yuck.
But that's a really strange comment coming from you, Mr. Moron. You've only given 2 songs a "10", and one of them was The Dead's "Ripple". If the Grateful Dead doesn't remind you of hippies, then I don't think you know what that word means. Oh wait, I forgot: you told us all you're a moron.
Incidentally, in the 5 months since you praised the other 11 who were as sour on this tune as you, exactly one person has rated it a 1.
It's true. I rated it a 2 since there are worse songs. |

There's a fine line between 'classic' and 'clichéd', and unfortunately this number has been so overplayed over the years that it's crossed over to the dark side. IMHO naturally :)

Your comment betrays your ignorance. Reggae has nothing to do with hippies, other than the fact that some of them enjoy and listen to it. Get a clue. |
