Y'all commenting on the lack of new songs probably know that Bob Marley died of cancer in 1981 doncha? The song I Shot The Sheriff was released on Burnin' album in 1973 and this album is 1976. Lasting.

Lots of urban music is also about urban music. It's called self-indulgence.

I am sorry to have to agree. A one-song act most liked by potheads that are too intoxicated not to notice.

Actually, 77% of rating listeners gave this a 7 or higher.  So maybe a small handful hate reggae - many of us love it!

It is always good for remembering the only talent of Mr. Robert "Bob" Nesta Marley and The Wailers-

A songwriting genius.

Write us one song that anyone will care about in twenty years. 

Bob wrote a dozen. And we'll still be listening to them in another twenty.

This is not one of them, but it certainly hints at it.

60%? Look at the rating. I've said it before and I'll say it again: the more a song is liked by a large majority of listeners, the more loud complaints about the song will be posted on the comments page.

That little guitar lick at the "play I on the R&B!" line... that's what hooked me on this song back in the day. That's what reggae is about; keeping it simple and mellow and allowing something as simple as that little lick to shine.

I like Reggae. Problem comes from playing the same tracks over and over. This is nice and not played too often. Also, Bill, Marley isn't hte only reggae artist around. A bit more eclecticism (? can I say that ?) would be nice.

Sounds like a bit of experimenter bias to me.

Just to keep the thread going and annoy people, I'm a W voting reggae lover. Whitebread as all hell. Of course, I only got to see Bob live a few times, so what do I know?

Bob is a genius.

And this exact proportion of alleged hatred does not seem to be reflected in the voting for Bob Marley's "Roots, Rock, Reggae" anyway. Hmmm...

Well, now you only have to mute and un-mute once. If the songs were spread around the playlist, you would be annoyed multiple times, now it's all condensed in a few songs.

According to the avg. rating, looks like about 71% of raters like this tune, and probably Marley's reggae as well. Rise up all you people!!
