Is it just me, or do all Bob Marley songs seem to sound identical after a while?

This sounds so similar to Exodus, which in turn sounds a lot like Buffalo soldier.

Proof that Bob Marley put out more than one album. World-wide DJs take note...

This is my favorite BM work, one of those rare recordings where every song is fantastic.

Perhaps the signature 2-4 beat accents are less pronounced in this tune, and it's coupled with strong melodic horns that are not accenting the reggae beat?

I think Marley is so good he sort of transcends Reggae. I'm not that crazy about reggae generally.

But I'm not sure what about him cuts through. Some of it is his integrity and emotive qualities shine through but that's not the sum total of the effect.

Nope, it's the guitar, bass and horns. They be jammin' (jammin'), to think that jammin' was a thing of the past...

Don't get so defensive. I never meant to imply that "I Shot the Sheriff" is a bad song, or is lacking in any way.

The comment had nothing to do with the "power" of the song (I agree with you there). The original comment had to do with "reggae for beginners". I'd lay money that if you ask most uneducated reggae listeners to name their top 3 favorite raggae tunes, "I Shot the Sheriff" would be right up there at the top of the list. It's a good song that's very accessible to uninitiated raggae listeners ...beginners.


No offense taken. Thanks for the clarification. However, I'm pretty sure the original poster was not commenting on the song's popularity with the "for beginners" remark. As you say yourself, this is a lesser-known Marley track and I'm pretty sure the original poster was aware of that.

While we're arguing: I'm not so sure whether I Shot the Sheriff would be considered a top 3 reggae song by "beginners". Most of them would associate it with Eric Clapton, not exactly the world's biggest reggae artist. I think people will choose typical Marley hits such as One Love, No Woman No Cry or Could You Be Loved. (Hell, maybe even Dreadlock Holiday by 10cc.)

Just because a song can draw in listeners who weren't previously listeners of a certain genre of music doesn't necessarily make it a bad song. I've always thought that "I Shot the Sheriff" was great, but I still stand by my original comment.

You mention that Misty morning is B-side material. Funny that it should also be considered beginner material since B-side tunes are typically songs that are only sought out by die hard fans not "beginners".

As for this track, this really is Marley lite. B-side material compared to Exodus.
