You can critique any other musician, but the tinniest bit of negative criticism towards Bob has them losing any form of sanity. And why? Just because someone finds him overrated in his guitar playing, melody lines, and vocal ability and doesn’t think he’s some sort of God. There are much more gifted artists that came before and after Marley people, so stop living in that tiny bubble of yours. Making him some infallible dude makes him already overrated.

And idiot basher, Bob Marley is nowhere close to the best selling artist of all time, you’re really letting your bias show. The Beatles and Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Led Zepplin, and tons of other artists dwarf Bob Marley’s total worldwide album sales (this is also including the Wailers stuff).

Smoke Fat Dutchies!

Was that the anthem for the new millennium? Rightly has it been used in a washing powder ad. “Buffalo Soldier” is an hilarious song, completely rewriting the history of black people in the Americas. “Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival”? What, in irons? “Driven from dee mainland to dee heart of dee Caribbean”? Shipped, more like. Should arrive within 10 working days. Buffalo Soldiers were freed black slaves who fought as mercenaries in the American Civil War. They were not Spartacus types who freed themselves by force.

On the plus side, some of Marley’s songs, such as “Satisfy My Soul”, “Waiting in Vain” and “Is This Love”, have the kind of satisfying, long-breathed melodies perfected by the Bee Gees. But they’re not as good as the Bee Gees’ songs, or the songs penned by Rod Stewart at his peak.

It may well be true that Bob Marley has a worldwide following. When I was in Poland in 1993 I met a teenage white “Rastafarian” with dreadlocks. The public are idiots aren’t they?

Was Marley the most influential person of the second half of the 20th Century? The competition is stiff (in more ways than one). Bill Gates, perhaps, JFK, Deng Xiaoping, Martin Luther King, Friedrich Hayek, the chap who invented the contraceptive pill, Mikhail Gorbachev, Crick & Watson, Yang Chen-Ning, Wittgenstein … Even amongst pop persons there are the Beatles (real counter-culture icons), the Sex Pistols, the Smiths (adjudged the most influential pop act of the last 50 years by the NME), Demis Roussos … What did Bob Marley really amount to?

Being dead for two years is NO EXCUSE ;-)

That’s why one of his great albums was named album of the century, that is why the BBC used one of his songs as the anthem for the new millenium, that’s why the NY Times named Bob as the most influencial person of the 2nd half of the 20th century, that is why Bob’s Lyceum VHS was the only musical tape to be inlcluded in a NYC time capsul to be opened in the year 3000. We are not talking about Bob Dylan, The Beatles or Elvis here-we are talking about something much bigger and longer lasting. You can not go anywhere in this world of ours and not see something related to Bob whether is be a t-shirt or a painting on the side of a building. You can go to Brazil and look for a Elvis t-shirt and never find a one, you can go to New Zealand and try to find some spray paintings of The Beatles and you will turn up empty, you can go to Denmark and try to find some msuci of Dylan’s and they won’t know who you are talking about. You can go anywhere at anytime and find Bob all around. He speaks to the people with hearts and minds unlike the fools involved with this website. Only a fool leans upon his own misunderstandings.
