Its REGGAE. What kinda arguement is this? It is suppose to be relaxed and cool and not all his songs were slow.

Bob Marley was a freakin genius

Listen to his Wailers material from 1970 until 1974 (pre-Bob Marley and the Wailers) if you think his music's weak lol

I know, right?! This is weak and lolly lolly? Ok.

No sun will shine in my day today; (no sun will shine)
The high yellow moon won't come out to play:
(that high yellow moon won't come out to play)
I said (darkness) darkness has covered my light,
(and the stage) And has changed my day into night, yeah.
Where is the love to be found? (oo-ooh-ooh)
Won't someone tell me?
'Cause my (sweet life) life must be somewhere to be found -
(must be somewhere for me)
Instead of concrete jungle (jungle!)
Where the living is harder (concrete, jungle!).

Concrete jungle (jungle!):
Man you got to do your (concrete, jungle!) best. Wo-ooh, yeah.

No chains around my feet,
But I'm not free, oh-ooh!
I know I am bound here in captivity;
I've never known happiness;
I've never known what sweet caress is -
Still, I'll be always laughing like a clown;
Won't someone help me? 'Cause I (sweet life) -
I've got to pick myself from off the ground
(must be somewhere for me), he-yeah! -
In this a concrete jungle (jungle!):
I said, what do you got for me (concrete, jungle!) now, o-oh!
Concrete jungle (la la-la!), ah, won't you let me be (concrete, jungle!), now.
Hey! Oh, now!

I've wanted to say this to you before, GTFO of here with your bullshit

He can't be cool and relaxed? Hell half his music ain't even that relaxed. His Exodus song is the antithesis of relaxed lol

Exactly.

Sacrilege!

To the OP, try and dig a little deeper. Personally, Like Timmy, my favourite stuff is his Wailers period from around 70 to 74 or 5. Burnin is probably in my all time top 5 albums. Their are melodys in their worthy of Mozart.Think I'll dig out Small Axe

Bob was a genius.

I wouldn't call it weak, but I've always wondered why Bob was & is so popular with rockers & punk while his music is the exact opposite of rock: laidback. Stir it up always makes me think it's being played too slow. But maybe that's because the tropical climate... But then again, there's nothing laidback about Fela Kuti. But Bob was a better songwriter, so I guess that explains it. Reggae isn't really my thing, but you gotta respect him 4 what he did. Could You Be Loved & Iron Lion Zion are my favorite songs of his.

The main reason why he was so popular with the rockers & punks was because like them, he was for the oppressed and against the oppressor. Bob Marley is one of those artist in which, everybody knows his music. In order to really appreciate his music, one needs to look up the definition of Reggae and everything that goes with it. His music and philosphy were much deeper than the songs, you mentioned.

BOB MARLEY SUCKS!

Have a nice day

Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion but when you have an artist of Marley's stature and reknown you might want to do a reality check on yourself.

Weak?

If that were truely so, how could he have become such a world wide phenomena?

I've seen similar threads started here in the org about The Beatles (mostly by peeps who were not around during the late 60's).

Your opinion says more about you than it does Marley.

Maybe it would be better to say something like, "I don't get Marley" rather than "Marley's music is weak."

That is if you're not simply trolling to stir up shit, of course.

If you have an opinion, stick to it. You said he didn't suck, now you're saying he sucks. So I don't think you're trusting your instincts.

Now have a nice day.

Though not my favourite reggae artist, his music was really great.

Generally speaking I would rather listen to some Buju Banton, Capleton, Sizzla, Lloyd Brown, Beres Hammond, Bushman....doesn't mean Bob Marley wasn't great though.

Without people like Marley, those people that you mentioned would not exist.

That may or may not be true, it's not like he was the only one in his genre. But I agree he was extremely influential.
