...sorry for such an early mailing list, just got a whole bunch of albums just waiting in my inbox to be sent out. enjoy[/QUOTE]

I just got two Peter Tosh live albums and a Bob Marley one, so these should be a good edition. As always, thank you very much.

Does anyone here play reggae music at all?

I'm just curious because I've been listening to all forms of Jamaican music for the last 10 years now and am just getting into actually playing it and have a few questions, especially relating to getting the right guitar "sound".

Right now I kinda sound like Sublime which isn't quite the "authentic" sound I'm going for.

And yes, I'd like to join an email list.

Yeah, I play reggae. I mainly play bass, but I could probably help you out with any specific guitar questions.

Alright team-- favorite Marley and the Wailers album?

Favourite Marley
Album: Catch A Fire
Songs: Kinky Reggae, Africa Unite

Natty Dread. I must say, the first time i heard it on vinyl I was hooked on marley for good.

Legend.

/is perdictable

I really dislike Legend a lot.

It has some wonderful songs on it, but I really don't like how it flows as an album, you know? It's got this really cheesy "greatest hits" feel to it. I know that's exactly what it is, but still. I like them too much to choose a favorite of all time. [I]Kaya[/I] might be my favorite at the moment.

Legend is the album that got me into Bob Marley and reggae music. Nowadays I don't listen to Bob very much, so it's just stayed my favorite album of his.

Horace Andy - In The Light / In The Light Dub
Various - If Deejay Was Your Trade

I got Matisyahu-Live at Stubb's today, and I it's a 5 star album. I had Shake Off the Dust...Arise already, but this is definitely better. So now I'm on a big reggae kick, but all I have other than the Matisyahu is a couple Burning Spear and Marley albums :(

So this mailing list sounds like a good idea: [email]wartsandall@gmail.com[/email]

NP: Bob Marley-Burnin' and Lootin' (Live at the Roxy)

123. That album is Marley ground zero. Catch a Fire is a close second, though.

Here's my issue with Legend and other Marley comps:

Bob Marley was a political singer. He sang about the injustice and inequalities of Africans in Jamaica, South Africa and around the world. But who owns the rights to Marley songs now? Whitey. And Whitey's keepin Marley down. Look at the tracklist on Legend. The only two remotely political song on there are Get Up, Stand Up and Redemption Song. Vague songs that have a tinge of rebellion but don't expose specific injustices. Listen to the message of that compilation: Don't worry, every little thing will be all right. Where are the anthems that cry out that, no, not everything is, in fact, all right. Musically superior tracks such as War, Burnin' and Lootin', and Them Belly Full But We Hungry are nowhere to be found, and why? Because Whitey wants to push Marley as some stupid stoner who didn't stand for sh[size=2]i[/size]t. Put on Natty Dread!

The Gladiators - Trench Town Mix up

..sorry this is all i could get done



back to the marley discussion. I find Exodus to be pretty overrated. There are some of amazing tracks on the album but there are alot that i skip over (most of which are also featured on Legend..which i dont really like myself) The song three little birds is terrible in my opinion (even though it brought more women into the reggae scene), and Jammin' (probably his biggest hit) is a little overrated, good song, but there are much better marley songs.

I'm stilll on the mailing list right? Cause I haven't received any lists since 12
