Robert Nesta Marley (b....

Pros: Every track is a renowned classic on this compilation

This is part of a write-off. Just when I was in a mood to get down to writing a string of book reviews, I got into this. This particular album, this particular artist, this time in history, this particular rhythm. I entered the world of Bob Marley the...

Pros: 14 Classic Songs, Good uplifting and dance music
Cons: Bob's original message is not conveyed as he wanted it to

Pros: Full of Soul, moving & sexy
Cons: none

A few years ago, I would have laughed at you if you told me I'd be listening to Reggae. I was a die hard Casey Kasem fan in the 80's listening to Americas Top 40 every Sunday morning. So what happened? I went to Jamaica to meet my internet love....

Pros: Bob Marley is to music as Jesus is to Christianity. This CD is a "must-have".

I've been reading a lot of reviews on Bob Marley's Legend CD, and I'm not exactly sure what to make of some of them. Rather than get into some long drawn out argument, I'll just let you all know what this CD does for me.

I've grown up...

Pros: all killer, no filler
Cons: none of the Lee Perry or Studio One stuff

Scene #1: Austria, the New Years’ Eve of 2000/2001, circa 9 o clock in the evening. I’m sitting around in the kitchen of my relatives’ yuppie friends, while dinner is being cooked. Everywhere around me, people are reading financial newspapers or...

Pros: Classic.
Cons: We miss you Marley.
