kintaro 0 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I was thinking tonight that few people on the planet have missed hearing the lyrics of BOB MARLEY. Question: what's your favorite Bob song? I have to settle on two: Redemption Song for the lyrical contents and Three Little Birds for the genki aspects. When I wanna feel irie, the lyrics to "sun is shining, the weather is sweet, makes you wanna move your dancing feet....." do the job. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Crazy Baldhead, but sung by Johnny Clarke. It's the Hail King Selassie I's words, but War is great too. I'm not such a big fan of Marley's own better-known recordings because from Catch a Fire onwards, the production tends to be very watered down. Mi likes more drum an bass. Lee Perry, Striker, Jammy, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
arcadia 0 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Concrete Jungle is by far my favorite - a combination of the bassline and lyrics Link to post Share on other sites
kintaro 0 Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 I see you know your reggae...Lee Scratch Perry has a funny song called "Bed Jamming." You listing to Alpha Blondy as well? Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Alpha Blondy, Aswad, Third World, Peter Tosh, Lucky Dube, Black Uhuru...I know its not Reggae per say, but Iz, damn I like Iz! They all bring back so many memories. For Bob Marley I really like Exodus, Them Belly Full, Trenchtown Rock, and Satisfy my Soul. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Not a Bob fan myself I'm afraid, but: Originally Posted By: Creek Boy Iz, damn I like Iz! Kamakawiwo`ole? R.I.P. Haven't heard much of his solo stuff, but the Makaha Sons of Ni`ihau are a big old favorite. Link to post Share on other sites

kintaro 0 Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 I used to see Bruddah IZ every Sundsay at Waikiki. The city hired him for a cultural thing. Probably the last 8-10 times I saw him he was sitting in a chair, wearing his red, gold and green beany and had oxygen tanks strapped to his back with rubber hoses going into his nose. It was sad.

gerard 6 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Exodus was amazingly well-produced and mixed way back in the 70s in London. I like buffalo soldier too. Link to post Share on other sites

maoriboy 0 Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 War and Satisfy My Soul are my 2 top picks. But really there is nothing better than listening to some bob while laxing out at the beach on a warm summers day. Link to post Share on other sites
