This thread deserved a good nudge.
I don't think Bob is overerrated. To an extent he's a bit underrated, especially as a revolutionary. I think what a lot of people are getting at is that many people's appreciation with reggae/Jamaican music begins and ends with Bob Marley, and that it ends up being to the exclusion of the rest of Jamaican music which has a tremendous amount of depth, history, and diversity.
