their 'God' was the last king of Ethiopia. Bob Marley as a musician, yeah he was simplistic, but his music were about simple messages of love and peace not attempting to be technical masterpieces.
You could apply this to reggae as a whole.

Call me kooky, but i prefer a singer who actually sings rather than growl a song..
Well, why not? I think there's room enough in the world of music for all different approaches. The interesting thing with that approach is that it inverts the normal role of vocals, making them more of an ambient element to the music rather than the focal point.

I agree, and would add that I don't think everything needs to be sweet and melodious all the time.

I think this is fecking brilliant, and I think a conventional singer would ruin it

True dat. My unpopular musical opinion is that Heartwork was Carcass' best album. Their other stuff was killer, but Heartwork is just one of the most unique extreme metal albums I've ever heard.

You want to get into real unpopular territory, tell someone you think Swansong is their best album, punches will be thrown I can assure you.
