Its Such a strange comparison though. Their styles are so different from each other. Bob marley is pretty straightforward rock-steady/reggae (ska as well if you want to get into the older material with Peter and Bunny), while Jimmy Cliff almost borders on Motown (which was a strong influence on reggae, but still...) Both are quite wonderful in their own right. I'd hate to choose.

"Redemption Song" says it all. I mean I've heard so many variations of it but Bob Marley obviously does the best one, no doubt he's the king of reggae.

Funny thing about Bob Marley, apparenty he beat his wife! Shocking, no?

But, I will say that I do love him. He's amazing no doubt.

I just realized i totally responded to the wrong thread. Thought this was the Bob Marley vs. Jimmy Cliff thread.

You are forgiven...this time... I messed up too, I made a reply to something completely wrong in another thread. I'm not one to talk I guess.
