Welcome To Jamrock is a great track but there is more to Reggae than the name marley.

It's not just that track though, that whole album is great. If you haven't heard it, it's really worth a listen.

I have had the album a couple of years and really like some of it but there is some awful RnB tinged tunes that spoil it for me.

I like the whole album except for that song "Beautiful" with Bobby Brown which I agree is a giant slice of awful R&B tinged cheese. The only other song I don't particularly care for is "For the Babies" but only because the lyrics kind of annoy me. I think the rest of the album is great. The songs "Confrontation", "The Master Has Come Back", "All Night", "Move!", "In Too Deep" and of course "Welcome To Jamrock" are all real standout tracks for me.

That's exactly how I think of the album. I haven't listened to it for months, but from what I remember it's a great record that lets itself down in a few places.

As for the Marleys, I'm not their biggest fan, but they have done some great albums - Bob's Exodus and Damian's aforementioned Welcome To Jamrock for instance.

I feel it is more of a grower album than an instant success.

I still need to grab a bunch of Ziggy and Julians music as well.

Prolificly talented clan...
