Best Bob Marley song
 

pick you favorite Marley song :drummer:

I don't think you can really do a poll for a favorite Bob Marley song because there's just too much. Mine is probably Waiting in Vain, but I also love Concrete Jungle, Stir it Up, No Woman, No Cry, How Many Times, Redemption Song, Natural Mystic, Trenchtown Rock, Revolution, Time Will Tell and Roots, Rock, Reggae.

None of those. Exodus probably for me due to that pumping bassline and Waiting In Vain has a great melancholy feel to it.

Jamming for me, absolutely timeless.

Iron Lion Zion is my favorite.

and what about this awesome tune too?:

Not trying to be the douchebag who posts the earliest song they can think of but "One Cup of Coffee" seriously is one of my favorite Bob Marley songs:

I've always been partial to "No Woman, No Cry".

mine is Redemption Song

Great, great tune.

ya thats a good one too

I think I've said a few times before that I'm not the biggest Bob Marley fan, but I'd go for One Love out of that lot.

He is probably the least listened to in my reggae collection but he was a great icon for reggae music no doubt.

Oh yeah, no doubting that (I still think Exodus is a very good album), it's just that there's so much reggae out there that's better, as I'm sure you already know :)

I just put up the most popular songs by him so that there would be atleast 1 song that everybody knew...and loved

That's fine but you are also getting an education and hearing some songs you may not have before ;)

good point =]

Exodus, Waiting In Vain, And This One Which I Don't Think Has Been Mentioned Yet-

Buffalo Soldier is a beauiful song

I really dig Mr. Brown and Jammin'
Don't know my favorite though.

Mr. Brown is a great tune.

This song, One Drop helped me make through many a hard day and it still does. The message of One Drop is to maintain the faith even when Babylon beats you down and "makes the world so hard."

It's been nearly 30 years since Bob passed on to Jah glory but I still have a hard time watching a video of him without getting feeling an emotional choke.

From that list it's gotta be three little birds.

I've listened to my fair share of Marley but I keep goin back to Natural Mystic

out of your list, I pick Sun Is Shining

Hey why isn't Redemption Song up there. One of the greatest songs of all time.

No Woman, No Cry is decent I guess, but he really is quite overrated.

Bob Marley never released anything...

Now if it was Bob Marley & The Wailers you were talking about... :p:

Concrete Jungle would have to be it.
Redemption Song is another one of my most recognisable favourite. As well as Roots, Rock, Reggae.

No woman, No cry. So cliche but I love it.

especially the live in london.

Yeha good point. What the hell ca2?


Bob Marley? on what grounds? You have Chuck Berry in your avatar.

douche comment

His music quite bores me, but I have nothing really against the guy. I think he gets undeserved attention seeing as they're other better reggae musicians that aren't nearly as hyped as Marley.

like who?

He gets all the extra attention because he's thought of as a lot more than just a musician.

we should judge rock starts on the amount of illegitament children they had.

bob marley is a god.

Rofl, just having a larf ;) Don't take it seriously...

Derrick Morgan and Desmond Dekker, for example.

Probably "Africa Unite", followed by "Buffalo Soldier" and "Could You Be Loved".

to be honest, those songs are pretty weak. Bob's best tunes were made on the wail n' soul label and when he recorded with Lee perry.

one love. BY FAR.

"i an i is a wailer" - bob....

why just remember bob as the legend.... what about peter tosh or bunny wailer? bob never wanted solo fame.... he wouldnt have wanted this!

my faves:
heathen/waiting in vain/rock it baby/slavedriver/natural mystic

i voted for could you be loved ;)
