mr marley never did it for me.

peter tosh was the real musical genius of the wailers, but he was also a 6' 6" very black man with a militant attitude and a tounge of fire. bob was just marketable... like a sean paul for the 70s

some lyrics from mr mcintosh

HE WATERETH THE HILLS

FROM HIS CHAMBERS

AND THE EARTH IS SATISFIED

SO SATISFIED

HE MAKETH THE GRASS TO GROW FOR ANIMALS

JAH MADE THE HERB FOR MAN(3X)

FRET NOT THYSELF

BECAUSE OF EVILDOERS

NEITHER BE THOU ENVIOUS

AGAINST THE WORKERS OF INEQUITY

FOR THEY SHALL SOON BE CUT DOWN

CUT DOWN LIKE GRASS

AND THEY SHALL WITHER LIKE CORN

LET JAH ARISE

AND LET ALL HIS ENEMIES BE SCATTERED

LET THEM THAT HATE JAH

NOW SCAT UP SHUT UP BUTT UP AND FLAT UP

AS THE SMOKE WAS DRIVEN AWAY

JAH, DRIVE THEM AWAY

AS THE ROCKS MELTED

LET THEM BE MELTED JAH-JAH

IGZIABEHER

LET JAH BE PRAISED

YOU DON E-AH LAMB

LET JAH BE PRAISED

NEGUSA NEGHAST

LET JAH BE PRAISED

LET HIM BE PRAISED(4X)

AHH...LIGHTNING

EARTHQUAKE

BRIMSTONE

FOR THE FIRE

I SAID LIGHTNING

BRIMSTONE AND FIRE

IGZIABEHER

WEAKHEART SCAT UP SHUT UP FLAT UP AND BUTT OUT

I FEEL IT

WEAKHEART FEEL IT

KILL THEM DEAD BEFORE THEM SPREAD...

Tosh was the man, no doubt...but Marley was a voice for a movement and almost deified in his time. His word could at one time have started or stopped a revolution in Jamaica. Marketable?, ok but his presence was undeniable and the comparision to Sean Paul, can't agree with you on that one at all.

right... but musicly he was lacking. he may have held political sway, but he was not played in the dances. he was years behind the other reggae artists at the time. he sold out. i respect what he did, as it brought his message to the masses, but he left reggae to do it. im a reggae fan, and bob was a pop singer.
