No Woman- No Cry
Redemption Song. Just Nesta and an acoustic guitar. His voice is almost haunting
Sun is Shining..
Three Little Birds...It's even my ringtone.

15 or 20 years ago a Newbie asked me "Chet is that the Jamaican National Anthem, it's playing everywhere we go", l.o.l. love the songQuote:

Stir it up. Another question? Who is your favorite reggae artist? Beres HammondQuote:

Damian is my fav but I love all the Marleys, Capelton, Luciano, Beenie Man, BUJU, etc.
I was sitting at Sun Beach tonight for sunset and they were playing one of the 'Songs of Freeedom' CD's - the one with 'Guava Jelly' on it, and I was just listening to the music; the bass track, the vocals the 'chunka-chunka' rhythm and I said to the guy sitting beside me, "What if he'd lived on, imagine the treasury of music we would have, imagine the direction Bob would have steered Jamaican music."
The guy nodded, agreed with me.
Bob passed when he was 36 years old - think of that. Just 36. Think of what he did in those short years.
The gift, the legacy.
As the sun set we listened to 'One Love' - maybe it sounds cliche, but, really, it is a timeless piece of music, the lyrics, the message, the rhythm, that bass track that grabs you from the first bar.
I don't really have one favorite, there are many - I'm just thankful for what he left us.
One Love, Bob - thank you. . . thank you . . . thank you
Three little birds. soon come
I sit at work with my ear phones in and I bob my head and my co-workers know... Bob Marley. It really does'nt matter. It makes my day happy

I also have to give props X4 for Redeption Song.
And one vote for Natural Mystic.
It changes, but right now, i will say trenchtown rock, from rastamon vibration 'live' in portland, 1978. That album has great sound with a definite 70s tube amp feel and great srereo seperation. The whole thing is excellent!
Duppy Conquerer.
Yes me friend, me good friend...
Another vote for..
Natural Mystic
Redemption Song
Sun is shining
...and one for...So much trouble...
three little birds
War
Another vote for Redemption Song and always love Waiting in Vain
In the immortal words of Bob Slydell in Office Space "I celebrate the guy's entire catalogue"
How can I possibly pick a favorite when there are so many styles and periods to chose from. They all have meaning and relevance.
No woman, no cry. Natural Mystic. Soul Rebel. Concrete Jungle. War. Even the standards like Jammin' and Three Little Birds.
I really love the early early stuff. The one that haunts me lately is I'm Hurting Inside.
I guess my ultimate answer would have to be the one that's playing:cool:
Natural Mystic.
Luciano wins for me hands down.Quote:

Shaggy, Toots, The Pioneers, Nasio for a short time, Marcia Griffiths always,,,, No over 30 40 years it has to be Jimmy
Natural Mystic.
Favorite reggae artist? Hmmmm
Besides Bob Marley?
Burning spear, Black Uhuru, Mighty Diamonds...etc, etc...
Lots of favorites :-)
Jammin' I even have it on my license plate. "WE JAMIN"
Mr. Brown is way up on my list. Many people believe it is about heroin, but I think it is really about an old Jamaican folklore spirit
No Woman No Cry!
don't shed no tears....
like so many...gone way to soon. cant imagine where his music would have gone.listen to rastaman chant.african electronic blues. gone way to soon... I'm with the rest too many great ones to have one or two favorites.... Try me. Do it Twice.(my jamaican motto)red red wine. the list goes on.
Lots to choose from. Not sure I can pick just one.
- So much things to say
- Sun is shining
- Redemption song
- Jammin
Forgot about that one. A definite favorite. Also One Love and...........Quote:

I love all of his songs for different reasons. It's impossible to choose just one...but lately I've been really enjoying "Mr. Brown" and "Duppy Conqueror"
"Mr. Brown" because of it's funky fresh feeling. "Duppy Conqueror" because it has a powerful haunting quality to it that really gets deep under my skin.
I love Guava Jelly. Three Little Birds is pretty lovely too. My huz likes I Shot The Sheriff. I always end up playing Exodus at some point during Passover too.
