Bob Marley.

Really can't fathom that no talent bore's popularity..





Seriously, Man?

He is THE face of reggae. That's not a bad musical genre to carry the banner for. His social commentary and political awareness in his lyrics made him the Bob Dylan of Jamaica. He and the Wailers wrote hit after hit after hit.

He is a musical and pop culture icon that has transcended the Caribbean and the 1970s.

Marley "influenced" everything about the music industry except the actual music. There is much much better raggae to listen to and Marley just sounds like an boring chode in my magnanimous and exceedingly humble opinion.

My point is these threads are fricking terrible and stupid. We get this thread once a month. Why not talk about music that you like?

(And I like these guys, just FTR)

I'm sort of with you about Neil Young--and like you, I'm a fan. It's just that, in my opinion, a lot of his music falls flat in terms of lyrics. I just think he's written a whole lot of lyrically lame songs, I don't think he's an especially good lyricist.

However ... I love enough of his stuff to be a fan. Plus I have HUGE RESPECT for Neil for doing things his way and not caving into to the dictates of the record industry, popular tastes and trends, the expectations of fans, etc. That alone is quite an accomplishment for a guy who's been at it 50 years now.

everything about Elvis was rooted in AA culture - his food, his clothes, living in the projects


Can definitely tell you and your yankee brethren from Mizzou do not belong in the SEC. What you jackasses consider Soul Food, is guess what, just good ole fashion southern cooking. Also, especially in those days, most people in the south were poor and lived in shite housing. You make it sound like Elvis was the original Eminem. What a dumbass!!!!

Then why come into the thread and read it?
Serious question.
There are lots of threads here that are totally uninteresting to me. I just don't open them.

Nirvana - set rock music back a decade by catering to shitty musicianship plus their music wasn't even good.
