Look at my signature!
I LOVE Marley - I got the boxed set & Legend.
I have a book of his poetry & am reading a biography right now.
Dude is awesome!

Hey Maddog, let us know how that biography is!
I love Marley as well. Made sure we stopped by his place when we were in Jamaica last year. Never have I had so many people try to hook me up with weed!
I love "Waiting in Vain" but "Redemption Song" rocks. I love the line "Emancipate yourself from mental slavery none but ourselves can free our minds."

Toots rules! You don't see somebody that likes this guy every day.
I've got the Marley box set, the Story of Jamaican Music box set, almost all of the Marley cd's, another 4/5 of Peter Tosh, a couple of Burning Spears, Bunny Wailer, 4/5 Toots and the Maytalls, Israel Vibration, Steel Pulse, probably 4/5 compilations and another 4/5 ska compilations, a couple of Burning Spear cd's, a nice '76 Marley bootleg from the Roxy.
Been to Reggae on the River twice, seen Burning Spear, Steel Pulse probably four times, Pato Banton, Lucky Dube, the Skatalites, Third World, all sorts of 'em.
http://www.reggaeontheriver.com This is where it's at. Big fun. 30 bands over three days. About 30K people camped by a nice river in N. California.

I made it through the first 1/2 hour of that, then kinda lost interest. I do like Jimmy Cliff though.

I would love to go to that festival - especially to see Steel Pulse live. But there is no chance I can make it. 
I see Toots played on the bill last year. Damn if only I had known. There's something I should have put down on the best cover songs thread - Toots and the Maytals covering John Denver's "Take Me Home Country Roads" |

I like mostly everything that has been mentioned thus far in this thread... Anything that Sly & Robbie contributed to is certainly worthwhile... |

Reggae music all day every day! I love Marley forever, but I listen to dancehall, lovers, roots, and rockers too, so my collection is rather diverse. Jacob Miller is one of my faves. But Dennis Brown is actually up there with Marley. Dancehall wise, Spragga Benz can do no wrong in my book, but I also like Degree, Vegas, and Bounty Killer too. Half Pint and Barrington Levy are incredible. And I can't say enough about Marcia Griffiths voice.
