I stayed away from everything reggae-related during many years because I was annoyed by everybody telling how great Bob Marley was. I was mostly into punk and hardcore at the time and even the whole 'spiritual' side of reggae music annoyed me. I simply didn't get what can be so great about jamaican music.
Last year I went to Max Romeo and Cornell Campbell shows, had a great time and I really enjoy digging into reggae history now.
