i wasn't hating on marley...simply stating how he should be an intro to a deeper exploration of reggae. people tend to stop with him. my interest in marley led to peter tosh, burning spear, steel pulse, and a whole load of other reggae artists that i felt had as much if not more talent than he did. i still like and listen to him to this day, though.
