I agree with you about their earlier albums being good, I even like the self-titled as it was the album that I first heard. I eventually came to appreciate Transistor as well, despite my initial reluctance. After that, boring sappy shyte.

But uh, that video is complete crap, I don't see that turning a hater into a fan in a million years.

God, what a horrendous paragraph but whatever, my brain refuses to work today.

I understood what you were saying. I think.

We used to listen to SRV on roadtrips. Kinda nice when you're making your way on a Texas country road.

yeah it is frustrating. bob marley is far from the best, he is just the intro. i have a theory about the laziness of potheads. they hear bob marley...and enjoy it because they smoke weed (not that he isn't enjoyable without it). then, they decide they love reggae but as a result of the weed are far too lazy to look any further into the genre.

i love smacking people with peter tosh after someone professes their love of bob marley. peter tosh is better and he isn't even the best, in my opinion.

I agree. No Country for CanwllCorfe

I'm a little frustrated by the Marley hate actually. He's seen as overrated and hated for it even though he had just about the perfect voice for Jamaican music and was part of it from the beginning (like, before reggae existed). The music that Bob Marley and the Wailers made with Lee 'Scratch' Perry is essential to anybody interested in reggae. Here's some proof..

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.

It's not necessarily Marley hate, moreso the fact that people are too damn lazy to listen to more Reggae and judge the whole genre solely on him. I mean do people judge Soul purely on The Four Tops? No they go looking but in Reggae they don't. Their loss I say.

I also agree, no country for sidewinder. I can stand a bit of classic country here or there, but I won't purposely put it on. There's some slightly twangy indie rock I like too, but that's the extent of it. Cowboys can suck it otherwise.

I know. It's just nearly impossible to find a high quality YouTube video of one of their older songs. And I have been playing that song repeatedly on grooveshark this week sooo I figured I'd give it a try...

Alright, here goes my list:

Creed, Matchbox 20, Third Eye Blind, Emo (pick a band), Rascal Flatts and pretty much all of current "country" music (someone once told me that Rascal Flatts was better than Johnny Cash - I almost slapped her), ABBA, Paula Cole (though she was a backup singer for Peter Gabriel in the early 90's, which is in her favor), there's more, I'm sure...
