I have never enjoyed the songs of Bob Marley

[Wat_Tyler]

Poll question: I have never enjoyed the songs of Bob Marley

Should I be.....

[JimmyJazz]

1. i think you should smoke a bong and then decide....

:smoke: That's how I figure out life's little questions...

[Flammable Materials]

2. Wat is aan de hand met Belgie?

I wouldn't mind living there.

[Wat_Tyler]

4. There was awkwardness. I can never go back.

[Fenris]

3. Actually, I have no beef with you over this, sir.

You deserve an award.

[Wat_Tyler]

5. Thank you.

No doubt we shall clash in my next attempt to forment strife for my own vain pleasure.

[Fenris]

6. *cackle*

Until we spar on the morrow, sir!

[Wat_Tyler]

7. Yes. And remember.

Craig Gannon was the true genius of The Smiths.

[Fenris]

10. I shall ignore that statement...

As we all know the true genius of the Smiths was Mike Joyce.

[Wat_Tyler]

12. Nonsense.

Clearly it was Grant Showbiz.

[Fenris]

14. Or possibly Phranc.

[Wat_Tyler]

17. I'm convinced Phranc grew up to be Ani di Franco.

It must be so.

Real genius behind The Smiths? Myra Hindley.

[Fenris]

20. Yes. And she had an accomplice.

Over the moors...

[Wat_Tyler]

22. Strangeways, here we come.

Clearly such talk can only result in hard labour at Her Majesty's Pleasure.

[sundog]

8. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I need to consult with some -other- people before we decide your fate :P

[donheld]

9. Guess which one i picked

:spank:

[sendero]

11. First Hendrix...

... now Marley. Let me guess, you don't think Prince is all that.

Because then, we could finally agree :evilgrin:

[Wat_Tyler]

13. No - Prince is great.

Apart from the whole Jehovah's Witness thing.

[sendero]

23. Your really are clueless...

... Prince sucks, and not just a little. He ruined the R&R Hall of Fame induction of George Harrison with a performance the musical equivalent of a pink fart in a punch bowl.

I cannot stand the puny little fuck. And you have the musical taste of a cretin.

[Wat_Tyler]

24. Cool.

Which cretin?

If it's Pee-Wee Herman, we cool.

[sendero]

26. That'll...

...do. PewWee Herman it is :)

[jonnyblitz]

15. I sure got tired of his "Legends" CD although I like him.

seems like some people think that is the ONLY reggae CD out there.

[JohnKleeb]

16. thats crap and I love that CD

Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Jimmy Cliff, and I am sure there are others who are good in their own right.

[Wat_Tyler]

19. If you want a reggae great - check out Horace Andy.

He da man.

[Wat_Tyler]

21. That is one thing that bugs me about him.

The tokenism - like he's the one black reggae guy that white suburbanites have decided to patronize.

[JohnKleeb]

27. dude I am a white suburbite and thats shit

Marley was great to me but hes not the only one by far. Don't blame it on him though, I Think he would hate how cult like hes become.

[Wat_Tyler]

31. That wasn't a dig at you, John.

It just seems for many people I know, Bob Marley = Reggae, and that pisses me off. You've obviously got good taste in reggae.

[jonnyblitz]

30. everybody I know that plays "Legends" to death...

usually won't listen to any other reggae I suggest. this is just my experience. "Legends" is a greatest hits CD btw if you are not familiar.

[tjdee]

25. That's MY only reggae cd, LOL.

:thumbsup:

I just love every little old thing about it.

Except "One Love", so overplayed and gets on my nerves besides.

[JohnKleeb]

28. hah I have an original version of it

I like it better, but it seems a lot of the early Marley stuff, I heard, never made it big.

[last_texas_dem]

18. No problem there

I don't like much of Bob Marley's music, either. But I'd make you join Matchbox 20 just 'cause I think it'd be funny...

[sundog]

29. oh, I know, I know

punishment:

You have to live in the Jamaican ghetto & work 7 days a week, 13 hours a day in the heat in a sugar cane field so you can put a little food on the table for your family... You have a light bulb for a lamp... and your youngest boy's biggest dream is to escape the ghetto & see the world. And every day he looks to you for strength & reassurance that he will get out... but you can't buy him a decent pair of shoes.

And the only thing that maintains your sanity & faith is Jah Rastafari... Knowing in the deepest recesses of your soul that behind this suffering there is some sort of logic, some sort of reason.

The songs might sound better after that.

:7

[Wat_Tyler]

32. It doesn't matter what his background was.

Either I like the songs or I don't. If I patronized him because he'd had a hard background, that'd make me a racist.

[Feathered Fish]

33. Well, that's your business

:) I'm sure matchbox 20 could use ya.

[Bridget Burke]

34. So--you only like white artists?

Since you don't "get" Hendrix, either?

[Wat_Tyler]

36. That's pretty low.

So, I don't like two black artists. This clearly makes me a racist.

[dolo amber]

35. Stop piddling around

and just start a "The Beatles blow" or "Dylan is a no-talent goat masturbator" thread and have done with it already...

:P

[Wat_Tyler]

37. I could say 'The Pet Shop Boys Are Much Better Than John Lennon'.

Howzat?

[dolo amber]

38. "I've got the brains, you've got the looks....

Let's make lots of money!!" B-)

Utter genius. Like "Imagine" can compete with THAT.... :eyes:

[Wat_Tyler]

39. They were never Being Boring.

Unlike Lennon.
