There's always Ziggy...Marley.

I saw Ziggy years and years ago back when David Letterman was doing "Late Night" and I got studio tickets to see a show taping, then a few years ago I saw Ziggy & The Melody Makers play a whole show (versus the 1 song they did on Letterman) ... awesome! Great music, just about as good as Dad's!

REST IN PEACE BOB!!!!!!!!!!

---
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our mind.
Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfil de book.
Won't you help to sing
Dese songs of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs -
All I ever had:
Redemption songs:
These songs of freedom,
Songs of freedom

Did you know that Ziggy Marley made the theme song for Arthur (PBS)?

Oh by the way, is that the Grateful Dead teddy bear ??

 

[cygnusx1]

I remember Ziggy Stardust ..........

 

[ChrisWins]

is that the Grateful Dead teddy bear ??

Yup, and in 2000 the remaining members of the Dead toured that summer as "The Other Ones" with Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers as the opening act. Awesome!!!

3 shows on the tour Ziggy & Company came out and they all together jammed a version of "Stir It Up" and one show they all played "I Shot The Sheriff"

Oh so sweet!

There's always Ziggy...Marley.

If you had ever heard his woeful album "Tomorrow People" you'd not be so eager to remind us of him. Bob and Ziggy are poles apart in talent.

 

[ChrisWins]

That's a decent album. Woeful hardly but then again tis all quite subjective ain't it? besides, it was his first solo album, i believe. poles apart? I wouldn't go that far. Bob's thought to be superior over Ziggy mostly because Bob's a legend. Ziggy's not bad, though! Ask the millions of people who love his music. But then again there are always people who still think they're right even if they're outnumbered 22,000,000 to 1.

I'll stick with 'woeful'. Do you have an idea for a better Ziggy song/album? (Considering you believe that this was just 'his first'; implying he got better).

 

[ChrisWins]

His first album was actually called "Conscious Party" and it's got good songs on it. Everything he's done after that has been better. If you think he's done nothing good then you have a very narrow view of good music.

Good day.

I like Eddy Grants music !

Is it just me or does anyone else suddenly have an urge to
rock on to Electric Avenue?

Bob Marley's nice, but I mostly stopped listening to him @ 25, 26. Doesn't everyone and his brother have "Legend"? If people claim to like reggae, I turn them onto Jimmy Cliff, whose albums I STILL listen to, or Toots & the Maytals. Their cover of "Take Me Home, Country Roads" is incredible, as is the whole Funky Kingston album. If you like Marley, check these out. Ziggy is still goo- did you hear "True To Myself" off the Dragonfly disc? Great!!!

First my brother and now my son..........both love 'Uncle Bob' as my son calls him. My brother had all his albums until a fire destroyed everything he owned - (thankfully, he was out when his house caught fire) - and my son has a good collection too. My brother even has the name 'Bob Marley' tattooed on his arm in large lettering. It looks pretty cool, too. He had it done when he was only 14.

My sister lived in Melbourne for many years and one day she went to a shopping mall and who should she see strolling through, but Bob himself! He was on tour there. She plucked up the courage to go and say hello to him, as she likes his music too, and she told us later that they chatted for about half an hour. That was definitely a treasured memory for her.

Strangely enough, my all-time favourite song by Bob is:

No Woman, No Cry!!
