The Vinyl Countdown # 19

Bob Marley, Survival (1979) Only just recently added this to my Bob Marley collection. I really love this album – but I’d ignored it for the longest time, figuring it was lesser. It’s not the case at all and (for right now at least) it’s one of my favourites from that magical decade of great […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 124

Bob Marley & The Wailers, Live! (1975) Bob Marley & The Wailers – at least the 1975 version of the band – sound frighteningly good here on what is one of Bob’s best albums, one of the greatest live albums and possibly one of the great-great albums – unless you’re my wife, who says of […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 303 

Bob Marley & The Wailers, Exodus (1977) I love Bob Marley – and yet I reckon he’s somewhat underrated. Hear me out…he’s a legend (pardon the pun), he’s an icon, he’s a figurehead. To many he is Reggae. To at least as many others he is the gateway. He is a hero to some people that don’t even […]

Reggae Knights: Ten Important Reggae Albums In My Life

I started this thing a while ago where I made lists of the top albums that I considered important – it’s a personal list; the albums that introduced me to a genre and have become firm favourites and/or pointed the way. The idea being that I list out my ten favourites – my ten important […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1622

Bob Marley & The Wailers, Natty Dread (1974) One of the first full albums by Bob that I heard. The first credited to Bob Marley & The Wailers. And what a great opening trio of songs. There’s passion, politics, melody, groove and so much of this music resonates with me still. But I don’t/can’t listen […]
