[edit] Merger proposal
I propose that Bob Marley Terror Single be merged into Bob Marley. I think that the content in the Terror article can easily be explained in the context of Bob Marley, and the Bob Marley article is of a reasonable size in which the merging of Terror will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. The Terror article is just two short paragraphs and contains no references. Dave
Please help!

- It certainly would fit in with the main BM article, if it had any citations to its claims.--Chimino (talk) 05:54, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
- In its current state it can't be merged as it doesn't have any references. The article itself should be deleted outright.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 00:57, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Discography
Does anyone have any ide why what i consider to be the greatest Bob MarlEy and the Wailers album BABYLON BY BUS is not mentioned in the discography having been released in 1978? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.4.173.130 (talk) 19:17, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
- You can add it if you want, but it is not mandatory to do that. Regards.--♫Greatorangepumpkin♫T 20:51, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
- Right now there only seem to be his studio albums listed, perhaps it shouls stay so?--Chimino (talk) 23:22, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Ska, really?
I would like to discuss the following section from the Wikipedia Section:
"He was the rhythm guitarist and lead singer for the ska, rocksteady and reggae band Bob Marley & The Wailers (1963–1981)."
First, I would like to remove any doubt regarding my appreciation, love and respect for Bob Marley and Reggae. Bob Marley had the soul, the skill, the wisdom to write music addressing political and cultural issues largely still existing--to a much lesser extent. His, "Redemption Song," is one of the most passionate, beautiful and elegant pieces of music I have ever heard. While his music became a commercial success, Bob Marley's primary goal was to spread awareness an understanding regarding the struggles of freedom against inhumanity.
I find the inclusion of, "ska," associated with Bob Marley highly offensive. Also, I find the article regarding ska in general to consist of historical revisionism. Ska, gained popularity in the nineties. In general, the music of the nineties sucked. Consequently, ska was able to gain an audience. Ska is characterized by the combination of a swing ensemble with the slower beats of the Reggae and a predominately white band. Ska is nothing more than mainstream, white, bastardization of the Reggae music.
I hope people do not find it to offensive when I write: white people do not have the soul for Reggae. Why? There is no white struggle; there can be no white Reggae. Consequently, ska appeals to middle class white suburbanites who like the sound of Reggae but cannot relate to the soul of Reggae. Ultimately, ska is a horrendous form of music.
For those who understand analogy: Ska is to Reggae as The Monkeys are to The Beatles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.229.31.144 (talk) 17:02, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
- Putting aside your racist comments for a moment, you really should read up on the history of Jamaican music as you clearly don't understand what was going on during the 1960s.--Michig (talk) 17:15, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
The person question the inclusion of ska in refernce to Bob Marley and the Wailers is clearly confused and seems to hae little knbowledge of the history of The Wailers. What kind of music do you think One LOve is, Simmer Down,etc. It is ska. Not just my opnion but fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Windmiller (talk • contribs) 20:40, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
