John Holt or Bob Marley

[Jay Park]

Apologies if a similar thread has been posted before.

Just wanted to ask you lot, that besides Marley’s very early - and very great - stuff. Who do you think or find to be the better contributor to roots? Kudos for anyone that mentions Burning Spear and even Chaka Demus and Pliars. For me John Holt all the way.

 

[Jay Park]

Beautiful

Tho... Tenor Saw was another level, that was the shift from roots to dancehall. Otherwise I might have said he.

I like Dennis Brown. Nice to have the whole lot though.

How can you untangle Sir Coxone, Lee Perry, Max Romeo, Dennis Brown, Peter Tosh and many more? It's all too interconnected and cooperative.

I saw Sir Coxone /Lion pulse last year. He has the most beautiful face.
I thought the bass was going to rupture my spleen at one point.

wait - yeah. I just read the first line and thought Soundsystem

 

[Jay Park]

Dennis Brown was good but was he on the level of John Holt?

 

[Jay Park]

Lee Perry was pure dub, King Tubby, Augustus Pablo, also.

I was hasty in defining roots reggae. In fact presumptuous.

Not to mention the mighty Aba Shanti Sound System which has been most responsible for most vibrating my eyeballs and being with bass.

 

[kalidarkone]
