It always has been, and will always be Bob Marley. In my opinion, he's one of the greatest musicians of all time, and it's because of the Reggae influence he's left on the world. The reason why people all over the globe know about Reggae music (and create their own) can be accredited to Bob Marley.
The way he performed live, the amount of heart and soul he poured into each and every performance, it's almost as if he were playing his songs for the public for the very first time (or the last time). One could also say that it seemed as if he was a fan of his own music. Even when he was ill, and the cancer was spreading throughout his body, it never hindered his performances.
My favorite albums are Exodus and Rastaman Vibration, and my favorite track is Exodus.
