today since he passed away, great songs still played today, songs to make you happy, songs to make you sad, songs to make you think, and songs to make you dance! Rest easy Rastaman. One Love.

That long, that's frightening, where's all those years gone.

You‘ve hit the nail on the head. His music will still stand up in 100 years. Exodus is such a complete album from start to finish. It frustrates me that my son and daughter, and most of the younger generation don’t seem interested in exploring albums. It’s all about playlists for them unfortunately. Saw Ziggy and The Wailers 4 years ago, it was like watching the great man himself 😎🇯🇲❤️

I think you're right about albums in general. Music seems much more ephemeral now. It must be a generational thing. I'm always open to new music hence why I go to a lot of gigs at the Bootleg up town but all roads eventually lead back to the 70's and early 80's for me. Saying that, I really love bands like Suede, SFA, Belle and Sebastian, Interpol, Editors, Slow Readers Club.

As for Reggae: Marley, early Steel Pulse, Black Uhuru, Culture and Burning Spear get played a lot in our house.

Saw Ziggy a couple of years ago and he was superb.
I have to admit that I’ve got into the habit of you tube surfing, there’s only a handful of albums I’ll play start to finish nowadays.
 
Saw Marley & the Wailers in '76 when IMO they were at an absolute peak. Concerts were a 'contact high' 😉 and Catch A Fire/ Burnin'/ Natty Dread among my favourites still - plus Blackheart Man from Bunny Wailer who sadly passed away a few weeks back. ❤️💛💚

Probably right there, Hammersmith Palais? Think the 1975 live album finally got the ‘rock’ crowd onside re-reggae and the live version of ‘No woman no cry’ released as a single from it. We finally got to see him at Deeside Leisure Centre July 80. Went to his house and mausoleum a couple of years ago in Nine Mile up in the Jamaican mountains to pay our respects, quite moving.
 
If ever anyone is down in That There, head for Brixton Market next to the station. There's a craft ale bar where you can sit a watch things passing by. Marley blasting out from all around. Wonderful
