Bob Marley Destiny Album: Destiny: Rare Ska Sides From Studio 1
Genres: Reggae
Holy Smokes! This vintage Bob Marley recording from waaaaaaaay back is valuable for its historic significance in tracing the roots of reggae and ska, but musically it's too brassy, bizarre, and cartoon-ish to merit repeated listens. Only purists and the most hardcore fans need apply.
Shaggy wisely samples a slice of Marvin Gaye's irresistible charm to dupe you into thinking he's got something worthwhile of his own to offer here. Sorry, Shags, the melody from "Let's Get It On" is the only thing to love about this one-note wonder.
“Scratch” the surface of Dr. Lee’s tripped-out genius with this electro-dub enigma. Mad Professor keeps a lid on the nuttiness, but you can’t hold down reggae’s original mad prof!
