Bob Marley

No one did more for spreading the Jamaican culture and the Rastafari religion across the world than Robert Nesta Marley. But even though he was famous as a reggae artist, his songs go beyond any genre classification: his songwriting is so advanced that they would work just as well, played in any other style (and have been covered this way countless times). It also helps that Bob and Peter Tosh really hold their own as fantastically lyrical blues-inspired solo guitar players.
