well then, we should discuss the lists. I for one, am not a Bob Marley fan. where i live, in the most liberal city in the US, but also the most conservative, its quite funny when people my age(16) wear Marley shirts and have jamacian colored purses, and call themselves Rastas. then they procede to get into their BMW and drive off.

i am not a huge Guns n Roses fan, but they have 2 or 3 good songs

I don't mind Marley so much.
Coincidentally, enough, I've just downloaded about 10 of his songs in the last few minutes. I completely forgot about it being his birthday as I just copied and pasted that.
There's a few ''real'' Rastas at my school. They don't just have dreads either, they're really into it.

A brilliant song. As good as almost everything he wrote for The Beatles.

I think GNR's version of "Live and Let Die" is better than Paul McCartney's.

McCartney had quite the boring solo career.

I prefer Lennons solo too, of course, if he had lived longer, he could have made some bad stuff, but no, he was way too talented

Had? Is it over now?

Actually, I guess it never started, since John buried Paul...

I'm just kidding. Technically his solo career is not over, but you might as well say it is
