Clifton Bailey ,mark myrie and even kalonji a better musician...bob was famour cause him father a white british.simple as that. But he was damn good too.
Numbers indicate that he is the most successful... but does it mean he was actually the greatest Jamaican musician? Nope
Bob was great... his music would send your mind into a wonderland. It's all a matter of opinion though. We have PETER TOSH, JACOB MILLER, DENNIS BROWN, GREGORY ISAACS, BURNING SPEAR, JIMMY CLIFF, THIRD WORLD, Maxi Preist and even Shaggy who are all great contenders.

some fool ah talk bout bounty being the greatest when kartel wrote ALL his hit songs!! Bob marley is the greatest!! Anthing esle is known as bobby socks.
Bob Marley the greatest. It was not only the music but the influence it had on lives. He reached where even today young musician are fighting to reach and may never reach farless to dominate as Bob did.
I like Bob's music and he was promoted a lot as said before me but I don't think he's the best when he's put against someone like Garnett Silk who i think is the greatest...
