Also, the hammond overdubs might have been necessary to break this album in the 70's rock market, but sitting here in 2020, it's hard to conclude that the original mixes weren't better before Island fucked with it.

i always try listening to *african herbsman* and find myself start thinking, "why am i not listening to *catch a fire*?"
like i said, i'm probably just a bad person, so it's okay.

"small axe" is one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded

I do love Soul Rebels and Soul Revolution but it's the atmosphere on this thing that carries it into a different realm altogether. I don't know that I can vote for anything other than Stir It Up.

Voted for "No More Trouble" on the strength of its live inclusion as the hook in the medley with "War"

Man, this is tough.
Bob Marley might have the biggest, best, deepest catalog for an artist revered by so many for just a single hits comp.

yeah i was spending a lot of time with natty dread the other day and thinking it deserved to be polled too lol

or the lyceum live record, which is a record that comes v close to rivaling this one

Natty Dread was always my dad's favorite, so I have a soft spot for that one.

c'mon everyone no-one in this thread has mentioned "midnight ravers" yet wtf
that said for me it could be any of "midnight ravers" or "concrete jungle" or "stir it up" or "slave driver" or "kinky reggae" or "no more trouble", so guess that's halfway understandable.
The organ blasts (I assume from Tosh) on "no more trouble" are insane.

kinky reggae is my runner up, and might get my vote due to the sneaking suspicion that concrete jungle is gonna win by a lot

the guitar solo on stir it up is one of the cutest, happiest moments in the history of recorded sound
