Listening to the mainstream commercial stations, you'd think that Bob Marley was the ONLY Reggae artist who had ever existed, and you wouldn't even know that the genre continued to thrive after his death. He's the ONLY one played, unless you go to non-comm stations or certain stations on satellite radio, or internet radio.
Thank you Eli, I've made the same comment many times about radio stations patting themselves on the back for playing 'reggae' when all they do is throw an ancient Bob Marley tune on once in a while. The worst has got to be Sirius radio's reggae station, if you can even call it reggae. There's reggae and then there's reggae for aging Caucasian baby boomers.
