Another vote for Redemption Song. If you haven’t heard Chris Cornell’s version with his daughter Toni yet, go and do yourself a favour and thank me later.

It's each to their own here and there's no doubt that Bob wrote a few crackers but for the lyrics alone l'm going for " No Woman no cry " ....." In this great future you can't forget your past "...the live version is just brilliant..." Everything's gonna be alright.."

It’s just a bit mainstream and not as revolutionary as his others. Bob is like the Beatles in that lots if his revolutionary stuff gets overlooked for the popular fun stuff.

Not as popular amongst the forum, but my vote goes to One Love.

Legendary performer Curtis Mayfield gets a joint credit, but it's as pure a Bob Marley feel good song as you can get.

Again my favourite Bob is War.

Why because it is part of a speech to the United Nations by Haile Selassie Emperor of Ethiopia, Bobs inspiration to convert to rasta.

that until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned;

I will never get over when my friend at school first told me about this song and was like, ‘everyone only talks about his three little birds and this is love songs but his revolutionary stuff is really good’. After that Bob’s music changed my life. Got me through some tough days.
