10) Burning Spear GARVEY’S GHOST
—
„One of the most revered artists in reggae, Burning Spear is nonetheless an acquired taste. His material is almost exclusively cultural and/or religious, staid, often somber, and just plain heavy in a similar way to Prince Far I, meaning that I can’t always sit and listen to Burning Spear’s stuff for an extended period of time. The 100th Anniversary includes the album Marcus Garvey and its dub Garvey’s Ghost — In my opinion, Garvey’s Ghost is even stronger, since it focuses on the music and because in the structure of Burning Spear’s songs, the loose verses are minor in comparison to the chanting choruses. The dubs drop most of the verses, but keep the choruses, giving you the best of both worlds: great music and great chants! There are too many great tracks to name, but my faves are the dubs „The Ghost,“ „I and I Survive,“ „Black Wa-Da-Da,“ and „Dread River.““
