Rasta Shine: 1983. It was recorded across various sessions at Dynamic Sound Studios. and Tuff Gong Studios in Kingston, Jamaica, as well as Island Studios in London, England.
Rasta Shine: Legend by Mar... Bob Marley and the Wailers is not a conceptual story album but rather a post humorous greatest hits compilation which side note we actually kind of gave ourselves that little kind of caveat when we did this that we wouldn't do greatest hits but Yeah.
Nicole Shine: oops
Rasta Shine: we're kind of yeah we're kind of breaking the rule with this one but this should be the only one that we're gonna do So.
Nicole Shine: ah Yeah...
Rasta Shine: um It. ah And there it is. It serves as a definitive collection of 14 iconic tracks that summarize his global career, blending themes of social revolution, Romantic devotion and Rastafarian spirituality.
Rasta Shine: Alkylades. It's... best -selling reggae album of all time with over 25 million copies sold globally. it holds one of the longest chart runs in history spending well over 900 weeks on the us billboard 200 chart So babe.
Rasta Shine: How did you find out about this album? Did you discover it yourself or did someone introduce it to you?
Nicole Shine: and um I definitely discovered it myself. I mean, we've had this discussion about like. I think on Dark Side of the Moon and Um...
Nicole Shine: um paranoid.
Rasta Shine: Yeah.
Nicole Shine: Where we were like, you know, there are certain albums that have always been around You know. And this is one of them. um i think i'm pretty sure i discovered this on my own nobody in my family um Yes.
Nicole Shine: really in the reggae like that. So it had to be something I kind of picked up and discovered on my own. So.
Rasta Shine: No, that's pretty cool. It's always cooler when you can... um You know discover something on your own Unfortunately that's not the case for me. But fortunately. um I did my sister. Allison introduced me to it. and Bob Marley.
Rasta Shine: She had the cassette tape and I would hear it either. coming from her stereo in her room or via her car whenever we'd like. drive around, or she would drive me around.
Rasta Shine: So yeah. All right, so let's go through the tracks and talk about each one of them. First track. Is this love? a soft joyful love song from kaya blending warm romantic longing with humble imagery of shared shelter. Thoughts on Is This Love?
Nicole Shine: So... The only thing about this album before I get into my thoughts on the song is I can't do my radio song thing. With this being a greatest hits album.
Rasta Shine: No. Actually... Okay, I beg to differ. I'll say it for you. Which one? I think.
Nicole Shine: Okay.
Rasta Shine: when it comes up.
Nicole Shine: um I don't think... because i think a lot of these songs like i grew up in the northeast and there's a lot of um was Indian. people from the islands.
Nicole Shine: where i grew up in the northeast especially at the time i grew up so i'm
Rasta Shine: Yeah.
Nicole Shine: We, I heard a lot. uh, um especially dancehall reggae don't get me started but like these songs were songs that were played on the radio i'm sure you're talking you're thinking about like pop radio and which song We're play But. um i have very familiar with all these songs especially with this being the greatest hits
Rasta Shine: Yeah.
Nicole Shine: Um... But anyway. So. That's actually the song. Just move the banger.
Rasta Shine: Right?
Nicole Shine: Um. I love this song. This song is such a vibe. Um, It's pretty much perfect. Like. Um...
Nicole Shine: But yeah, this is a good one. This is one of my favorites. I'll let you guys know at the end when we do our wrap up if this is my favorite. But this is definitely. one of those songs that are just always as good.
Nicole Shine: You know what I mean? Like it.
Rasta Shine: Oh yeah, when it comes on, you immediately are like perking up. you know.
Nicole Shine: Yeah. It's the vibe.
Rasta Shine: Yeah. As with a lot of the songs on this album, honestly.
Nicole Shine: Hmm. Mm -hmm
Rasta Shine: Um, i was just thinking great opener eases you into the album like automatically transforms you to like a tropical setting Like if there was a song that encapsulated what it's like to be in a tropical setting, this is fucking it.
Nicole Shine: Yeah.
Rasta Shine: you know.
Nicole Shine: Yeah.
Rasta Shine: Alright. Next song is...
Nicole Shine: Also a gorgeous love song.
Rasta Shine: Yeah.
Nicole Shine: Yeah.
Rasta Shine: Yeah. Um, next song is no woman no cry which is live This is the definitive 1975. Lyceum London recording.
Rasta Shine: It's a moving community comfort song turning past hardships. into reassurance. Thoughts on No Woman, No Cry.
Nicole Shine: I love this song, but Wyclef kind of ruined it for me.
Rasta Shine: but Damian Wyclef
Nicole Shine: and we Everybody heard their Fugees. The version on the fucking score. but um
Rasta Shine: i Don't think I have thank God Okay.
Nicole Shine: Yeah, we' do I want to do a score one day. I don't know if...
Rasta Shine: Yeah, I'm sure.
Nicole Shine: when we'll get around to it but yeah the wyclef version it's like o
Rasta Shine: well I feel it.
Nicole Shine: but um Good song, yeah. um So, yeah, it kind of poisoned it for me because ill now I think of that.
Rasta Shine: Huh.
Nicole Shine: version when I hear the song.
Rasta Shine: Oh, that sucks.
Nicole Shine: Of course this one is of course superior.
Rasta Shine: The OG, yeah.
Nicole Shine: but um um yeah it's a really good song
Rasta Shine: Oh yeah. Like I put. Good live recording. for the time it was recorded, you know?
Nicole Shine: Mm hmm.
Rasta Shine: like because recording techniques have totally advanced since then and Yeah, I thought that was a really good. sounding live. song. especially from 1975 but yeah
Nicole Shine: Also really good lyrics.
Rasta Shine: Great.
Nicole Shine: it's like tells a story
Rasta Shine: Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
Nicole Shine: you know
Rasta Shine: Yeah. Um, Alright. Could you be loved? a late era upbeat dance track from Uprising. driven by funky clavinet and resilient social survival lyrics. Thoughts on Could You Be Loved?
Nicole Shine: yeah It's okay. It's like, man, I don't love, I don't hate it. Of course. i don't think i really hate any any song on here but
Rasta Shine: Yeah.
Nicole Shine: Uh... oh The only... What comes to mind when I hear this song is fucking Eddie Murphy Raw.
Rasta Shine: Exactly.
Nicole Shine: um
Rasta Shine: Yeah. Yeah. I was about to mention that. I'm glad you brought that up too.
Nicole Shine: and a dude named Dexter. Everybody who's seen Eddie Murphy Raw knows I'm talking about.
Rasta Shine: What's a girl like you be crying about? You should come back from vacation. Could you be loved? Oh shit.
Nicole Shine: Um... Yeah, it's ah it's okay. This one is the end. I don't think I enjoy dancey. Miley that much, but hey
Rasta Shine: Oh, okay.
Nicole Shine: Okay.
Rasta Shine: Interesting. Alright. That's funny you say that because I think I'm more like I don't really like. um political Commentary Marley. Um, But anyways. that's coming up But yeah, I...
Rasta Shine: It's a favorite of mine on the album. um that's basically what i put
Nicole Shine: kind of
Rasta Shine: Next song, Three Little Birds. a pure disarming burst of acoustic optimism from exodus promising that every little thing is going to be all right.
Rasta Shine: Thoughts on Three Little Birds.
Nicole Shine: i will say we probably just could have did exodus as an album Because a lot of these songs came from Exodus.
Rasta Shine: Oh really? Okay.
Nicole Shine: but um Yeah, I mean... Um... Again, when I hear this song, I think of freaking... um
Nicole Shine: The freakin commercial for the cruise line milk You know what I mean? those commercial
Rasta Shine: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nicole Shine: and it's like uh going through his album i was like they have taken so many of his songs and put them in shit movies and commercials and
Rasta Shine: Right? commercialize the fuck out of them.
Nicole Shine: And I'm like, I don't know how. happy he would be.
Rasta Shine: Yeah For real.
Nicole Shine: with the commercial how the over commercialization of his music i mean i i feel like he was one of those you know Peace love and you know, I want to Share my my...
Nicole Shine: music with everybody but at the same time it's like when you comment up in cruise commercials and commercials for like vacation resorts and
Rasta Shine: Not at the expense
Nicole Shine: You know what I mean?
Rasta Shine: Yeah.
Nicole Shine: I don't know. uh i don't but hey who's the another man's not around so We can't ask them, but...
Rasta Shine: No.
Nicole Shine: Um. Where we at? I done got sidetracked. I'm sorry.
Rasta Shine: No, no you
Nicole Shine: um i like this song it's another really cool vibey laid -back relaxing
Rasta Shine: Right?
Nicole Shine: Um... my Personally, my favorite Marley. When he's just like. on He's vibing out. You know what I mean?
Rasta Shine: Yeah for real. um Yeah, good positive lyrics and mantra and vibe and all that good stuff. Buffalo Soldier. a poignant historical reflection from confrontation addressing black military history and survival against cultural Erasure.
Rasta Shine: Thoughts on Buffalo Soldier?
Nicole Shine: I really like this one. um iconic um It's okay. Um...
Rasta Shine: Yeah, yeah.
Nicole Shine: I enjoy, I probably enjoy the political. You know Stuff more than you do. Yes.
Rasta Shine: Yeah. Yeah.
Nicole Shine: Me. you know we're not gonna get into that But... But um, yeah, so it probably speaks to me a little bit more to you
Rasta Shine: Yeah.
Nicole Shine: Um. But it's a good song. Yeah.
Rasta Shine: Yeah, I agree. Good song I. All right.
Nicole Shine: I think this one has been played a lot. like
Rasta Shine: Yes.
Nicole Shine: I think ah this one is... Been oversaturated To me, a lot.
Rasta Shine: Good point. Very good point.
Nicole Shine: Mm -hmm.
Rasta Shine: i was going to touch on that but i it's a good song it's not my favorite on the album but i do love saying that Oh well yeah, yeah. I mean that's always fun to just belt out So.
Nicole Shine: Yeah, I don't do that again
Rasta Shine: What?
Nicole Shine: What?
Rasta Shine: Don't do that shot.
Nicole Shine: I don't need that.
Rasta Shine: Don't hate on my whiteness
Nicole Shine: Anyway.
Rasta Shine: Anyway, moving on. Uh, Get up, stand up. A militant human rights anthem co -written with Peter Tosh. demanding active resistance against oppression thoughts on get up stand up
Nicole Shine: out of the It's funny because out of the two... Or... few. um uh political songs i think i enjoy buffalo soldier more as a song than get up stand up
Rasta Shine: Really? Okay.
Nicole Shine: Um. This one is a very infant, you know. Power to the people.
Rasta Shine: Yeah.
Nicole Shine: Yeah. Put your you know hand in the air my grandma really liked my grandma used to really like peter tosh by the way Side note.
Rasta Shine: First in the air.
Nicole Shine: but um Yeah, it's... it's Cool. I think I enjoy. Buffalo Soldier actually more than get up musically
Rasta Shine: Okay.
Nicole Shine: Like I enjoy like the sentiment and the lyrics behind get up stand up more But musically, I think I prefer Buffalo Soldier more.
Rasta Shine: Okay.
Nicole Shine: Then get up stand up
Rasta Shine: Interesting. I'm... No surprise, I'm very much The opposite. I think I like this one more.
Nicole Shine: Mm.
Rasta Shine: Um, Again, I'm not the biggest. of his you know um songs like this but out of them I like get up, stand up.
Nicole Shine: Mm hmm.
Rasta Shine: or So. all Alright, next song. Stir it up. an intimate sensual roots reggae love tune featuring the early group's lush vocal harmony Thoughts on Stir It Up?
Nicole Shine: Now we're back I love it.
Rasta Shine: Right?
Nicole Shine: I love this one.
Rasta Shine: Yeah.
Nicole Shine: I love his like. Romantic I'm singing to my woman. songs I think those are the songs of his that I enjoy.
Rasta Shine: Yeah. Yep.
Nicole Shine: More. um the most I don't know for I don't know. You think I would like, could you be loved more, but. I think it was like... the danciness of Could You Be Loved I didn't like.
Rasta Shine: Okay.
Nicole Shine: But. is this love stirred up oh my god those are two of the most like sensual gorgeous songs. I know his wife was like, oh, you know, it just, you know, just.
Rasta Shine: Yeah.
Nicole Shine: Yeah.
Rasta Shine: It's funny because when I was saying that. title i really had to try not to say steer it up Let's just start it up because it just... You know, it's steer it up, not stir it up.
Nicole Shine: Yeah.
Rasta Shine: Um, i'll stir it up
Nicole Shine: yeah this one's it's really like it's a vibe it's very sensual
Rasta Shine: Right?
Nicole Shine: Yeah.
Rasta Shine: it's Yeah, it's definitely... favorite from the album. it's just i love the great grooving bass line and yeah it's very sensual and just Yeah, being with your woman and... enjoying each other, yeah. it's Fucking great.
Rasta Shine: Next song is One Love slash People Get Ready. A gorgeous unification track. blending Marley's optimistic Rastafari mantra with Curtis Mayfield's gospel soul.
Rasta Shine: Sauce on. One live. People get ready.
Nicole Shine: Is this the the radio song? No.
Rasta Shine: Um...
Nicole Shine: It's definitely the commercial song.
Rasta Shine: Yeah, yeah, I put that on there.
Nicole Shine: Yeah. Because I heard that come to Jamaica.
Rasta Shine: Yeah, right. Seriously.
Nicole Shine: I that fucking commercial.
Rasta Shine: Fucking carnival or, you know.

Rasta Shine: All these white people dancing like, yeah, look, honey, I'm doing the Rastafarian.
Nicole Shine: Um...
Rasta Shine: Like stop it. Stop it.
Nicole Shine: Um... again a very... um, Good message.
Rasta Shine: m
Nicole Shine: Not my favorite. Um... It's okay. i don't dislike it but again it's
Rasta Shine: Yeah.
Nicole Shine: I feel like out of the... This is one has been probably the most commercialized. Out of all his songs for me.
Rasta Shine: Okay.
Nicole Shine: Um. So that makes me kind of enjoy it a little less. because the more
Rasta Shine: it diminishes it
Nicole Shine: yeah it diminishes it like i wish i could have heard it before that stupid ass commercial yeah
Rasta Shine: Yeah.
Rasta Shine: Right. Yeah. Thanks. Before Kathy Lee's, you know, fucking carnival. I don't remember if that was where I heard it. but For real, yeah. it's I just put this is a commercial song for vacations.
Rasta Shine: It's a great song, but yeah, that does diminish it a bit.
Nicole Shine: and And it's not far to his. it's just you know. what happens to people after they die in there.
Rasta Shine: Yeah, yeah
Nicole Shine: you know.
Rasta Shine: Alright. Next song, I Shot the Sheriff. a tense narrative of self -defense and corrupt legal systems that become a global crossover hit thoughts on i shot this sheriff
Nicole Shine: you're strong eric Eric fucking clapped and ruined it for me. um
Rasta Shine: Oh did he? Yeah he did cover this didn't he? This doesn't really hit when Eric Clapton sings it.
Nicole Shine: No it doesn't
Rasta Shine: Oh. What?
Nicole Shine: This one, of course, again, superior. stop People, stop covering Bob Marley. um Yeah, it's a A good song. a good Another good story. He was a really good storyteller.
Rasta Shine: Right? he
Nicole Shine: Like, this one Buffalo Soldier, like, he wouldn't, like, leave. leave a little story.
Rasta Shine: ah
Nicole Shine: and his songs. and um yeah he he ah I didn't really, I think, appreciate like how good of a storyteller he was. like to be able to tell an actual story, a narrative.
Nicole Shine: End of song.
Rasta Shine: In a two or three minute fucking song, man.
Nicole Shine: Yeah. and Tell a story. Have it not be like. this happened to me or this ah like actual it's very few songs that have an actual story
Rasta Shine: Right?
Nicole Shine: You know. So.
Rasta Shine: Yeah. Okay. This is actually the... Popular radio song I put. Um, Yeah, it's a good song, but the fact that that the radio played it so much it diminishes it a bit for me.
Nicole Shine: Did the radio play this a lot here?
Rasta Shine: it It was a radio song. I remember...
Nicole Shine: Yeah, I know
Rasta Shine: I think before I listened to the whole album. through my sister having it. I heard this one on the radio a lot And just everyone was like, oh, Bob Marley, I shot the sheriff.
Rasta Shine: Like, ah.
Nicole Shine: Yeah. i didn't grow up for our listeners i didn't grow up here in indiana I grew up in.
Rasta Shine: Yeah.
Nicole Shine: Philadelphia in and also
Rasta Shine: So it's very different probably.
Nicole Shine: Yeah, Philadelphia and also like South Florida.
Rasta Shine: Like exposure.
Nicole Shine: I went to high school in South Florida. Um. and live back and forth between Philadelphia and South Florida. before I moved here in my when i was 30. so um I...
Nicole Shine: So I always ask people, so if you hear me as a counter, oh, did they play this here? or
Rasta Shine: Yeah.
Nicole Shine: you know it was just popular here that's why i wasn't really like growing up we played totally different like there's stuff that i like at connor that i'll be like oh we played this all the time and kind of like they played that we didn't play out here or he'll say you know the same
Rasta Shine: Yeah.
Nicole Shine: So that's why I asked that. But yeah Interesting, that's cool
Rasta Shine: Yeah.
Nicole Shine: i wouldn't expect them well yeah i think out of all his songs i can see them playing that here
Rasta Shine: Yeah.
Rasta Shine: Was that supposed to mean?
Nicole Shine: No shade here.
Rasta Shine: No, just kidding.
Nicole Shine: I'm saying to Indiana. Alright.
Rasta Shine: Next song is Waiting in Vain. A pleading melodic esprit. expression of romantic vulnerability and anxious devotion. thoughts on waiting in vain.
Nicole Shine: This is another good romantic track. I know this is slow. he was like the master that should do it was like another like so slow romantic vibe
Rasta Shine: really is.
Rasta Shine: Right.
Nicole Shine: Yeah.
Rasta Shine: Just vibing. I fucking... Love this song. Um, It's a great song, and I love the vibe on it. Just.
Rasta Shine: No. No negative about it. It's just so great. So. Yeah. Alright, next song is Redemption Song. Stripped down to just Marley's voice and an acoustic guitar, serving as a profound spiritual and political final testament. thoughts on Redemption Song.
Nicole Shine: Yeah, I think out of all his like Brother man song.
Rasta Shine: but
Nicole Shine: Only here, anyway.
Rasta Shine: Yeah.
Nicole Shine: we We'll get to other albums. you know. later but i um I feel like this is my favorite. Um... as the ones on this album.
Rasta Shine: Yeah.
Nicole Shine: i like I love to just strip down. acoustic nature of it.
Rasta Shine: Yeah.
Nicole Shine: Yeah. Yeah.
Rasta Shine: It just, it's really beautiful when when artists can do that. um just them an acoustic guitar.
Nicole Shine: Peace.
Rasta Shine: and And again, man. his His lyrics and storytelling.
Nicole Shine: Mm hmm.
Rasta Shine: It's just a really powerful song. Really powerful. Next song is Satisfy My Soul. A gentle hypnotic lover's rock tune wrapped in biblical metaphor and smooth vocal phrasing. Thoughts on Satisfy My Soul.
Nicole Shine: Yeah, I'm gonna sound like a broken record, but... Again. are the you know Just... Smooth.
Rasta Shine: I know. No, no, you're not a broken record at all.
Nicole Shine: No. He was the latest man. He was the latest man. All the like smooth romantic. Lay back grooves, man. Okay.
Rasta Shine: I mean... Eddie Murphy wasn't wrong in that special when he was saying people go and Yeah, don't let your woman go alone. Fucking Jamaica. No, just joking.
Nicole Shine: Yeah.
Rasta Shine: But um Yeah. it's a Just another great song yet another flowing and vibing song and
Nicole Shine: Yeah, I think we cheated by doing as great as it.
Rasta Shine: We kind of did we kind of did
Nicole Shine: I told you. it's like... You're the greatest sister going to pick the, but you know. the best of the best you know and wait
Rasta Shine: But, you know. that's i i kind of yeah.
Nicole Shine: This is why this people is why we don't do great sit When we say we don't do the greatest hits, this is why, because every song is going to be a banger. This is the greatest hit.

Bob Marley and the Wheelers with this album. criticism. uh compilation make you want to like go back i mean that's kind of a valid question even if this is a gross hiss because you'll be like well i wonder if they missed any songs that
Nicole Shine: Yeah.
Nicole Shine: I like.
Rasta Shine: are bangers because we talk about that all the time.
Nicole Shine: Yeah, because...
Rasta Shine: how
Nicole Shine: A lot of songs they don't put you know, They put other songs that you really like as not singles. you know greatest hits are just the the popular songs but there could be like least popular songs i know in my two favorite bands the songs that people don't know are my favorite So.
Rasta Shine: Yeah. I always.
Nicole Shine: You know
Rasta Shine: I always thought that... I hate the... the title greatest hits because it really isn't it should be like number ones or you know singles because that's what it is you know

Nicole Shine: one love movie or whatever it was that came out But there was a really good documentary on him that came out like 10 years ago.
Rasta Shine: Yeah, we watched it Yeah.
Nicole Shine: that really dug into his whole story. and that kind of made me want also wanted you know. dig into his music a little more.
Rasta Shine: Right.
Nicole Shine: Um. but yeah i i figured with this one i would say yeah if i hadn't heard his other Stuff it would make me more curious to dig into it.
Rasta Shine: Yeah. Um, I kind of said no, just because, like... Up until this point I haven't really strayed from this album.
Rasta Shine: Um, and like now i know why it's a compilation because it just has all his stuff on there but I do agree with you where a lot of the times and in my own personal.
Rasta Shine: Bands that I love to that. I have the greatest hits over Or I know of the greatest hits and I'm just like, that's bullshit.
Nicole Shine: You know.
