#22: Bob Marley & The Wailers - Catch a Fire (1973)

Original cover art, designed to look and move like a Zippo lighter. Only 20,000 were produced.

Emily: In choosing what to listen to today, I was looking for something laid back and relaxed. Bob Marley fit my mood perfectly. Although the songs tend to sound the same, each one has a super-chill vibe that evokes laying on the beach in a hammock, or smoking weed, or perhaps the two together - whichever you prefer is cool with me and Bob.
Favorite Tracks: Stir It Up, Baby We Got a Date (Rock It Baby), Kinky Reggae

Zack: Oh, the things I would give for hair as awesome as his. It's so rich and luxurious! Anyway, Bob Marley is just Bob Marley. All the music he makes is relaxing and you just want to lay down and vibe off it. Really, vibing is all you can do to this album. You can't listen to it because listening implies concentration and if you're concentrating on this music, you're missing a huge part of it. Bob Marley isn't about listening; it's about experiencing. If you are going to enjoy his music, you have to let yourself crawl into it. If not, you'll probably just find it boring.
