generally i'm not very fond of their music, what i've heard

one or two damian tracks are good, can't stand kymani

might be a few good julian songs

not very impressed by stephen or ziggy either, except for a couple of tracks

I reckon as long as their still promoting rastafari and the reggae sound then they deserve respect(tu) If there`s a Marley son`s album id recommend then its this one: "Ziggy Marley and The Melody Makers-Best of 1988-1993" irie tracks like "Look Who`s Dancin Now,Tomorrow People,Tumblin Down and When The Lights Go Out"...

Ziggy's "Dragonfly" album, particularly the title track which is an absolutely must have even if it's just the single, it's not necessarily "roots" music but his vocals are heartfelt and passionate.

Other good Ziggy albums are "Now the Time Has Come" especially "Lying in Bed", and "Live Vol. 1". I have never listened to anything by the other brothers, a little too pop or hip-hop for my taste, but Ziggy has put out some very good work and he puts on an awesome live show.

big up ghetto youth for true, without them reggae would be too dry nowadays, i especially love the roots rock tunes they make but also dancehall tracks, everthing dey touch get a own style. take a listen on those tunes: lion in the morning, systems, justice, more justice, khaki suit, mind control, nice time, rebel, chase dem, and so on

No disrespect, but I think nothing at all of them, bless them.
If they're happy making a living the way they do - good for them.
Lots of people like that whole Marley dynasty thing but musically it seems to be of a dead end. That said, I haven't really heard any of Bob's progeny's works for a few years.
OK, I'll shut up now!

Fully agree, Damian is the better of them by a long shot
