Who was better, Peter Tosh or Bob Marley?

[@OneDem99]

Joseph hill said it well.. "every soldier is important in the struggle and there's no need to compare coz it's no competition"- 2005 Joseph Hills Interview.

[@TheAnnaFisher]

Apprecialove 🙏👏🙏❤💛🖤💚🇯🇲🌎 My concern is some misrepresentations in your documentary from all accounts. Our teacher, Joe Higgs, wrote Steppin Razor. You left Joe Higgs out of this, Reggae Gist. Joe Higgs, the 4th Wailer. Joe was a tireless commander and directed, fathered, mentored them. He opened his yard in Trenchtown to them and many other Rastafari and fed them and coached them. Wailing Souls and Marcia Griffiths can tell you more. 'Don't watch my size, I'm dangerous." After many battles for his intellectual property, Joe won finally. The judge focused on the two gentlemen's heights. Peter Tosh, off his unicycle, was over 6 feet tall, and Joe was barely over 5 feet. Why would a tall person sing those words when his size is already intimidating alone! Roger Steffens knew them all well. Please examine Joe Higgs' role in more depth. I am not sure about autoreader. It is often incorrect. Love the rest, but Peter was forced to recognize Joe's property by court order. Joe suffered. Blessed love, keep shining. Looking forward to the biopic. Stephen Raggamuffin Marley aka Ragga, added Joe's anthem, "There's A Reward," to his phenomenal new album, OLD SOUL. It is an accoustic nyabinghi version. Just lovely and healing. Backbto the other Joseph, Joseph Hill, he was remarkable and warm and welcoming as were his musicians in Culture Band. Kenyatta is extraordinary. "Unity is Power" - Joseph Benjamin Higgs 🙏👏🫶❤️💛🖤💚🇯🇲🎤🎸🎹🪘🎶🌎

[@Soli_Deo_Gloria_.]

Different approaches... Peter Tosh resonates with me better in all capacities.

[@hanksmiththemusicman5006]

Bob was greater... commercially, not afraid to say that. Peter was the exact opposite of the easy going island boy image of Bob and therefore had a different fan base, not as great as Bob but just as dedicated! There was room at the table for both of them and they got their fill...

[@markhoward52]

The three had chemistry, but, Bob had the songs. It's as simple as that really from an industry point of view.

[@lonspram3922]

Peter was truly extremely militant and unwavering in his beliefs. Bob wanted to reach the masses and I respect that too. Someone once compared Bob to MLK and Peter to Malcolm X although I believe Bob had a lot of Malcolm in him as well. He was just more palatable and that’s just the truth. Love them both.

[@margarethunte8515]

Love both of dem but tosh was a rebel real hard ball

[@cassandraspruill3872]

They both were Deep and had messages for the multitudes. I was raised listening to them both so for me they were both genius in all the music they made, with that being said I get a message from each and they were both great at their Art so neither is better than the other but Both are Great.

Peter represents the rebellious spirit of a revolutionary , I see him in the same breath as Marcus Garvey, Malcom x , Steve Biko. Marley just appealed to the white market.

[@sundayaito4366]

@amosmukuka, grow faster like Marley?? At the end of the day, tosh and marleys body of work is there to prove who the better man is, and Bob Marley is clearly the better man with more hits by far.

Music that feeds the soul does not need to be compared, it the frequency and vibration that moves an individuals ENERGY from any song!

Peter Tosh is the true legend. Bob Marley is of duty mixed blood that is why he is out front.

[@RichardHeissler-cm2mf]

I love Tosh, but his songs do not appeal to a crowd! I would never play Tosh at a party, as much as I love him, but my guests would not enjoy the music regardless of his race! Sorry bro!

[@trevormunroe8684]

We do not need these types of comparisons. Peter, Bob, and Bunny are cornerstones. They needed to be together for a time and they needed to be apart for individual growth.

[@marcofacen9564]

Everything needs at least 3 legs pon di ground to stand stable... they should've treated each other with more respect while they were still alive. Not saying that splitting up was wrong... they were strong and very different characters. But it was this "I am more... than you" that started the separation in a spiritual way. And the influence from outside. Nothing inside those 3 friends.

Comparing the two is criminal, Peter said himself their music is Devine and could never be in competition or compared

[@philbis2774]

Peter Tosh gave many Passionate and Dangerous political speeches ever given by a Musician Peter was the greatest of them all SO much bigger than Marley.. Who else would be Smoking a spliff on stage 🔥Peter done it his way at the One Love Peace concert Peter belittled Prime Minister and the Opposition Leader sitting right in front of him that's a true legend of Reggae Music. Peter's personal attack from the stage in which he accused Manley to his face of not doing enough to help the poor is a timeless message for all of us to hear a Real rastaman... .. While The Beatles Rolling Stones Bob Dylan & many other music artists all smoked dope.. Peter's debut studio album had him sitting in a Cannabis Feld 🔥Peter Tosh was the architect of Reggae. Bob had Chris Whiteworst I wish Bob Marley was more like Peter Tosh because we would have had a Revolution by now .. To all Bob Marley fans wake up from your slumber mentality lets bring down the shitstem Fight the shitstem. Be a rebel oh bomboclaat

@@sundayaito4366 Tosh is.

[@greun]

@@sundayaito4366 Ok, explain why

[@sundayaito4366]

@@greun Marley had sold more records, a bigger indicator as to who is better. He is more popular globally. Marleys music is more soulful and intectually stimulating than anything Peter Tosh put out. Marleys music has depth and did a better fussion of reggae and rock that makes for a successful cross over of the reggae genre to international audience. Marleys impactful songs of freedom and social justice is such that the United nations honoured him with the peace medal of freedom. Marleys funeral in 1981 in Jamaica is the biggest ever of any celebrity on that island, an indicator of how respected he was as an artist and a human being both at home and abroad. His success was not handed to him freely. It is based on talent and hard work. That you re here attempting to show that Peter tosh is as relevant as Bob Marley shows who the standout super star is between both artist: that person is Bob Marley. The world had spoken because of his body of work.

[@greun]

@@sundayaito4366 thanks for your answer .In my opinion , Peter Tosh is heavy underrated Especially here in the West. Marley sold way more records that's true but doesn't say he's better than Tosh I think that Tosh his songs have more depth and meaning. I respect Marley and I love his music but Tosh is the legend in my opinion. But maybe it's just a matter of taste . Peace

Perfect narration both are equally top ❤️

Peter tosh was a rebel who spoke out his mind and sang mostly about iniquity and oppression and Bob Marley was a rebel too who sang about one love and peace. Both are great. Both were soldiers on the same mission but executed them differently.
