Bob Marley/YMMV

• Acceptable Targets: The police and anyone in government authority, collectively identified as "Babylon." The term itself continues to this day.
• Covered Up: One Love (People Get Ready) is this of People Get Ready by The Impressions. Whilst People Get Ready is a relatively famous song in its own right, One Love is much more famous.
  • Wailers related, but actually sung by Bunny Wailer: Dreamland is a cover of a song called My Dream Island from 1962 by an obscure band called El Tempos. Somewhat egregiously, Bunny would credit himself as the writer of the song on every release from that point on. The original artist was not noted by reggae historians until the 1990s.
• Ear Worm/Crowning Music of Awesome
• Face of the Band: Of course.
  • Interestingly this wasn't the case during 1966 when he temporarily left the Wailers to work in America. Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer were the face of the band for several songs each during this period.
    • Further expansion: Bob sang lead on, and wrote, most of The Wailers' 60s and early 70s material. By 1970, the band were being credited as Bob Marley And The Wailers even when Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer sang and contributed their own material. Chris Blackwell insisted that Catch A Fire and Burnin be credited to The Wailers in order to give all the members equal credit, but Trojan and Studio One's releases from the same time period credited Bob Marley And The Wailers. When Peter and Bunny left a couple of years later, the band officially became Bob Marley And The Wailers again and it made almost no difference to their sound (female vocalists, I-Threes, replaced them on harmonies and none of Peter or Bunny's songs were used, with the exception of previously recorded ones being played live). Most people didn't know they were in the band.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: He was popular in France considerably before his mid 70s breakthrough, so many of his older recordings can be found there that can't be found in most places outside of Jamaica. France was even the first country where an attempt was made to collect all his 1967-1972 material, hence The Complete Wailers LPs have French liner notes (there are US CD versions which don't).
• Memetic Mutation: The use of "Babylon" as a derogatory term to refer to the police and government authorities.
• Moment of Awesome: In 1976, Bob, his wife and his manager were attacked by gunmen in his home two days before a scheduled concert, "Smile Jamaica," organized by then-Prime Minister of Jamaica, Michael Manley to cool tensions between two rival political factions. Despite being injured in the attack, Marley went right ahead and performed in the concert two days later.
