Yes it's true that Bob Marley wasn't the most faithful of all men and had a long list of vices. But so did Martin Luther King. I think what's important is that Bob Marley made people more aware of social injustice, peaceful rebellion, and that love that spreads through religious faith. He was not a Saint, but he spoke truth to power.

Jammin'\n\nhere is how he died. \n\nBob hurt a toe while playing football. The wound had become cancerous and was belatedly treated in Miami, yet it continued to fester. By 1980 the cancer, in its most virulent form, had begun to spread through Marley's body.\n\nHe fought the disease for eight months, taking treatment at the clinic of Dr. Joseph Issels in Bavaria. Issels' treatment was controversial and non-toxic and, for a time anyway, Bob's condition seemed to stabilise. Eventually, however, the battle proved too much. At the start of May Bob Marley left Germany for his Jamaican home, a journey he did not complete. He died in a Miami hospital on Monday May 11, 1981.

It's really a matter of opinion. That being said you'd have to consider any of the following:\n\nPeter Tosh\nBurning Spear\nBlack Uhuru\nGregory Isaacs\nSly and Robbie\nLee Scratch Perry\nMad Professor\n\nThe list could go on and on. While Bob is certainly the most well known, I wouldn't agree he is the "best". If it's your opinion that he is the best and you're looking for the best reggae artist besides Bob (which it looks like you are) then the answer to your question would be Peter Tosh since it was Peter who taught Bob how to play the guitar.

I love Ozzy, Sharon, jack and Kelly. They are the funniest family I ever saw. Ozzy cracks me up with the stuff he does, and his music rocks. I love his hair. Mine is naturally black too and the same length. I liked the red in his hair so much that I put it in the front of mine cupping my face. I wouldn't mind having his house. Might have to get the exterminator in first lol

Start with the greatest Bob Marley, then try some Steel Pulse, then some Peter Tosh, that will get you started and enjoy.
