Warning: Reggae inside. →[More:] Ok, so this is ReggaeNoobFilter 101, but I seriously can't figure out how "Them Belly Full" isn't a classic. I figured it was a classic that I just hadn't heard before, but Last.fm charts don't show it in the top 100 tracks for either "Bob Marley" or "Bob Marley & The Wailers".

What's the deal, o wise ones of reggae?

Many people who like Bob Marley who aren't reggae fans. I suspect that's at least part of the reason why it doesn't appear on the Last.fm charts.
