Great episode and great album. I know other people have probably said it but playing samples of the songs is so nice.

Wanted to say that I really appreciate you and Jennie always managing to make these episodes happen with how busy you two are. Y'all are great as always! And, I like when Jennie gives Shawn a hard time lol Sorry Shawn
Great to see you come around to reggae though dude. Bob Marley is definitely a much easier way to get into the genre. The man's an absolute legend. And personally Three Little Birds is one of the greatest songs imo. I agree with everyone else that this compilation was a strange pick from RS though. Catch a Fire and Exodus are both great studio albums by him. Also, Idioteque is dope! Kid A is my favorite album of theirs. I'm hyped for Prince next week! ๐ Keep up the great work!

I haven't looked at the Rolling Stone Top 500 Albums list whatsoever beyond watching this podcast, but if this compilation is the only reggae on it....... well then yeah that would check out very much with what I expect of Rolling Stone.

When I was in an Uber a couple months ago the driver was playing this compilation, so it was kind of cool to hear a Record Club pick IRL and not because I put it on.
A lot of great tunes but also a lot of โsafeโ tunes. Iโm interested in checking out a proper โfullโ album to get a better take on Bob Marley. My favorites were Exodus, Jamming, Redemption Song and Could You Be Loved.
Dirty Mind has one of my favorite Prince songs! I havenโt listened to the album in full but itโs a nice 30 minutes so thatโs rad.

I had Head Underwater by Jenny Lewis on pause when you selected next week's song/album... Record Club freaks me out.

I also usually hate that they put greatest hits albums on here but Iโll give this one a pass because it was always pretty prolific. It was definitely the Bob Marley album I was listening to in Highschool. But yeah obviously banger after banger but I just feel like Iโve heard them all too much at this point and wasnโt 100% feeling it this time. Iโm sure if I was in more of a mood for this it would get a much higher rating from me but for now Iโm just feeling a 3/5. Still great though.

Greatest hits records shouldn't be on this list. It would be stupid to give this record a rating. Of course every song is great! It's unfair. Anyway, Idioteque is a 5 for sure.
