Today is Bob Marley’s birthday, so I thought I’d take a few minutes to reflect on the reggae legend’s legacy. But, really there’s not much to say that hasn’t been said already, so I’ll let his music speak for him.

I’d like to take a moment to recognize some bands who employ not one, but TWO bass players…

Enjoy.

Girls Against Boys – She’s Lost Control (Joy Division Cover)

(Sadly, there are no videos available for this band… However, they released 3 good post-rock albums in the mid-nineties, which are EXTREMELY hard to come by.)

Honorable Mention: The Cure – Lullaby

Robert Smith and co have been known to incorporate the 6-string bass along with the instrumentation. This song is a good demonstration.
