The concept of Goth-reggae makes me head asplode. Mon.
Seriously, every one of these exists. Reggae is big. 
Well, they don’t. It was mostly a reference to the blues artists that Zeppelin stole from.
Yes, it’s time to roll over Beethoven, with steam roller, baby, powered by rhythm & blues!
“It was mostly a reference to the blues artists that Zeppelin stole from”
Yeah, and Paul Simon stole the music on “Graceland” from Africa and Yo Yo Ma is stealing from Haydn.
I’m lucky in that I have a local radio station that plays a blues show every week. Most people don’t have that kind of opportunity for hearing blues music.
Clapton’s blues records have brought the music and classic somgs to a very wide audience. You think it would be better if some folks never heard the blues at all if the “Im Tore Down” they hear isn’t “authentic”?
I’ve written blues songs - I’m stealing music from somebody?
I don’t know why Bob Marley music is such a point of concern. The first reggae I heard in the 70’s blew me away and I’ve always loved it for what it is, not for what others have turned it into.
I think Marley should be right up there with all the great innovators of popular music.
Not to derail the thread, but the word your looking for is influenced, I mean stolen, with lawsuits, and everything!

I don’t understand. I am saying that no one stole anything. I am actively disagreeing with those who stated plainly " the blues artists that Zeppelin stole from"
Why would I be looking for any word,? I think my post is clear as itstands
Except, as provided in the link you’re responding to, Led Zeppelin did steal.
You said A, which I feel is wrong and responded with B, cites to the contrary. That’s how things work. I suppose if you didn’t want a rebuttal, an internet forum might be a strange choice to express one’s opinions.
Here’s some more: Led Zeppelin paid many of the performers settlements, and even added them to the writing credits…not really the actions of innocent people.
Too bad they didn’t steal any Bob Marley music too, or this might be relevant :dubious:
Well, there was “D’Yer Maker”…
Link? I and I need the goth-reggae!
As for goth-reggae, that would be interesting. I mean in my mind, there’s reggae, and songs with a reggae rhythm. Closest thing I can think of with a reggae rhythm would be Bonfire by Knife Party (dubstep reggae).
Maybe Last Train to Doomsville by Dub Syndicate (Lee “Scratch” Perry)?
BTW. There’s some awesome footage of LSP doing his magic in the new Marley documentary.
A quick google led me to Impulsive Lust.
No. Hell no.
I’d rather devise a dual-feed mp3 player that sent Steel Pulse to my right ear, and Sisters of Mercy to the left.
And don’t you DARE get me started about Robert Johnson :mad: :mad: :mad:
The Complete Recordings is one of the heavier played CDs in my collection.
Yeah, the Bad Brains are a reggae / hardcore punk band: it made for some entertaining concerts. Rick Ocasek of the Cars produced their work for a while.
Re the OP: The Grammies are an extended infomercial for the music industry. You may as well complain about the weather.
Also: I’d say Bob Marley is way more influential than the the Beatles, although the latter have a great deal more mind-space. That’s what happens when you are a major innovator of an entire genre of music. I’m not a fan of Marley: I don’t own any of his albums. But his influence is widespread and profound, owing some to the lesser success of Peter Tosh, Toots and the Maytals et al and indirectly to Jamaica’s modest musical market. For better or worse Marley is the front-man for reggae.
