That Wilco post was about the last 25 years. The Wailers have dropped zero albums in that time frame. Burning Spear's best years were just behind him by the mid-eighties even though he kept at it for a long time after that; also, Burning Spear is a guy, not a band. Ziggy Marley... guffaw. I'm the biggest reggae fan you'll care to meet and I can't cosign that - he's like the third most talented living Marley. Sly and Robbie.. that's a weird case because they were the power behind a lot of classics (though the albums released under their own name are mostly a lot of hodge podge dub collections and stuff). But personally, if I look at a rack of official Sly & Robbie albums, I see more middle-of-the-road stuff with bombass production than classics that I couldn't live without.
