Exodus

by Bob Marley & The Wailers

The 92nd greatest album of all time

Exodus (1977) by Bob Marley & The Wailers is a landmark roots reggae album that pairs bass-driven, skanking rhythms with warm lead vocals and close backing harmonies. Its songs range from spiritual and politically charged lyrics to intimate love songs, carried by spare, dub-influenced arrangements, organ fills, and steady, groove-oriented production. Recorded while Marley was based in London, the record is often cited for combining militant themes and uplifting melodies into a concise, cohesive set of tracks.
