The Greatest Music
Legalize It
by Peter Tosh
The 543rd greatest album of all time
Legalize It is Peter Tosh's 1976 debut solo album after leaving the Wailers. Rooted in roots reggae, it features groove-driven rhythms, prominent bass and drums, offbeat guitar skanks, organ and horn touches, and Tosh's assertive baritone. Lyrically it mixes personal and political themes, most notably open advocacy for cannabis legalization on the title track. The record helped define Tosh's solo identity with a direct, uncompromising sound and socially conscious songwriting.
