	Reggae Reviews: Peter Tosh
		Equal Rights is a pretty good example of why Peter Tosh doesn't do a lot for me. Even though he has a thick, distinctive voice, many of his songs just aren't that appealing, as they lack either strong melodies or strong musical hooks.
		Correctly, Tosh felt that Bob Marley's music did not necessarily teach the entire message of Rastafari, so he tried repeatedly throughout his career to get the same exposure, though he failed.
		Tosh has his detractors, and although I'm a big fan, I can understand the complaints that he's more suited to harmony vocals than lead...but Peter Tosh is the kind of singer that NEEDS to be heard live.
