Why he might be annoying:

    While Bob Marley achieved music icon status, he is more widely known outside reggae circles as an actor.
    It took him 31 years of recording before he had his first Top 20 U.S. hit, a remake of Johnny Nash's 'I Can See Clearly Now.'
    He stupefied reggae purists by shifting to electronica music for his 2004 album 'Black Magic.'
