Distance: 1.4 to 2.1 miles |
One could argue that the 70s reggae phenomenon had a greater impact on British pop music than disco, considering how great New Wave and punk artists like the Police and the Clash incorporated it into their sound. There’s no livelier way to walk than while listening to reggae music, and Bob Marley was a reggae legend. That irresistible rhythm is often perfect for skipping along, too. That Marley also uses it to express the spiritual and political aspirations of his people ads an extra to this wog.
