HELL NO! Bob Marley was not only a GREAT political figure, but EVEN though Jimmy Cliff and many others came before him; HE is the one who put REGGAE on the map. TONS of GREAT Reggae, SKA, SKA-PUNK & Reggae/Rock hip-hop & other Reggae Fusion music would NOT exist without this amazing musician and amazing person. He's not the groundbreaker but he IS the most recognizable FORCE for bringing Reggae to the masses.
If you think not, just ask my 10 kids and over half of TUCSON, and they'll gladly give you an in-depth breakdown as to WHY bob marley is a MUSIC god.

I proudly cast a LOUD and irrevocable "NO!". "Get Up, Stand Up", alone, puts him among the greatest of all time.

Bob Marley's "Redemption song" is the one that does it for me! He is great!

the stunning clarity of his band is amazing enough..ass to that BVobs charisma and style and like Dan says, they're legends.
When I listen to tracks like Exodous in the studio on the Genelecs it just floors me, it sounds like they are in the room with you!!
I guess a lot of that is that they recorded that way, as a band rather than building up from bass and drum tracks, and the fact that they played soooooo well.
Just try and get a band to play that tight, everyone playing for the song and totally in the pocket..
they were a rare phenomenon.

I believe that question has been overwhelmingly answered. I'm sorry, but you seem to be in a minority of one.

Overexposed?
Absolutely.
Overrated?
I M P O S S I B L E!
I mean, there is always the tendency to call the seminal figure of any musical movement "overrated". But you cannot escape the fact that they define that movement as well as their own moment in time. And yes, a figure like that tends to become taken for granted, due to their ubiquity. (Is that a word? I think it is.) But definitely not overrated. Again, it would be impossible for somebody like that to be overrated, just as it would be for The Beatles or Chuck Berry or even Elvis Presley. (Yeah, Elvis was a BADASS back in the 50's, no matter what drugs and Vegas did to him later on.)
Just accept the fact that Bob is The Man, and avoid him, if you're sick of him.
