Amazon.com essential recording: Even as greatest hits packages go, this is an utter gem. Every song is inspired, in a class of its own, whether the real version of "I Shot the Sheriff," the hymnlike "No Woman, No Cry," or the sheer joy of "Jamming." Even allowing that Marley never wrote any bad material, then Legend is still the crème de la crème, the heart and soul of the Jamaican people packed into one five-inch compact disc. He was unique, and the message of this record, more than any other, is that he died far too soon. --Chris Nickson

Average Rating:
Rating: - Best of Bob Marley
A wonderful CD to listen to while exercising, with just the right tempo to take you from build up to cool down.

Rating: - Just can't go wrong with Legend! Timeless classic!

OK, I am dating myself...Even so, the very first 45 record I fell in love with was The Eagles, Hotel California with Pretty Maids in a Row on the flipside. The first 8-track was Mothers Finest. Then along came my boyfriend with a tape of Bob Marley's Legend album and I remembered what it was like to fall in love with music again. Since that first listen, I have been through MANY tapes (some melted in the back of my car, some suffered the undesirable fate of one too many listenings, which caused the ribbbons to snap, some sufered cracked cases and still others were 'BORROWED') and had several CDs ...
