Truly a Legend

Obviously if you are a raggae fan you own stuff by Bob Marley, so this review is aimed at those who have yet to "get into" raggae music. For people like me, who just wander into a store and hope for the best, you couldn't pick better.

I usually listen to vastly different music than this, mostly in the hard rock/metal fields, but being a curious sort I decided about a year ago that I wanted to hear a little raggae. With that in mind, I wandered into a store and saw Legend. "Hey, I've heard of Bob Marley", and I happily took it home to see what this was all about.

AMAZING!!!

It doesn't seem to matter what kind of mood I'm in, what kind of music I just had on, or what I'm doing, this CD is always great. Every single song is worth listening to over and over and over, as I have done. Something about Bob Marley's music is able to step inside of you, so you don't just hear it with your ears, but your heart as well. I guess that's why he is a legend.

Songs like "Three Little Birds", "One Love", "Redemption Song", "Could You Be Loved", and so many others on this CD are simply amazing, worth owning if you like just about any kind of music at all. Also, "No Woman, No Cry" is a phenominal ballad, performed live in this collection, which has become one of my top 5 favorite songs in any genre.

In short, if you are looking for a place to start exploring the waters of raggae, its HERE.

EXCELLENT

Being a HUGE Marley fan the LEGEND CD is by far one of his best works. I own several CD's of his from real early stuff to later music and this CD I call my "feel good" music. It will be played at our 25th wedding aniversary in St. Thomas this April!!!!! Anyone who purchases this will definitely enjoy listening to it.

The Best of Marley

Many reviews have pointed out the huge significance and influence of Bob Marley's music. I just want to say that even though I have many CDs of his wonderful music, including interesting collections of early songs, if I had to keep just one CD, it would be Legend.

Marley even did an album in an earlier style, called Rock Steady, with one of his greatest songs: "Caution." Collections of earlier music include some of Marley and the Wailer's covers of soul classics which are excellent.

However, Legends clearly has his greatest songs including "Three Little Birds," "Exodus," and many others which other reviewers have elucidated quite well.

I was surprised that the others did not emphasize my all-time favorite Marley song: "No woman, no cry." The live version in Legends is perfection in music. To sum it up, anyone who is at all interested in Reggae music must have this CD.

This is music.

It's hard for me to imagine anyone saying that they love music until they've actually heard this album. This is REAL music sung by a very respectable man.
RIP Robert Nesta Marley.

A Reggae Classic

Perhaps the finest reggae album of all time -- easy listening, takes you right to Jamaica. If you haven't tried out this album, what are you waiting for...my kids now sing along to "Buffalo Soldier."
