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 creme de la creme, 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

 too cleaned up for the purist August 5, 2008
have a couple cassette tapes of cheap studio time-love the earthiness of his sound. you can hear the steel drums and the rushing of the dunns river falls in his music. this cd is too cleaned up. no rasta here, mon. guess i need to find his older stuff for the sound i crave.
 Falling in Love All Over Again July 23, 2008
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 of this album. Every time one is misappropriated or damaged, I find myself buying another copy. I could have made Marley rich just on the royalties I have generated over the last 25 years. No matter what the mood, Marley never fails to touch me with his music, his vibe and his raw emotion. I have loved many a band, many a song, many a musician, but will always be ultimately in love with this album and with songs lit "Stir it Up". No album can make me sing my heart out like this one, or sway in my seat so resolutely. It's impossible to believe anyone could not love these tunes.
defective track 7 July 15, 2008
great cd if all the tracks worked. I returned the first to amazon because track 7 just stops and won't play. I recieved a replacement and track 7 just stops and won't play. I have to forward it to track 8 to finish listening. My player plays all my other 80 plus cds fine. So the problem is in this cd.
a jamaican treasure July 1, 2008
"legend" has certainly come a long way from its 14 track vinyl format to its 16 track cd/ or cd/dvd configuration since its original release in 1985. if you want to appreciate his art in its entirety, you will have to get every album he's released. but if you're a novice and would like to get an overview of this great man's work, this is a great start (in any configuration).
Bob Marley is Great! June 29, 2008
I love this CD because it has a lot of his best songs!!! I'm glad I bought it and it was cheap!!!
