Legend - Bob Marley & The Wailers
Review of Legend [Remastered] - Bob Marley by Essexgirl2006

Advantages: Fantastic tracks, very listenable album
Disadvantages: Sun is SHining is not on it

...version of the song on Legend is not from Natty Dread but from Live! which was a live album that the band recorded in 1975 at the Lyceum in London. It is worth noting that the writing credit for the song is given to a Vincent Ford, a friend of Marley's who ran a soup kitchen in Trenchtown. It is thought that Marley himself actually wrote it, but the royalties kept the soup kitchen afloat. The song stands out, particularly live, because of the hook ... Read review

Everything's gonna be alright.
Review of Legend [Remastered] - Bob Marley by paulhanton

Advantages: Pretty much the best of Bob Marley.
Disadvantages: A couple of his earlier tracks could have been included.

...and the first release of Legend was in 1984. 10 platinum albums later, having been on vinyl, cassette, and CD it remains the biggest selling album of it's genre (well I couldn't find any bigger) and arguably the greatest set of Marley songs on one album. The album was 'remastered' in 2002 and two more tracks from the original 14 were added; 'Easy Skanking', in my opinion a great addition, with some very cool lyrics, Marley at his laid back best, ...

In the memory of Bob
Review of Legend [Remastered] - Bob Marley by sam123

Advantages: read
Disadvantages: dead

...rain. Bob Marley is a legend who will never fade, his bright light shines as boldly as ever before, as a new generation take up his music, just like every other will after this. He is an inspiration to musicians and ordinary people alike, regardless of who ever they are. In my view simply the best, a gifted man who's life was sadly taken by the deadly disease cancer. His memory however will live on! ... Read review

Advantages: All and i do mean ALL of the Great Ones best songs, great for relaxation
Disadvantages: Nothing not even one song is a dud or filler

...of my eye I saw Legend The best of Bob Marley and he Wailers. Sounds good 'the best of'.

The best ever
Review of Legend [Remastered] - Bob Marley by sid

Advantages: excellent musician
Disadvantages: none-died too young

Although, Bob Marley is dead his music lives on. The album ‘Legend’ is a brilliant album, I can’t find on song that is the ‘weak’ link. His lyrics are excellent, they are from the heart and have deep feelings and meaning. What Bob Marley did was through music put Jamaica on the map. His life was cut short when he died in his 30’s, however his spirit lives on through his music. This man will not be forgotten so easily. He his one of ... Read review

The Legend Lives On
Review of Legend [Remastered] - Bob Marley by Sticky_fingaz

Advantages: Classic, easy listening
Disadvantages: Not much really!

...Marley's death in 1984, Legend comprises a collection of Bob's greatest and most celebrated hits. It is in this album, that he demonstrates his strong Rastafarian faith and love of the music. HIs most famous hits like 'Jammin', 'One Love' and 'Buffalo Soldier' to name a few are coupled with the powerful classics 'Redemption song' and 'Exodus'. What particularly attracts me to this album, is its laid back nature. After a long, hard day, you canc ... Read review

Review of Legend [Remastered] - Bob Marley by nicolap

Advantages: The easy listening nature of the album
Disadvantages: n/a

...and white music lovers. Legend is a compilation of some of his greatest musical triumphs, which should be appreciated by all. The style throughout is obviously reggae, yet is very varied within that boundary. There are the classic quiet songs, such as the popular 'No Woman No Cry', written about his beloved home, and 'Jammin' - another fairly well track. However, alongside this are songs with more movement and life, such as 'Exodus', 'Buffalo Soldier', ... Read review

Review of Legend [Remastered] - Bob Marley by fleary

Advantages: 14 great songs, good introduction to reggae at it's best
Disadvantages: Only 14 tracks

...Bob Marley was a true legend and an inspiration to millions of people, Africans,Rastafairians, Jamaicans alike. This album portrays 14 of his best songs from throughout his career. I think any die-hard reggae fan should have this in his collection and anyone who is looking to explore other cultures or wants to learn more about Marley and reggae in general would really be missing out if they did not buy this album. 'I Shot The Sheriff'; 'Get ... Read review

Advantages: ace
Disadvantages: dead

Bob Marley- Legend He for me on of the greatest artist ever to live and this album contains some of Bob MaRLEY’S FINEST it has the stunning “No women no cry” recorded at the London lyceum concert, and for me is a truly great song. A heart-rendering classic, at a time when Bob was at his best. my favourite songs on this album are “Buffalo soldier,” which is a sad ballard dictating how black men were forced into the union army to kill Indians.

Advantages: Triffic Album!
Disadvantages: none

...his soul. This man is a legend and will be forever, he has touched the souls of many and managed to bring everyone together with his music. Any music lover would love his album ‘Legend’. Famous, unforgettable tunes like Waiting in Vain and Is this Love. His music is ideally placed with a stiff drink on a nice relaxing beach, however, on this occasion it’s not possible! Chill out in summer with Bob Marley! I have been to Jamaica and the people ... Read review

Review of Legend [Remastered] - Bob Marley by AshC

Advantages: Its bob marley
Disadvantages: None

Although generally a metal loving musician i am also partial to a bit of Bob marley, i was bought this CD as a present from a fellow band member a few years ago and can honestly say this has rarely left the player. The CD is a must have for any Marley fan or anyone who wants some decent music to chill out to. It has all of Bob marley and the wailers greatest songs on and some songs which may not be well known but are fantastic. Musically the ... Read review
