Bob Marley And The Wailers -- Legend
Yeah Yeah Yeah, he's a brilliant man and had one hell of a career! But every white boy jock, hipster- wannabe who smokes tha ganj seems to flock to this album proclaiming their undying love for Reggae, even though this is the only Reggae album they own and it's probably on CD. Not that I think that these songs are bad, but they're hardly the ones that I'd consider his best. These tracks are the easiest for an American market to swallow, like a sorta friendly, kind hearted Marley, who didn't have utter contempt for the white man and Babylon, those themes are represented on his actual best numbers ... anyway these are his biggest Babylonian hits ... but they hardly represent the Legend that is Bob Marley!
