#48 Bob Marley and the Wailers, 'Legend' (1984)

I’m going to completely contradict myself and my opinion throughout the challenge on Greatest Hits collections. ‘Legend,’ released in May 1984 on the third anniversary of Marley’s untimely death at 36-years-old, collects all 10 of Marley’s Top 40 singles, plus three singles from the early Wailers days. This was the first Bob Marley “album” that I ever heard, and for many years it was the only one. The Summer camp that I used to go to was obsessed with playing this record. At least once or twice a day every day for 3 weeks, we’d hear the sounds of these 13 songs. As far as teenager me was concerned, ‘Legend’ was THE Bob Marley record.
