The album Bob Marley Legend is one of the best albums of all time, especially in
the realm of pop. Bob Marley Legend tells you the story of the world- famous Bob
Marley and the Wailers, by having such classic tracks and all time hits as
Buffalo Soldier, Stir it Up, Get Up Stand Up, Is This Love, just to name a few.
Marley is one of the most phenomenal musicians in history, and almost
single-handedly pioneered the art of reggae music. It is a testament to him
that, despite the fact that he is probably more famous worldwide than all other
reggae artists combined, he is still adored and respected in his native Jamaica
rather than resented for permanently acing the rest of the local
music.
Whenever I am feeling depressed with the way things are, I like to
put on Bob Marley Legend and dream about a better world. I see clearly why it is
like by hippies, frat boys, rastas, and college kids of all kinds. Bob Marley
has managed to capture the virility of life, the spirit of youth and rebellion
which is lacking from this modern life. The Wailers did more than revolutionize
music – Bob Marley and his band with their tuneful groove and deep bass hooks
helped to transform life itself for all of us.
Bob Marley Legend was one
of the first albums I've heard in college, which is a fairly typical story. Many
people started their love affair with a band this way. Something about the
smooth, timeless groove of the Wailers makes it perfect for the dorm parties we
had so often back then. My first girl friend in college was a huge Bob Marley
Legend fan, and used to like to put it on whenever we were together. It is just
the mellowest thing possible, and I can't imagine how I can live without those
breezy melodies.
Although he is admired by fans of all kinds, Bob Marley
Legend was originally radical music meant to bring to the world’s attention the
plight of average Jamaicans under tight clasps of poverty as well as political
disenchantment and disenfranchisement.
Bob Marley himself always
triumphed for noble causes such as independence and the right of ordinary
people, and his radical spirit is still fresh in the songs that he plays.
Wailers songs are not just meant as party music, although of course, they are
lots of fun to party too. They are meant to make the listener feel a thirst for
justice and peace, and sow the seeds of hope for a better world.
