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 hymn like '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 twelve inch vinyl.
