"I couldn't agree with the other reviews more. This is a MUST HAVE for any music fan. I played this at a barbecue, and it was a huge hit. Who doesn't appreciate the music of Bob Marley?



The one thing I was worried about at my bbq was the tunes. How would I be able to please a multi-cultural group of people with an age range spanning from 16 - 52? This CD easily solved my problem. Put it on repeat and played it twice.



Don't be afraid of the songs which you aren't familiar with, don't worry, I can almost garauntee you'll like 'em. Whoever chose the songs for this comp. did an EXCELLENT job! I don't care how many Marley CD's you own, when you see the song selection, you just gotta say , "Damn, that's very well put together." If this cd were a woman, it'd be a Beyonce, J. Lo, Jessica Alba, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Janet Jackson hybrid!!!



Only song missing from here is the remix of Turn Your Lights Down Low with Lauryn Hill. The 2 remixes are ok at best, but 2 ok tunes out of 20?!! That's a great percentage. Do yourself a favor, and pick this up.



If you've got a young music lover, give it to them so they can hear, appreciate and learn from real music. I'm not a seller, I just call 'em like I see 'em. My 2 cents."
