Agreed. You absolutely need to go outside of Legend to truly hear Bob Marley. Understand that this album was a best of Bob Marley aimed at American audiences. This means that a majority of his love songs made it on here. Something like less than 10% of Marley's tunes were love songs. Remember: he was a rebel.

If you want to see his true Reggae form, what he did with jazz, ska, blues, etc. to help create this genre of music, you need to start at his roots, not Legend.
