Greatest Bob Marley Album
- Catch A Fire is one of the greatest albums in rock history, as well as reggae.
- —Guest Donald L
NEVER DOUBT THIS MAN
- To be truth INNA your mind, Bob's Give thanks and praises" is a hit track. I'm giving it to this track
- —Guest STEPHEN ZION
Exodus
- Very mellow, but so danceable, as I watch my phillippino wife move with the rhythm. Oh mama mia!
- —Guest Runningwolf
Live!
- I love that album! Marley sings like he is speaking to you and you only! Plus it feels like you are there. Must-have for Marley fans :) It shows Bob Marley in a side you never seen before.
- —Guest TRK
Babylon by Bus... meh
- Babylon by Bus is a high-quality recording but the Wailers, especially Marley, sound tired on it. I definitely prefer the shorter but more energetic "Live" from 1975 (remastered version).
- —Guest Sean
SURVIVAL
- This is what happens when Bob puts down the joint and picks up the sword. The tone of this album is fierce and intense. By far my favorite.
- —Guest Nob Barley
I hate comparing music!
- I don't have a favorite I love them all! and Legend is a "best of" not an album. I love Catch a Fire and will go with that, but there are so many great tracks and the fact everyone is giving different responses just proves how diverse and brilliant his songs are. He changed the world.

Best Album
- UPRISING is the best, the last during his lifetime, the most revolutionary album ever.
- —Guest Donlamarre
Confrontation
- It is always a difficult choice to choose from Marley's albums because I love them all but Confrontation has an edge and is followed very closely by Uprising. All in all, Bob Marley songs are legendary, just like the man himself.
- —Guest Skakes
African Herbsman
- Earlier albums such as Soul Rebels and soul Revolution and compilations like African Herbsman are the best according to me. The Upsetter/Trojan recordings have something simple and genuine that the later records missed.
- —Guest Robert
Catch a Fire
- It was their first album and they signed for island records and it kicked their career off, so I think 'Catch a Fire' is their best album. They did not look back after that.
- —Guest welshwhizzwhiizz44
Exodus
- Perfect songs and rhythm. Never before have we seen this songwriting and we will never see it again. Bob was and always will be the greatest!
- —Guest BARRY BUCHANAN
Best Marley Album & Love Song
- SURVIVAL - All very mature & great lyrics, "Survival" as a song for me show we will survive all trick as we've done with the slave trade.
- —Guest Martin Mbashila
Uprising
- I love every song on this album. I used to listen to this with a boy I dated at 15 and I remembers such fun and carefree times. Every time I listen, I close my eyes and he never fails to lift my mood with his beat and voice... lyrics... passion...
- —Guest sheska
Rastaman Vibration
- You know this album tells you about life -- how to live -- and how politicans treat us and that people cannot trust each other, because nobody cares about anyone...
