Three albums by Bob Marley and the Wailers have made it onto Rolling Stones’ revised list of ‘500 Greatest Albums of All Time’.

The list, revealed yesterday,

September 23, is an update of the previous one shared eight years ago and

features 154 albums not previously included.

The top spot was taken by Marvin Gaye’s

What’s Going On, which replaces theBeatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts ClubBand.

However, it’s Bob Marley and the

Wailers’ multiple inclusions which caught our eyes. The band, which was formed

in 1963 and featured the famed trio of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer,

were among the list’s most prolific charters with three projects.

Their best-placed album is Legend, ranked at NO. 48, which includesthe hits I Shot The Sheriff, No Woman, No Cry and Redemption Song.

The band’s 1977 release Exodus also made the top 100, ranking atNo. 77 thanks to memorable hits like Jamming,Three Little Birds and One Love, Rolling Stone said.

The third album which the reggae act

placed on the list is Catch a Fire(No. 140) which was released in1973 by Island records. It included songs such as Concrete Jungle, Stir It Upand Slave Driver, which endure to thisday.

Regarding the update, the Rolling Stone said “When we first

published the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in December 2003, Amy Winehouse

was still three years from releasing Back to Black, and Kendrick Lamar’s good

kid, m.A.A.d city, was almost a decade away; many of today’s top musicians (and

fans) weren’t in middle school yet.”

The process took a year to complete and included more than 300 artistes, journalists and industry figures who voted and helped to craft the new list. Stars like Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish were included in the decision-making.

The list has previously been criticised for being too ‘rock-centric’,

‘male-dominated’, ‘American’ and ‘white’.
