An album that you’ve bought at least three times:
"Legend - The Best Of Bob Marley And The Wailers"
"Legend - The Best Of Bob Marley And The Wailers"
I am usually not a fan of "greatest hits" collections but if this isn't the quintessential Reggae album, I don't know what is. Everyone loves this CD. That's probably why I keep having to replace it; I have a feeling it has been "liberated" from me at least twice. And that's understandable -- it is full of great songs that resonate with listeners to this day. To quote Rolling Stone:
"The first major rock artist to come out of a Third World country, Bob Marley did more than anyone else to popularize reggae around the globe. He was a gifted songwriter who could mix protest music and pop, and his songs of determination, rebellion, and faith became important parts of the rock and pop canon. Thirty years after Marley's death, hits like "No Woman No Cry" and "Is This Love" sound as vibrant as ever."
What album have you, or would you, buy over and over again?

That is one I have purchased a few times as well. Such an amazing collection.
I think that I bought They Might Be Giants album Flood a couple of times. An album I still can listen to all the way through without skipping a song. I used to have the cassette in my old Mustang. It was in the player for two years straight. :)
Yes, "Flood" is a another classic.
One of favorite all time songs is Could You Be Loved. I can listen to it over and over. I Shot The Sheriff is also a good one - it reminds me of being a kid.
I think I've bought Depech Mode - Violator a couple of times.
