EWolfe Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Let's face it. The music clubs get their bread and butter from these. And a lot of them suck There also seems to be a recent resurgence of "greatest hits" collections... So, what are the good ones? ...and of course, the worst...

Fairweather Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Lenny Kravitz. Can't think of any others. I usually like to listen to an album/cd in it's original entirety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klenke Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Barbra Streisand What I hate is re-packaged albums and re-packaged greatest hits where they put one or two "unreleased" or new songs on them or live versions that aint worth purchasing the newer version for. It used to be the "in" thing with record companies but you see less of it now. There weren't typically fooling me. I wasn't going to spend $18 more for two new tracks.

tread_tramp Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Bob Dylan - all 43 of them I like volume II of his greatest hits collections. The bootleg series is a good collection too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willstrickland Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 "Big Boi and Dre Present: Outkast"...that's a damn fine hits compilation and happens to be bumpin cross my steeereo right now. CCR "Chronicle" was the first of their hits compilations, but I do believe that Run Through the Jungle made Chronicle II. I have the first one buried somewhere in the 400 discs, haven't heard it in many years. Kinda need a hot southeastern summer day on the lake, Budweiser in a can, and a fat joint of mexican brick weed to make the CCR work right.

iain Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Steely Dan - Gold. Some people love to hate these guys, probably because they've only heard the bad radio hits. For some reason I like them and this album has none of the lame radio stuff and plenty of the good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Greatest hits compilations are generally lame, unless they offer something not available on a band's other albums. Why listen to a bunch of songs from a band if their albums aren't good enough to stand on their own? Exceptions would be discographies, especially bands that have broken up and whose releases are hard to find or contain a lot of singles (Minor Threat, OpIvy, and The Smiths come to mind). Bottom line, if you buy greatest hits-type albums, you're a wanker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ireneo_Funes Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 The first record I ever bought was Kenny Rogers' Greatest Hits. I was nine, and didn't know any better. I agree with DFA that greatest hits albums are lame for the most part. When a band I like puts out a greatest hits album it's a sad time for me, 'cause I know the good times are over. That said, I still listen to my Misfits greatest hits CD, so I guess I'm a wanker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
