10.01.15 | Greatest hits albums albums are gross and only for fair-weather fans.
Yes, this includes Bob Marley's Legend, you Marley fan posers ;)

10.01.15 | The fact that Radiohead has a greatest hits just isn't right |

10.01.15 | 12 is my least favourite album of all time...
ArsM - best ofs serve their purpose sometimes and some are compiled in the right spirit with bonus tracks/rarities included.
Favourites -
Yo La Tengo / prisoners of love
Red House Painters / retrospective
Tindersticks / working for the man
Bowie / nothing has changed |

Stevie Wonder's Musiquarium is a good example of this I guess, but still it's like a cash grab most of the time. |

Do you like straight up hate ABBA? Cause if so whatever more power to you but how? It's just fun pop |

10.01.15 | I could dismiss them as harmless fun if they weren't so ubiquitous |

10.01.15 | That has nothing to do with the music tho
Hating something for being overplayed is one of the worst arguments you can give in music imo |

10.01.15 | STP has a good greatest hits

Queen tbh |
MrSirLordGentleman
10.02.15 | "ABBA is probably the only band where I think their work shines best in a greatest hits format " agree with that, their discog is rather inconsistent but they have many classic songs too, same goes for Bee Gees (on their disco era), you could also say the same about bands like Kiss, AC/DC and the Stones since the three of them have only like 3 cool songs per album
"Queen tbh", totally disagree on that tho |

10.02.15 | 11 is a fantastic collection. I would also add Standing on a Beach by the Cure. |
ScuroFantasma
10.02.15 | Yeah I'm not into comps, I think albums were supposed to be heard as a whole |

10.02.15 | @ scuro, I agree, but I'm too lazy to delve into whole discographies, and often just stick with a greatest hits |
