Greatest Hits:

Cylob · 14th November 2003, 11:29

Are any 'Best Of' albums worth getting??? I suppose if you don't want the whole discography they serve a purpose, but I always considered them a con. I bought Rush's Chronicles in 1990, despite already owning every track on it. Nothing new at all. Slick marketing made me part with 13 squid.

So, one con (I rather like):

NJK · 14th November 2003, 11:32

or this on

Raz · 14th November 2003, 11:40

The complete Stone Roses

James, The best of

nybergh · 14th November 2003, 12:48

Since I don't like the stones enough to buy their whole production this is a quite good collection.

Cylob · 14th November 2003, 12:55

I feel the same way about this:

Eurythmics were great as a team, but both Lennox & Stewart are shite solo artists. Terrible stuff.

orac · 14th November 2003, 13:37

how can you say that?

agree with the best of James choice... better then owning a complete album..

and more abba gold (with the white cover)

That is too freaky... I'm listening to that right now!

I'm not a fan of greatest hits packages. I can understand compilations of styles, labels etc....I always associate greatest hits packages as music for people who don't like music.

I feel the same way marvin, which is why I don't own many. They are handy if you just want the hits though.

We both have good taste. I bet I have 50% of your collection.

Cylob · 14th November 2003, 15:06

This is one 'best of' I covet. Anything that ends with 'World in Motion' is class.

apola_anamisha · 15th November 2003, 09:54

These are classics.............my earnest request to all anti-boy bands here.........atleast try them..........the very best of boybands!

Who knows may be you can change........

[B]

not true apola- already told you about the addiction my daughter had when she was 12 - told you also that i didn't like the music they make.

but i've heard about them and i've heared their music so it's an personal opinion if I say I don't like their kind of music.

Cylob · 15th November 2003, 15:36

Boy bands are for girls apola. It's as simple as that!!! They don't exactly appeal to the average beer-guzzling 20/30 something male.

NJK · 15th November 2003, 15:42

true words only bad taste in beer..

/me forgot you are a brit - i'll just have a grolsch or heineken

Cylob · 15th November 2003, 16:05

I'm partial to a bit of Grolsch. Nice stuff man.

A one-stop-shop:

I'm not big on the ass-slapping baboon, but a collection ain't finale without some of his hits.
