it's Good&Bad.Good because alot of Acts really are better suited for a Best Of IMHO.Bad because you hear the same 2-3 songs all the time on the radio year in&year out by that Act&also the Record Companys pull a Motown on you&release 99 different Greatest Hits packages&migth drop a song or two.but I think it's a reminder of some happening Acts that made Music that once Merited a Greatest Hits or Best of Package.nowadays it's down right Comical at some of the ones that get one.
