in the last few years, there has been a plethora of "best of" albums by high profile artists and legends. and so many of them on TV. why are we suddenly expressing our nostalgia in this way?


Prince
Madonna
Bowie
Beatles
Wings
Stones
Elvis
Pink Floyd
Fleetwood Mac
Abba


who else?

Aerosmith? Or am I wrong?

WRONG FORUM!!!

SkletonKee said:

how so?

it's got Prince and it's got others. where do you think it belongs?

AaronForever said:

music-others... or the prince.org discussion section..or better yet, the associated artist forum...or possibly the npgmc forum...some might say it belongs in the prince-music section...and then others would say it belongs in the celebration forum...


BUT NOT THE GENERAL DISCUSSION FORUM :EVIL:


Topics that don't fit into one of the other forums, such as current affairs, politics, sports, romance, etc.




nahhh..baby, you can but your thang anywhere ya want to...:O

SkletonKee said:

it's a general topic. it's not a discussion about music per se, but the trend in putting out greatest hits albums.





current affairs smarty

There seem to be several greatest hits by other more recent legends as well-

The Cure
U2
Blondie
Bjork
Tricky
Juliana Hatfield
Outkast

all within the past year

Busta Rhymes had one as well.

Lenny Kravitz - Greatest hits

Backstreet Boys - Greatest hits chapter 1 (I know this cause
my little sister owns it)

The Backstreet Boys are hardly legends, though.

Moonbeam said:

AaronForever said:

That's right, sez me! I hate them more than Creed, and that says a lot!

Moonbeam said:

you don't like the Beatles either, but you do love Kylie more than life itself so...

AaronForever said:

Because the Beatles majorly suck! Face facts!

Moonbeam said:

In the words of gooey... "Editing is fun!"

AaronForever said:

In Ians world the Beatles suck in everyone elses they don't

Riot Act ~ Pearl Jam (November 11)


I can not wait for this one...w00t it is about time Eddie

MostBeautifulGrlNTheWorld said:

Not Scott's! He hates them just as much as I do!

The very best of Rod Stewart- 2001

Moonbeam said:

Ok I correct myself on my previous statement...it should of read as follows "in Ian and Scotts world the beatles suck, in everyone elses they do not."

MostBeautifulGrlNTheWorld said:

And that is what makes me hate them even more. How is that crap so universally lauded as the best?

Moonbeam said:

Because I said it was to be universally lauded and what I
say goes cause I am the bitch that is...heheehehe

Moonbeam said:

If it's universally lauded, maybe it's a problem you're having

AaronForever said:

No, Dave Matthews is universally lauded too, for the most part, and you and I both know how bad they are...

Moonbeam said:

i dunno about that. i don't see much enthusiasm for him outside of college campuses.

AaronForever said:

Because you like them, I won't say anything more about the Beatles.

One of the problems with "best of" is that, at leat in my country, the vast majority of the lazy radio programmer always play the same hits, even when it's one of you're favourite band it's soon boring, it can makes you hate a song that you used to love
