I was thinking about underworld greatest hits and I think its a pretty good album... but then for example orbital´s greatest hits (the work) its preatty weak I would say. what do you think of greatest hits albums? do you usually buy them? are there any particularly great? dont know any idm artist who has already a greatest hits album |

idm artists don't have hits except for aphex, and he only has about three or four. |

i doubt an idm artist would bring out a greatest hits...it just doesn't suite them...mostly big record companis bring out greatest hits for money greatest hits are nice though, its good having an artists best tracks on one album, instead of having to change the cds...then again...i always create my own best ofs with my mp3s |

I try to avoid buying greatest hits albums. I only really do it when I kind of like something, peripherally. if I think I don't want to spend time to go through someones discog but I do want some of their stuff in my "music collection", I'll buy a greatest hits. |

I've never disliked them... I have quite a few best-ofs and greatest-hits for older rock... The Very Best of Cream compiles most of what I want to hear from them in one shiny package, so it works. I have all their albums, but I still put in Very Best Of the most. As for electronic music, then no, I just listen to them straight through, generally. There might be a reason, but I'm too lazy to define it. For rock, I really don't give a shit about albums as ALBUMS, per se... I like collections of songs, strong songs that can fend for themselves away from the pack... and collections of songs are much better when the weak links are phased out. |

greatest hits compilations do the artists involved a disservice. ESPECIALLY the smashing pumpkins piece of shit they released. every song on their albums (pre-adore, anyways), was perfect. and now they're all forgotten about because all the normal punter will buy will be the rotten apples greatest hits |

usually when im trying to check out an artist i go for the best of quite often..sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. i've got quite a few best of's.. |

if anyone else posted that i would be sure they're joking. i belive you tho, and are there any good songs on it? :) |

i don't like greatest hits shit at all... it's just the record label cashing in by repackaging all the songs that you've heard the most. i can see why someone who likes commercial music would want a greatest hits album... because traditionally, commercial albums are 1-3 songs that they know will sell and the rest is complete filler. it's a good deal if you like that sort of thing... |

The only greatest Hits I've got is by The Pixies. And I'm thinking "why the hell did I buy it, instead of all the records"? |

I like most of the stuff to be honest. I'm a sucker for the poptastic ;) |

greatest hits cd's are for people that hear songs on the radio and don't want to deal with the rest of the album. |

This is a good thing. |

I usually don't |

I prefer proper albums with songs that compliment eachother in a progression, not a collection of songs that have been isolated. |

underworld greatest hits is an excellent work apart form that I dislike greatest hits compilations |
