Based af

Greatest hits is fine if an artist has entirely mediocre albums but some fine songs.

Beatles and Byrds are good examples of this.

It's okay, user. We know you're not like other girls. You're so special.

>Listening to exclusively one song by a band and refusing to hear any other song in fear of damaging the mental picture that this song has painted you of the people who wrote it

I did this found some stuff I would of never paid no mind too

>Beatles and Byrds
literally every song the Beatles made is great, change my mind

Eagles greatest hits is one of the top selling albums of all time

is it just me or does most eagles songs sound the same

I can't, Beatles fans tend to be hella dedicated, but when I listen to Revolver for example I only want to hear Taxman, Eleanor Rigby, I'm only sleeping and that tripped out sitar-psych track

The other tracks I find dull, same thing with Pepper or Abbey road or any other albums. A few undeniable bangers, and what to me sounds like a bunch of filler.

Should I never ever listen to Beatles if this is how I feel about their albums? Seems ridiculous. Of course a best-of is the way to go for me.

of course not all of them are masterpieces (especially not the early stuff, that was garbage) but to each their own ig

They're a useful way of discovering a new artist, especially if the artist has loads of albums and you're not quite sure where to begni.

Greatest hits compilations are for housewives and little girls

>not creating perfectly crafted compilation albums from your extensive knowledge of an artists discography
lmaoing @ ur life dude

spoken like a true Doors fan

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band [Capitol, 1967]
Eight or nine good songs--a little too precisely performed for my taste but hey I ain't gonna complain. A

Speak of the devil, but why does this asslick love GH collections so much?

That doesnt mean shit, most lps have bullshit filler songs wich must be avoided after a couple plays. What are you, a fucking fanboy?

Most pop artists' albums are full of generic, uninteresting filler between the hit singles. Especially artists from the 50s-60s. Nothing wrong with greatest hits albums in those cases.

>updated version of the album comes out with added songs that didn't make the final cut

Every album will have at least one dud song on it. Though in some cases a song makes more sense if listened to as part of an album than it does by itself.

>69 songs
Hell yeah bro

>never heard of a singles band
>is not interested in Greatest Hits that were curated by the band themselves to uncover how they understood their own work
>not interested in Greatest Hits formed by a community of fans acting as popular judge and supporters of an artist's success.

I agree in avoiding the record stooge career spanning one-stop shop. And you should always dig below a greatest hits, but some bands best material is their greatest hits.

why do the normalfags do this
