In Reply to: Greatest Hits Albums posted by Ralphy ™ on November 18, 2003 at 15:35:54:
bands release greatest hits to fulfill contractual obligations for various reasons.
: Another giant wave of greatest hits compilations has the stores, including Counting Crows, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Sheryl Crow, REM, etc.
: Personally, I think that artists or bands that are still very active should wait on greatest hits albums. I think it comes off as an act of desperation to compete with sales declines.
: Especially when they already HAVE a greatest hits album and haven't made many hits since (cough cough Micheal Jacokson cough).
: Thoughts?
