I don't understand this. For me, you either go all in with an artist and listen to everything, or don't listen to them. Competent artists are able to make every track worthwhile in some way';

'>>121572549
not many artists are competent enough to maintain a consistent artistic vision';

'>>121572098
It's true that if you only listen to the greatest hits you're not a real fan. That's fine, though. You don't have to be a real fan of everything you listen to.';

'>>121572098
Such a pleb take. Some of the best songs an artists has are usually deep cuts. If the only songs on an album that you enjoy are the 1-2 super popular, mainstream tracks you’re probably a tastelet who can’t form his own opinions on what he’s listening to.';

'>>121572098
if they're releasing agreatest hits album they're probably not that good in the first place';

'>>121572098
listening to 1 or 2 songs of an album is miserable, listen to the whole experience.';

What if they released 3 Vols. of their Greatest Hits?';

'>>121572098
the only reason you're buying an album is as an collector's item. Greatest hits albums are worthless, you can just listen to music online and it will be in better quality and you can actually get all the songs you want';

'>>121573988
yeah those corporate boardrooms really dictated the sound sof those albums i bought on bandcamp';

you bought a greatest hits album on bandcamp?';

Artistic vision is only relevant to the artist. Every artist is true to their vision. If you don't appreciate something, thats a reflection of your taste, not their competence.';

'>>121573547
What if the rest of the album just sucks so much rancid unwiped asshole that you can't take it?';

'>>121573535
Having enough material to warrant issuing a Greatist Hits album is a feat of pure talent in and of itself.';

Very based.


I have paid for exactly one album in my entire life: Discovery from Daft Punk - it was my one and only iTunes purchase back when I got my first iPod in like 2003. Then I discovered I could just download music for free over the internet and put my own descriptions and album art - so I did that instead and never used iTunes again.';

'>>121573758
Then clearly they have had a lengthy and successful career.

Kids today. You dont get it. Owning a physical copy of a record is an act of love for an artist you appreciate.

'>>121574469
is there such cases? I haven't find an album that have 2 of the best songs ever and the rest of the album is trash';

'I have some greatest hits albums for some of the bands that were on the radio a lot when I was growing up, namely The Tragically Hip, Barenaked Ladies and Matthew Good. Besides these I'm generally an album guy but I find those old 90s-00s Canadian radio hits comfy';
