I don't know there's usually some great shit there.

Name 5 groups that aren't Queen whose best cuts can be compiled on a Best of compilation

They make sense for some old bands and singers and whatnot who were singles-focused or as intros to a group
Kind of outdated now though when you can build your own mixes pretty easily

Also: Are we only talking one disc compilations or can multi disc ones count?
Cause if Multi disc counts then definitely David Bowie and Billy Joel can go up there.

>>70090505
Simon and Garfunkel is one.

>>70090348
this was my mothers favorite album when i was growing up
abba turned me gay
thats what i have against greatest hits

>>70090348
I got this exact version when I was 12. They were my favourite band back then.

Because they're basically a physical version of shuffling a playlist, and only made sense when record players and casettes were used for casual background listening

>>70090778
Abba is great though.

>>70090505
You can do an intro to Rush in a two disk album but you can't fit all their best music on that

>>70090505

>Blondie
>REM
>RHCP
>Tom Petty
>Billy Joel
>Simon & Garfunkel

Chuck Berry
The Ramones

It takes the songs out of the context of the album. They're okay, but you need the original albums really. The album itself is part of the art not just the songs.

>Chuck Berry

Obviously any artist from pre-1965 full album days doesn't count

>The Ramones

No.

Ummm, I'll rather have ABBA's greatest hits collected in one place than having to endure 5 full albums to listen to all of them, thanks.

Sometimes songs are meant to be experienced together (e.g. the Abbey Road medley).

>uhh, no that doesn't count because i said so!

They're all pretty good though

Albums literally didn't exist you fucking autist. It's not an argument in favor of a compilation if it's literally the only way to consume the music,

>>70091478
>if it's literally the only way to consume the music,
Yes, because singles don't exist or anything.

>>70091517

Some of Chuck Berry's singles are 60+ years old at this point...

>>70090505
Oasis, Blur, Suede and most britpop bands
Depeche Mode
CCR
U2

>>70090505
Kenny Loggins
Hall & Oates
Elton John
Blink 182
Rage Against the Machine

>>70091580
And? They exist. Compilations aren't the only way to hear Chuck Berry.

>>70091715

Are you genuinely autistic?

>>70090505
The Hollies don't have a single decent album, but their best of compilation is one of the greatest things I've ever listened to.

>>70091755

Which comp would you recommend. I'm a huge fan of some singles but I couldn't find a decent album

>>70091056
ya but being gay sucks dick
