What does Sup Forums have against greatest hits compliations?

Because a lot of them are rockists

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Kind of outdated now though when you can build your own mixes pretty easily

See
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.

Simon and Garfunkel is one.

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

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

Abba is great though.

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

>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,

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

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

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

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

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

Are you genuinely autistic?

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.

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

ya but being gay sucks dick
