Prince, REM and The Waterboys have all made some superb albums. I'd say REM, in particular, were an album band and you're missing out on a hell ofa lot by listening to singles/best of only. I'd agree with most of the rest, aside from Sting as he's crap whether you listen to singles or alvums.

Listened to all three above albums over the years and canny, just not really fussed now.
Love the Waterboys greatest album though superb

UFO

Fuck Off

 

[dangermows]

Bizarre how people 'can't be arsed' to listen to music

 

[Snugster]

Saw UFO back in the day and an EP may suffice.

Fuck Off, come back and fuck off again.

Music is so subjective.

Exactly. Doctor doctor Rock Bottom. Sorted.

Obviously I strongly disagree.
Lights Out, Obsession and Force It are essential listening (IMO).

 

[JL1985]

Any bands you wouldn't buy an album from but have a class Greatest hits ?
I'll start
Chicane

I have that one, it’s very good.

I was a dan. 40 odd years ago when I was a youth.

 

[CollingwoodFTM]

Squeeze

I was going to say a Bryan Adams, but then realised that Reckless is better than the Greatest Hits.

 

[Cockney Mackem]

Fuck Off

No, YOU fuck off

(See what I did there)

 

[SteveB]

Only band that I've got the greatest hits but then never bothered with the other albums is squeeze.
No idea why. The best of is just about the best of best ofs.

REM's first eight albums are just f***ing awesome.


The Damned
Pulp

Anyone said Barry Manilow yet?

Room to Roam is an absolute classic, closely followed by Fishermans Blues.
I didn't know they had a greatest Hits.

 

[Skandhaless]

Bob Seger

 

[joemcdokes]

I'd imagine the Joy Division would've struggled to fill a greatest hits album even if things had not gone the way they did.
Apart from a few, both albums are absolute tripe.

James
