We both spelled it wrong. That's hilarious.

Speaking of songs that are just the essential ones, greatest hit albums has a great deal to be talked about. Like when you go and try a new band through their greatest hits, you often cannot find a song that you might have liked more than those that are the most popular. Iron Maiden has a song I don't believe that you can find on a compilation: Flash of the Blade - my favorite track by them!
So, in closing, you cannot fathom just how much good stuff will be missing if you only buy particular tracks... Thank you for reading  |
I've never liked buying greatest hits albums. For me, most of the time it would be a waste of money because 90% of the time, if I'm interested in a band enough to feel like buying a greatest hits, I usually just skip that and listen to the key albums.
If I'm not that interested in a band, I'll buy a couple of songs and be done with it.
Oh and just so we are clear, more than 90% of the time I buy full albums. Recently, there's so much music I want to listen to I tend to buy digital just because it's easier/faster, but I like the CD for the quality, even if I don't directly care about the quality of my music. I learned that listening to the full album yields you finding songs that you would have never found if you had just bought a greatest hits album. I learned that with bands like Daft Punk that have a lot of different songs on their albums and I know a lot of songs that most Daft Punk listeners have no clue about. Also, there's some "greatest hits" songs by Daft Punk that I think are absolute crap, yet songs that are no where near as popular that I love and adore and I attribute that to listening to the full albums. /end ridiculously long tangent.
