How many singles or albums do you think an artist should release before doing a “Greatest Hits”?
July 15th, 2009Not that I think there should be laws governing this, but I think it’s ridiculous when you see an artist who’s been around for 20 seconds release a “greatest” anything. I guess it happens, though, because there is someone, somewhere who will buy it.
What do you think?
rukrym - *giggle* Good point. A greatest for a band that’s still together does kind of say “that’s all we’ve got - check back later”.
lovnrckets - I′m going to testify in front of Congress, just like Stone and Jeff did, with your parameters. I wonder if we can get it on the books? 
jmike - I completely agree. It’s all about $$$ for the labels.
And you’re right - some bands having 10 greatest hits albums, all with the same stuff, IS sad.
Deke - that’s another good point.
Senator Prof - I know what you mean. I saw an example of this last week and for the life of me I can’t remember who it was because I′ve seen it THAT many times.
Your assistance in passing this legislation is appreciated! sylvia - I′m still giggling at Paula Abdul.
And thanks for your support!
