The words “greatest hits album” make me cringe. Besides the facts that those albums are cobbled together mostly just to make money and include one or two new songs not worth the price of the CD, most artists that put out greatest hits albums have no business anywhere near calling 10 to 12 of their songs “great hits.” Vanilla Ice has a greatest hits album. Lou Bega (of “Mambo No. 5” fame) has a greatest hits album. Creed released a greatest hits album two years after breaking up, five years before reuniting and after putting out all of three CDs. Aaron Carter — yes, Aaron Carter — has not one, but two greatest hits albums. Shaquille O’Neal has a greatest hits album, including those not-so-memorable hits “I’m Outstanding” and “What’s Up Doc? (Can We Rock).” Now I have nothing against these artists; they’re just trying to make a buck. But to get a real feel for a band or singer’s music, you can’t condense it to the songs that got airplay.
