I love Greatest Hits/Best Ofs for the debate they can create amongst exiting fans and the way they can attract new fans (My U2 fandom is based on the 80/90 Best Of compilations, and I also discovered Smiths through such compilations too.
What R-Hed should've done, if they had any brains and genuninely cared about the content of the BEST OF, is what Noel did with Oasis' GH package, which Oasis were similarly forced to release due to change of record label. Noel has stated, wither the record company would select the songs, or the band (him) could select the songs. He'd much rather him choose the tracklisting than a bunch of fat business people who know fuck all about the band. Greenwood and Co should've done similar.
That Oasis GH was bollocks anyway. What was Noel thinking!
And this R-Hed GH looks immensely average as well.....too much stuff from Bends.
