Bands who you only really need to own a Best Of for...
Tergon:
--- Quote from: Gryff ---Well, I could be more specific. If you're into that.
I would say that Nick Cave and REM cannot possibly be done justice in a best of, and I would say that most of your other choices do not deserve one!
Well, that's probably a bit harsh, but why would anyone need a Grinspoon best of? Or the Darkness, for that matter.
Anyway, what it boils down to is that my taste in music is much better than yours.

I'll conceed that the Darkness are a fairly cheap musical joke, but that's precisely the point. Provided that you take them no more seriously than they take themselves, they're entertaining. As for Grinspoon; well, there's no accounting for taste. True, listening to them too much does seem less pleasant than a mind-blowing threesome with hot models, but one or two songs are enjoyable. Provided they were included on the "Best Of" album it would be worth having.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds... having recently purchased a "Best Of" album, I feel qualified to say that this CD meets my Nick Cave needs quite nicely. And a good "Best Of" mix would do justice to REM if it was done properly.
In conclusion, the question of whose musical taste is better falls to a matter of opinion, and cannot be conclusively argued here. I will be satisfied with the easily percievable facts, such as:
1 - My genitals are more favourably proportioned than yours.
2 - I am more intelligent and also more attractive to the opposite sex.
3 - It is highly likely that you fornicate with rubber and/or metallic phalluses on a daily basis.
4 - Neener neener neener.
Thank you for you time.
Gryff:
5. You like Oasis, so all previous points must be discounted.
E. Spaceman:
--- Quote from: Gryff ---Yes, but the Singles has far better sequencing and the most essential tracks. If you want all the obscure tracks then you just need to get Louder Than Bombs to complement the albums.
As a summary of their career, the Singles works better.

Yah, you are right, I'm just bitter Reel Around the Fountain was never a single. That and that they haven't issued a $50 Japan only Best of with Paint a Vulgar Picture as a bonus track.
On Oasis:
Their Best of should go:
1.- Helter Skelter (live)
Gryff:
There really does need to be decent Smiths B-sides compilation. You always end up getting hundreds of double-ups trying to collect them all.

Dear Lord.
Liking Oasis is grounds for discounting logical statements? My good Gryff, many of their songs are classics; such concepts as "Good" and "Bad" do not enter the equation. These songs simply ARE, and their being is enough.
I cannot believe you are going to sit there and honestly tell me that you have no place in your heart for anything by Oasis. That you have never sat around a campfire with friends and a guitar singing Wonderwall. That you have never sat and enjoyed the sounds of Stop Crying Your Heart Out. That you have never sung along with Breakfast At Tiffany's and laughed afterwards at how foolish it sounded, yet still enjoyed the song in a deep dark corner of your heart.
Any individual who could say such things HAS NO SOUL, let alone any business making critical remarks of my own taste in music.
I bid you good day and wash my hands of this.
For shame.
