I usually despise just about everything about "Greatest Hits" albums: they always seemed to be released in the record companies financial interest instead of being released in the artists creative interest, they always seem to chose the artists most popular songs instead of their best songs, they don't have the cohesive flow that a normal studio album would have, and they just seem to be lacking the normal energy, excitement and cultural importance that a timely studio album would have. The rushed, sloppy, and selfish nature of "Greatest Hits" albums make for a halfhearted, uninteresting, and uninspiring listening experience.
