: Another giant wave of greatest hits compilations has the stores, including Counting Crows, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Sheryl Crow, REM, etc.

: Personally, I think that artists or bands that are still very active should wait on greatest hits albums. I think it comes off as an act of desperation to compete with sales declines.

: Especially when they already HAVE a greatest hits album and haven't made many hits since (cough cough Micheal Jacokson cough).

: Thoughts?

Are released when a band is contractually obligated to release material but are too lazy to record new material or have a beef with the record company and don't want to release any new material with that label.

It's all about money.
