Where a greatest hits album is enough

[rue the polywhirl]

Human League - a band where their greatest hit is enough. Don't You Want Me Baby? Just the ticket, don't really need to hear any more.

Carpenters - Fantastic singles act and generally good album act with lots of decent deep cuts.

ABBA - Gold is just the ticket. Don't need anymore.

The first two brilliant Human League LPs want a word.

excuse me?

Dare! would like a fucking word

Right enough you are.

I couldn't do a Human League greatest hits. I gave one a listen and it had nowhere near enough from the first three brilliant albums & way too much from the later years. I don't mind a couple of the post-Dare! singles, but for me, only those 3 LPs and 'Electric Dreams' are essential.

Human League greatest hits < Dare!

[Egyptian Feast]

Definitely. The only way the greatest hits could contend with Dare! is if they stuck the whole thing on there, but the album would still have the advantage because it doesn't have 'Tell Me When' on it.

Been able to just switch off and listen to music quite a bit in work of late. Had an urge to listen to some HIM, a band I was for some reason fucking obsessed with in the mid-2000s, and in fact, have all their albums, bar the last one, although the couple before that weren't ones I actively bought either.

Anyway, the conclusion I reached is that the 2004 compilation "And Love Said No" has pretty much most of their best songs on it. And "Gone With The Sin" which people like for some reason but I hate.
