[BurtReynolds]

Toto.

but what incredible hits they were.

[McParadigm]

What is even the point of a greatest hits package in a time when you can buy any combination of individual tracks you might possibly want?

Oh, I mean, The Turtles.

[McParadigm]

The Association.
Billy Idol.
Billy Joel.
Journey.

Its a good way to get the gist of a band I guess. Better than picking out random tracks anyway.

The 80s is kind of a wasteland of bands working hard on singles and then surrounding them with filler to complete an album.

[LoathedVermin72]

Tears for Fears

But they had a lot of hits, and all of them are awesome.

Rolling Stones

Oh man, you got that one right. And even then there are a lot of meh tracks.

Possibly, but then that led to the mentality you're quoting.

Rolling Stones

You honestly don't like songs like Shine a Light, Moonlight Mile, Stray Cat Blues, Monkey Man, Dead Flowers, Rocks Off, Soul Survivor, Sway, Salt of the Earth, etc.?

Dead Flowers is one of my fav Stones songs. One of the first songs I learned on the geetar.

I like Moonlight Mile. I have no knowledge of those others as far as I know.

And yes, I'm aware that I'm not Kevin Davis. No matte how badly I wish I were.

[Jorge]

I goddamn love "Moonlight Mile". It's one of maybe three or four Stones songs that I love with all my heart.

It's one of maybe 8 Stones songs that I listen to with any kind of regularity.

Back to Soundgarden.....

When I saw them last year in KC they did not play Black Hole Sun or Outshined (arguably their two biggest songs) and it was still an amazing show. I was excited as fuck they played Kickstand.

Dexys Midnight Runners

[Birds in Hell]

Very much agreed, re: Rolling Stones.

David Bowie.

Dexys Midnight Runners

I'm not sure if you're being facetious, but their first album is amazing.

[Wendy Carlos's Twin]

I agree that The Rolling Stones were mostly a singles band, except from 1968-1972 and from 1978-1981 when every song they made was brilliant. If you can't into something from those periods, then there is something wrong with you.

[Birds in Hell]

You know, the Stones are playing here next week for the first time since the mid 90s.

I've half-heartedly thought about trying to get a ticket, it's not as though they're going to play here again, but I probably won't.
