Greatest Hits, as you know are not my favorite thing to write about. Even the way RS talks about it is ridiculous:
John has put out numerous greatest-hits packages over the years, but none as important as
this single-disc collection released by MCA during the piano man's...
How can a greatest hits be important? What, because his best songs are in one place? I'm not saying they aren't good songs, and it isn't good marketing, I'm just asking how it is in any way artistic? Did John have any input into what songs were selected for the collection? Are they arranged in any particular way? I'm guessing not, and so it doesn't need to be included in list of the best recordings ever. That being said, the songs are great, and a good listen.
