Today on cnn.com there is a "Top 50" list of the best "greatest hits" albums of all time. "Singles 1969-1981" earns an "honorable mention" at the end of the article.
Even though I would have put it in the Top 10, Richard & Karen are not in poor company. The Eagles' first volume of greatest hits (which is the biggest selling album in history) is also only an "honorable mention."
Elton John's first "Greatest Hits" album only came in at #33!
It's a very interesting list and the authors do clarify upfront that it's only based upon their opinions and nothing else. Which is good considering a few albums on the list were from bands that didn't really have any legitimate "hits" (from a chart perspective anyway) let alone a whole albums worth!!
Anyhow, it was good to at least see the Carpenters mentioned!
Happy Holidays everyone!
