How many best of CDs can one band release? U2 must be catching up with Bryan Adams by now

some bands could put together all the "new songs" they include on their annual best of releases and it would be enough for an entire cd. Its sad when some bands actually have more best of albums out than actual albums.

although not a huge fan of U2, i don't think that they have too many gr. hits...the first 2 are different eras, and this one will have the best of both eras...

I'm sure you won't say that when the Hip have three or 4 different greatest hits, with mostley the same songs on it. It there were two new songs, 90% of the people on this site would be running out to buy it.

Madonna?! Madonna's a whore?! Uhmm...
And yeah, the man himself indicated Yer Favourites wasn't the band's idea. Three cheers for a band that's always believed in making albums, not just singles and filler.

Well, I don't think Gord was that apposed to it, he just thinks the timing is wrong. He thought of a G.Hits as a "looking back" compilation, and he thought it was too soon for that. But amen to the making albums that are "all killer, no filler".
I swear, I'm not a 41 fan.

I guess it is only their second greatest hits CD, but there's really not much time between them, and 2 weaker CDs worth of music to add(besides their Green Day football collaboration!)
