Compilations

   Compilations are un-necessary crap. I only have one compilation in my CD-collection, Santana's "Ultimate Collection", and one day I will replace that as well with the original albums.

	I usually don't bother with compilations I have the original albums... Only if the compilation contains remixed or remastered etc. pieces,then I might consider...

	I Am A Collectionist and Buy It All. Although I don't really buy the albums like "Best Air Guitar" or "Best Heavy Metal"... I will buy ANY CD I find of a band I like... IE: I own three "Greatest Hits" albums of Extreme, all more or less have the same songs, but I collect 'em coz I'm a huge fan of Extreme (And damn proud of it).

	I think some compilations are great!! But there also some REALLY bad ones too, unfortunately! I voted "Yes, I like 'em", though!

	Overall, I don't like 'em, as so many of them are just the greedy record companies trying to exploit an artist's back catalog to make more money, and usually the "bonus tracks" are things that weren't released for a _reason_.

	Compilations suck I like them not I'm not that huge of a completionist to buy compilations even of my favorite band. What's the point if I have it all on the albums? Every album is a whole piece, and compilations don't have the 'album feel'. Plus, the biggest hits are never the best songs.
