New songs on greatest hits albums

The Cure’s Never Enough (Mixed Up) and Wrong Number (Greatest Hits) were both very decent. Also quite like Smashing Pumpkin’s Untitled.

Positive there’s at least one comp where I reckon the new track is the best one on it.

U2’s ‘The Sweetest Thing’ was good.

Goldfrapp - The Singles compilation had Yellow Halo and Melancholy Sky as new songs as an enticement. Both actually brilliant songs and hold up with the best of their back catalogue.

i think that was an old B-side that they re-recorded for it

I got the Super Furry Animals new Best of for Xmas. For a band who’s singles I’ve always quite liked but never bothered getting the albums it’s a good option/introduction when a band has such a large back catalogue.

Will come under fire here, but Songbook is genuinely better than any of their albums. Which isn’t to say they don’t have several great albums, they were just also a brilliant singles band.

It’s also worth pointing out that the new song on that collection - Bing Bong - is very good. Particularly impressive given the subject matter.

oops. Didn’t realise they had a new one. Probably also great though.

Yeah they just released it the other week. It’s 2 discs and got all the singles and a bunch of album tracks. I’m really enjoying it after not having known much of their stuff.

In fact here’s the review of it and the Fuzzy Logic reissue.

“Untitled” by The Smashing Pumpkins and “I’m a Soldier” by The Afghan Whigs come to mind as good ones.

Absolutely love You Know You’re Right! Probably one of my favourite Nirvana tracks. The bass line is amazing!
