Destinys Child (outwith The Writings on the Wall)

Oh Yes! How could I forget! I’ve never liked a Destiny’s Child album but their greatest hits is immaculate.

Richard Marx. His two "main" studio albums went to the great charity shop in the sky but I really like, and have still got, his 1997 Greatest Hits.

 

[Daniel_O]

Spice Girls
Adele
Ariana Grande
Justin Timberlake

Three of them haven't released Greatest Hits though?

 

[Daniel_O]

Haha, I was thinking about their future greatest hits albums (or current Best Of Playlists).

 

[IfUSeekAmy]

I'm still waiting for the long overdue Rihanna Greatest Hits!

With streaming and playlists taking over I doubt this is ever happening honestly ddd. But if anyone is deserving of one, it's her.

Whitney Houston is the perfect example of this for me - voice from the Lord, incredible singles, and mostly forgettable album tracks.

Oh, I think My Love is Your Love and I Look to You are great albums.

 

[torontodj]

Oh, I think My Love is Your Love and I Look to You are great albums.

And I love the debut.

 

[WhatKindOfKylie?]

Dare I say it, but this was a better listen than her early studio albums which all had their fare share of filler:

 

[Holly Something]

Spice Girls

Forever yes, the first 2 are untouchable.

 

[Daniel_O]

Forever yes, the first 2 are untouchable.

I’m not a big fan of most of their non-singles songs, except for a few really good ones like Something Kinda Funny which I love.

Travis are the ultimate example of a Greatest Hits act for me, even though their actual singles collection wasn’t perfect (they should have waited a bit longer, I think). I love a lot of their singles, but a whole studio album? Meh.

 

[DiscoIgor07]

Alison Moyet

I’d also like to say that the Backstreet Boys’ first Greatest Hits collection (European Edition) is all killer, no filler. Their albums? Patchy.

 

[Vasilios]

Whitney's first two albums are no filler classics. Let's not!

 

[AshtrayHeart]

I was gonna mention her as well but the tracklist is just bad.

Where are “Most Girls” (and “You Make Me Sick” in the US edition), “God Is A DJ”, and “Feel Good Time”?!? I’d take those tracks over “Dear Mr. President” and “Leave Me Alone (I'm Lonely)".

When it came out I remember looking at the track list and thinking it was too heavy with tracks from I’m Not Dead and Funhouse, whereas Try This was severely unrepresented, and obviously leaving off Most Girls was a choice indeed.

Whitney's first two albums are no filler classics. Let's not!

Whitney has I know him so hell and WH has far too many dreary duets. The highs are so high that you kind of feel like everything is that standard in hindsight.
