Are "Best Of" Albums A Thing Of The Past?
"In an age when we can create our own album in a few rapid mouseclicks - we'll decide what the best of Radiohead is, thanks very much Mr Hands - the contract-filling compilation seems increasingly obsolete. Few will mourn its passing. It has always been the runt of the album litter; they're not 'proper' albums, after all. Just cheap, cynical exercises in making money from old rope."
