I like classic rock. My wife had recently bought me a few greatest hits CDs for a gift and I had bought some off Amazon myself. I like greatest hits CDs so we can listen to one great song after another on longer car rides. But it's clear that whoever is producing and selling all of these greatest hits CDs is flat out being deceptive. Let me explain.
So I pick out the 3rd CD of a Queen greatest hits set and pop it in yesterday. This is Queen, they have so many awesome songs. There is no way they can screw up a Queen Greatest Hits, right? Well, first of all, why are there 3 CDs? I didn't want 50 to 60 songs that Queen has done. I wanted their greatest hits one after another, not one after 2 or 3 songs I never heard of before. The most deceptive part is when you get to the real iconic songs. On this CD what stood out to me was Under Pressure which they apparently remixed as club music and the real tragedy was Another One Bites The Dust which was taken over by some rapper.
I'm sorry but Queen's Greatest Hits implies their greatest hits, not all the songs they did, overpriced, and with dance club and rap music destroying their best songs. I know this about money. I know they want to sell you an overpriced 3 CD set. But they also apparently want you to still buy every Queen album to get the real songs instead of this BS remixed crap. If I wanted some rapper that doesn't do intelligible English talking inappropriate jibberish over an iconic song, I would appreciate it advertised this way.
OK, lawyers. I can't stand you, but please make these idiots pay for the deception. It's not just Queen. They've done it with most of the greatest hits CDs I've bought now. Greatest hits used to mean greatest hits. I don't even want the garbage they sent me now.
