Is anyone getting Annoyed about the tracklists of ABSOLUTE GREATEST?????

Let's not forget a detail: Neil Young and Pearl Jam are still releasing top-notch NEW MATERIAL. Neil Young has been there for 40 years. "Prairie Wind" and "Harvest Moon", both released in the 90's while Brian and Roger were all but absent, are placed among Young's "average" albums!

And Ben Harper covers Under Pressure and no one in the Queen world even cares. Ok, it's a favorite of mine, therefore my bias, but wow...I thought the guys would go out of their minds seeing one of their songs reaching such a different audience through such a talented artist. 

I'm so outraged, to the point of wanting to become a terrorist and start smuggling weapons on the borders between countries, through the tunnels and all. 

This is my protest: Indifference! :- )

I liked Ben Harper's cover of Under Pressure. Heartfelt vocals but what really did it for me was the backing band. They did rock.

 



Well, the fact that Under Pressure is my favorite Queen song also helped, hehe :)



Regarding "Absolute Greatest", well, another somewhat good-justifiable idea that will go down with poor execution.



If there is a second CD with B-sides, Demos, Outtakes or any previously unavailable material, I will eat my words.



How hard is that? Ok, Give them the hits once again but include a CD with 10-12 "rarities" so that the hardcore fans buy it as well. This way you can use it also as a teaser for the box sets or future live releases. It's not rocket science.
