G is for Get ready for the GREATEST week!
Greatest - Duran Duran
This is such a good reminder of just how great Duran Duran were. That chorus in Rio is sooo fantastic. And boy howdy do these songs have such groovy basslines. I admit, as a child it was confusing that there were so many guys in this band with the surname Taylor and they were not related and one of them was even Roger but not in Queen.
Highlights: Ordinary World, New Moon on Monday, Notorious, Planet Earth
8/10
Greatest Hats - Men Without Hats
This is purely Safety Dance. It feels not so safe, especially if you have Bone-itus.
8/10
Greatest Hits - Village People
Trump may have kind of ruined Y.M.C.A., but these guys will never stop being enjoyable. Ray Simpson will forever be the better singer, though. Singing stuff like "Don't go in the bushes" always makes me laugh. And this dude wants us to stop saying there is absolutely zero gay subtext going on here? Ray Simpson would never. I should watch Can't Stop the Music again.
Highlights: Y.M.C.A., Go West, Macho Man, Do You Wanna Spend the Night
8/10
Greatest Hits - Sublime
These guys never really did anything for me. I do not really dig reggae at the best of times, and this is full on stoner reggae with added cheesy early 00s whiteboy rapping and record scratches. Like Sugar Ray on weed. Also, every pub band I grew up around plays half of these songs.
Highlights: What I Got, Santeria
6/10
Greatest Hits - The Cure
I should probably do a clean up of this, because there are really only a handful of songs that are not available on other albums. But I'll damned if this is not just a fun collection of The Cure singles. Like, this is pretty much The Cure at their most fun all the way.
Highlights: Mint Car, Wrong Number, In Between Days, Close to Me, Just Like Heaven
