    2 greatest hits albums? Are you taking the piss sir? 4.1

    It was three... Waterboys Queen and Talkingheads and fine albums they are too, especially the Queen (1981) one.
    A score of 4.1 to me means that we could never be friends as I choose my friends according to their taste in music..if someone don't like my taste in music ..they can piss off . Thanks to this thread though I got three download albums this evening,two of which have long since disappeared from the shops and my collection for 11.99 and being so pleased at finding my long lost albums again so cheaply I decided to get some cans to celebrate and listen to the albums again and in the off license I picked up 10 cans of draught Guinness and two free limited edition pint glasses for 10 Euro ,so all in all not a bad day,despite the LOW rating.

    I was expecting at least a 6...

    Also, I got the DJ format title wrong... Join Em...Beat Em.

    Seriously, check out the Shiina Ringo and Kim Jung Mi albums. I know you've never heard them but they are masterpieces. And Rodriguez.
