The overused concept of a greatest hits album has always been confusing. Just who is it aimed at? One would believe that surely the biggest fans already own all the tracks on the album and then some, so it can’t be for them, and the recent release of the greatest hits of Craig David and Enrique Iglesias has proved that the genre is no longer a celebration of a lifetime achievement in music, so just what is it for? Hmm, quite a perplexing question. Stereophonics perhaps you can help us out?
The convenient Christmas release date of ‘A Decade in the Sun’
safely secured a million stocking fillers for dads around Britain and a nice, fat, end of year bonus for Kelly Jones and co. If there are still people out there without copies of ‘A Thousand Trees’ and ‘The Bartender and the Thief,’ although I really can’t think who, then who are we to judge what was actually a bloody good band for taking advantage and selling out just a little in these dark times of economic hardship?
