Whoa now. Whoa. Whoa. Leann Stinkin' Rimes has put out a Greatest Hits album? GREATEST HITS? She hasn't had a great SONG! Yes, she's had some teen hits on the pop charts, but that's no reason for a greatest hits album! These things are getting out of control*!

The Red Hot Chili Peppers have recently released their Greatest Hits album. That is what a greatest hits cd is supposed to be. Over a decade of music that never gets old. Hits from recent times and when I was growing up. Not five songs that were popular for a month in the last 2 or 3 years with a couple ok ones thrown in. These two words are getting used way too loosly these days.

*I like how the Backstreet Boys called this Vol. 1. So... they're counting on another run in the boy band world? Or are they going to go to rap like New Kids on the Block? Or maybe a rock band! Man, I can't take this drama.
