pozbaird Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Was discussing the new Paul Weller album ‘66’ with someone, and commented that Weller has been involved in ‘greatest hits’ albums under three guises - The Jam, The Style Council, and solo. Paul McCartney is another - The Beatles, Wings, solo artist. Struggling to think of any others, without Googling. George Harrison? No idea if the Travelling Wilburys had a ‘greatest hits’ type album out or not. Can think of a ton of ‘2’s though. Missing anyone obvious? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig fae the Vale Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 (edited) Dave Grohl has Foo Fighters, Nirvana and Scream (although I don't think Scream ever released a Greatest Hits album per se) plus all his one off album projects like Late!, Them Crooked Vultures and Probot.

I had absolutely no idea Midge Ure had been in Thin Lizzy. Learn something every day right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't in for very long. He replaced Gary Moore who left during a US tour. He played on a song that was on one of their greatest hits albums though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
