I think greatest hits albums are sellouts, all of them. I didn't critize
the Stones and garth brooks and so on because this is a U2 list. I don't
like the idea I probably never will...The bsides thing was nice toucch but
I'd still rather have live music and since they know how much their fans
love thier live stuff why do they make us hunt for the quality bootlegs
why noe put out a cd of thier own from thier best show...If I had that I
wouldn't bother with low quality bootlegs considering the setlist never
changes anyway...Andy
