Well, it is an important distinction, as a studio album represents many months of labour and craft for a band, to create a whole and unified single piece of art...


Not always, Nick Drake's Pink Moon was put together in two 2-hour sessions and a lot of others are like that. But I get what you're saying, because the production, publicity, and release does take a lot of time and hard work.

Compilations are great for those who aren't familiar with an artist's work, for those who are familiar with an artist's work and only want the hits/best of, and for those fans who want everything an artist releases. If the stuff didn't sell, labels wouldn't issue them.


Very true, I started U2 with their 1980-1990 Greatest Hits album and it got me hooked and I got lots of their early albums after that. I think that Complitation albums are very important to an artist's career, it's a way for a very moderate fan to get all the hits and enjoy the artist that way.

But, I do enjoy the artist through various albums to get the whole message and feel of the album.
