Our Greatest Greatest Hits | blink-182, Engelbert Humperdinck, Patsy Cline
Episode description
On this special episode of Vinyl Verdict, Bell, Jamie and Adam dive into the topic of greatest hits, best ofs and other compilations! Bell brings blink-182's "Greatest Hits", their first such compilation, released in 2005. A fun, often goofy release from the masters of pop-punk, it came out two years after their fifth album. Adam's pick, Engelbert Humperdinck's "20 Great Hits", released in 1977, raises two questions. Firstly, what constitutes a "great hit"? Second, what is a "middle of the road balladeer"? The boys grapple with both questions. Finally, Jamie's pick, Patsy Cline's "Patsy Cline's Greatest Hits", is a brief exploration of Patsy Cline's unfortunately short music career. Will this episode be our greatest hit? Come along and find out!
