It's rare when the record labels get it right. Or are at least close to perfect. This week saw the release of Jane's Addiction Greatest Hits. Oddly, (the original line-up) Jane's Addiction had a mere 3 hits - Stop!, Been Caught Stealin', and Jane Says. So instead of padding the disc with other forced and unplayed singles (Ex: So What!), the label smartly went in and grabbed some of the most popular and loved songs from the band's career only extracting 2 songs from the reunion album and no songs from the seldom mentioned demo album. But Jane's was a band of many great songs. If you want a strong sampling of mostly their best stuff...pick up the GH disc. And if it tickles your pickle, herer are:
