And my vote for "Against All Odds", which is by far the best song Phil Collins has ever written without collaborating with other Genesis members. (Yes, even better than "In The Air Tonight")

Geir Hongro, Thursday, 26 July 2007 23:23 (eighteen years ago)

somebody remind me why they put a pig in shades on the front cover of these for a bit

blueski, Thursday, 26 July 2007 23:23 (eighteen years ago)

The pig was on the first one too, so I guess it became the "mascot" for a while.

Geir Hongro, Thursday, 26 July 2007 23:24 (eighteen years ago)

Gotta be "White Lines".

Z S, Thursday, 26 July 2007 23:38 (eighteen years ago)

Wasn't the pig originally listening to a cockeral crowing on a farmyard, and thinking "that's what I call music".

Bit of a crap slection but "Love Wars"!

I preferred the Hits lps. I had the 1st couple. When did they stop?

Herman G. Neuname, Thursday, 26 July 2007 23:50 (eighteen years ago)

Hits 9 was released in early 1989, and then the series became "Monster Hits" in 1989, for a few editions until it reached #4 or something in 1991.

I guess that winner is a lot more of a classic now that it was back then.
