1 stars 'A Collection Of Great Dance Songs' - Pink Floyd (Compilation)

I am bemused over this compilation. I ask myself, 'what's the point?' and I am greeted with no proper answer. The music on this CD is great, to be certain. But, as is fatal with so many prog compilations, wouldn't it be better to listen to the music in the context it was written into? For the same amount of money, one could buy an actual Pink Floyd CD, and get much more enjoyment out of it than this.

Even a 'best of' compilation would make more sense, even if it was only for the 1971-1979 era... But this seems a bit random. If this is a 'best of,' than where's 'Comfortably Numb' or 'Have A Cigar' or anything? There's certainly room for them to go on the record... Hell; these songs don't even have anything to do with each other!

Another testament to why record companies should be put to death. Pure commercialism, and naive commercialism at that.
