Good in the car

Review Score: (10/10)
When I think about a "greatest hits" collection I usually think of it in terms of whether or not it has enough "great" songs on it to take it in the car instead of lugging an artist's entire portfolio from house to automobile floorboard and then having to skip through the tracks I don't care for while keeping an eye on the traffic idiots. This one fits the criteria very well. Yeah, it really should have "In Your Eyes" on it and it's hard for me to understand why Peter would leave it out just because of his divorce but, hey, he's got his reasons I guess. It's a GLARING omission, however. But the tracks are not in chronological order, which I like. A hits album doesn't have to be like an episode of "Behind the Music." I'm glad they put in "I don't remember" and "San Jacinto" because they represent Mr. Gabriel's uncommercial side quite well.
