I guess, at least in the eyes of
record executives, every artist needs to have, at some point a
"greatest hits" album. That's what this tries to be. I imagine the
band didn't want it. Perhaps the irony of the title? (Pink Floyd never
had anything closely resembling a "dance song".) Because of the
length of most of the band's material, only six songs are featured - and
many of them are heavily edited. To
be fair, I'm not sure if I could pick a better set than what's featured
here (you have to keep it at single album length, remember), so it's a
fair snapshot of what made them special in the last decade. I guess
this would be o.k. if you could only buy one Pink Floyd album, though, there are
still a lot of better choices.
