Back in the old days,
before an artist put out a greatest hits package, they had to have released at least 7 or 8 albums, and maybe have that many hits. (There has always been some filler even on greatest hits albums.) In recent years, we've seen the miserable trend of adding a new song to the package, so in order to get the song, you had to buy the album.

What does all this have to do with Lenny Kravitz? Well, I was under the impression that he had maybe a couple of hits and just a couple of albums. But of course his one big hit Are You Gonna Go My Way is a great rock n roll anthem! So based on this one song, plus the new hit on this package, again I made the purchase. I was surprised to find a couple of hits that I didn't know were his. Overall a lot of filler, but still worth it for the four songs that I have samples of here.
