Description

It's the first show of 2021 and seeing as it's the beginning of the year, there's not all that much going on in terms of new releases (sorry The Dirty Nil, we'll cover you next week). So instead of our usual weekly review show, Steve and Remfry bring you something seasonal ... a look at 10 Best Of / Greatest Hits collections that we deem essential. 

The criteria is to choose best of collections by bands who may not have an essential back catalogue as a whole, but have a great collection of songs all the same. Maybe they are missing that all killer, no filler definitive album, or maybe the band or artist themselves have an average discography when taken as a whole, but collect together their hits and you've got one almighty banger of an album. There's controversy aplenty, as Remfry picks a best of by one of the biggest metal bands of all time and Steve threatens anyone that doesn't like Motown.

If you’re here then we’d like to assume you are a music fan with impeccable taste, and appreciate the job we’re trying to do in promoting the very best in alternative music. Both Stephen and Remfry (that’s us) have written and spoken millions of words about our favourite bands in everything from The Independent and The Guardian to Metal Hammer and Team Rock Radio, and beyond. We have dedicated large chunks of our lives to passionately promoting our favourite music, but never has there been an outlet that offers us the opportunity to rep for all the many genres of alternative music that we adore. Until now. Whether you are a fan of brutal death metal or wistful singer songwriters, three chord punk rock or sprawling prog epics, we believe that music in all of its forms deserves to be celebrated. So we started Riot Act to do exactly that. This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy
