Today is the anniversary of the release of Eagles Greatest Hits Volume 2.

I was thinking how this GH never gets any attention. The first Eagles Greatest Hits is the best-selling album of all time (although I believe it may currently be tied with Michael Jackson's Thriller after his death), yet Vol. 2 garners no such accolades.

I think it didn't sell as well because everybody already had Hotel California, songs from which make up about half of Eagles Greatest Hits Volume 2.
Plus, it was released in 1982; the Eagles were no longer even together, much less in the forefront of the music scene.

What do you think - and which do you like better?

To remind you, here are the track listings for the two albums:

Eagles Greatest Hits 1971-1975
Eagles Greatest Hits Vol. 2
I personally like the first one better, and have even before I knew it was so successful.
