Def Leppard are releasing a new Best Of album, to replace the older Vault album. And?? Why??? Just another way for a band to make more money out of fans who have to buy everything. As much as I like their music it seems such a shame that, rather than putting out a definitive live album, it's a rehash of the Best Of concept. Have their fan base swelled enough to warrant this?

Given the ease at which any fan can copy CDs and burn their own is there really a need for Best Of albums? Everyone's taste is different. 100 fans of 100 groups will come up with an infinite different "Best Of" albums. Why bother putting out an album? Answer - to make money.

It's no wonder that people download as much music as they do.
