Being a faithful MB20 fan I have all of their CDs, but I did purchase Exile on Mainstream because of the 6 new songs plus the bonus DVD. Those things alone help make this one of my favorite compilation CDs that I own. Of course in addition to those things the selection of their hits is fairly comprehensive. While if I were to make my own I'd of course add some "B-sides", I realize that GH CDs are for fans who may *only* like the singles. Either way, I was impressed they included songs like Back to Good and Bright Lights, in addition to all of their hit singles that I LOVE. MB20 are genius. The lyrics, the voice, the instruments...I like that they do more than the average band; they shoot for more than status quo and they shake things up with each new CD by giving them their own voice and feel. If you like MB20 this is a CD to definitely add to your collection. And if you're a radio fan, I think this CD is certainly something you'll enjoy as well.
