sixties compilations
tkitna:
I think its due to licensing issues with EMI and such. I dont think that they would allow one of their cash cows to be included on the compilation records when The Beatles catalog is interesting enough that people still buy it up. People arent going to go out and buy an entire 'The Archies' record just for 'Sugar,Sugar', so compilation albums make sense for them.
I dont think you'll find Zeppelin or Floyd or any huge band like that on compilation albums (i'm probably wrong) because they just dont need them.

Nope. You're right.
Frightwolf:
This all makes sense to me.
There are a lot of bands, however, which I am really vague on, so I don't know if they just didnt' have many hits or I'm just oblivious to them. For example, what songs, other than Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes, were performed by Edison Lighthouse? That's the only one I know :(
Rowdy:
The Beatles are really picky about their own catalog......"Happiness Is A Warm Gun" was used in Bowling for Columbine, and I think it was the only time that one of the band's songs featured in a movie that wasn't theirs and wasn't someone covering them....Yoko decided to allow it because the film is anti Gun violence, which obviously lead to John's death.
