Шаблон:Infobox album Шаблон:Album ratings Greatest Hits is a greatest hits compilation album by the American musician Wesley Willis, released on July 7, 1995.

Background

The album is a compilation of songs from Willis' output from 1992 to 1995, compiled by Alternative Tentacles' label manager Jello Biafra.[1] This includes then-unreleased tracks and over 10 CDs.[2] Most songs follow Willis' trademark style of simplistic, repetitive songwriting and lyrics that discuss influences, comical situations, and personal issues of physical and mental health due to Willis's chronic schizophrenia.[3] Most of his songs use instrumentals made with a 1980's Casio keyboard. His songs often end with the phrase "Rock over London, rock on Chicago," followed by a sponsor, such as "Wheaties: Breakfast of Champions."

Reception

In a review for AllMusic, Blake Butler wrote the CD is "a must for everyone with a sense of humor".[4]
