Compilation albums
It must be law or something that every compilation usually involving "the greatest" must include a comedy recent track for no reason.
For example, who thought itd be a good idea to put Chad Kroeger - Hero on the "Greatest driving album of all time"
Or even better, what genius decided "Weezer - Hash Pipe" was one of the best air guitar anthems of all time.
Other examples / Explanations?

Uhh, what compilation albums do you buy?
I mean, i've never met that trend, but i don't really get hold of that many compilation albums, and if i do, it's usually obscure hiphop or strange regga, and on those, there are very few ...
No, actually, youre right. I've just never thoguht about it.

Makes me laugh when you see
"Greatest ... in the world ever II"
meaning that the original one should be renamed to "Not quite the greatest ... in the world ever"
Most compilations I see these days are usually comprised of 1 or possibly 2 big tracks which spark off a market hype - followed by the same tracks that seem to appear on every compilation regardless.
Its yet another way of scamming people out of money really.
Ocassionally I will find a compilation for a recording label rather than "Whats In" - They are usually much better.

There are a lot of great compliation albums out there, you just have to look past the "big" stores and go for genre-spesifics! Or mixtape's even, they also quite rock, but there are not many coming out nowadays, it seems
But they all have funny tracks

Maybe people have different taste to you.
Having said that, compilation albums are generally rubbish, and I don't understand why people don't just make their own.

what makes hero a driving anthem? and how can you rationalise putting hash pipe on the greatest air guitar album, even accounting for taste?

It wouldn't suprise me if they put The Beatles on the "best of the nineties" and then tried to justify it by saying "well there was a 'Best of the Beatles' album released during the nineties".

What were the other songs on the driving album?
Either way, it wouldn't be a "comedy" choice.
And Hash Pipe is a good guitar based song (not that I can even remember it at this moment). Problems?

i cant remember to be honest.
Also, hash pipe is not good (opinion), and there are thousands of better songs than it (opinion) and there are thousands of better guitar riff / air guitar songs not on the album (fact).

Hash pipe is not an air guitar song.
It's hardly riff based, is it?

Why would it need to be riff based?

air guitar
noun _an imaginary guitar played while miming to rock music

It just needs to be rock music.
At the same time, I'm not claiming it's one of the best air guitar songs EVER, but I fail to see how that makes it a "comedy option"*
* = that expression is really, really tired now.

i didnt use the phrase "comedy option", i said "comedy recent track"
Could you "air guitar" to hash pipe? Yes i know, technically you can air guitar to anything, but hash pipe is ridiculously far down the list of songs youd want to air guitar too (thats if you could even stand the piece of crap)

Well, it was over two years ago the album was released so it depends what you mean by recent but yeah.
