I recently heard a few tracks from Robbie Williams' new Rudebox album, specifically the collaboration with the Pet Shop Boys on "She's Madonna" and the Stephen Duffy penned "Kiss Me". I liked both very much and decided to investigate some of his back catalogue. I figured his Greatest Hits would be a good start. While some of the tracks are a bit too slick (and some are just plain bad), I was pleasantly surprised that most of these songs held up quite well. Frankly, I'm kind of mystified that many of these songs were not hits in the USA.
While I'm not looking to open up a debate on the merits of Robbie Williams' "art", given that this guy is a mega-celebrity in the UK, I wonder why this guy can't get any notice in states. Any ideas?
