I mentioned in another thread the reason why I think no Bounce songs were included on the Greatest Hits.
I gave it it's own tread to get additional opinions and thoughts.

In Addition: I'd like to add my opinion as to why I feel Jon hates Greatest Hits.
I do believe the who nostalgic thing but I also feel that there are a lot of people making money off those past hits. I'm sure there is less financial gain from the old hits due to start-up record contracts. We all know how bitter Jon is when it comes to people making money off his stuff. That is probably the main reason why he hates them and another reason why TLFR was done as opposed to a real Greatest Hits. If he re-records his old music, there is less he needs to give back to the people he most likely can't stand (And I'll include Alex in that category as well).

My head was spinning as to why no Bounce songs were included. It made absolutely no sense to me. Everyday was a Grammy Nominated Song, Hit #1 on VH1, was a big outside the US, and you'd think they'd want to represent each album. Especially with all the time remaining on disk 2. Then it hit me, I remembered that they brought in outside song writers for Bounce. I looked it up on Wikipedia and sure enough, there was that guy who I never heard of all over the songs.
We all know how Jon is with $. And I believe that is the answer.
