Greatest Hits...So Far!!!
Common Sense Media says
Some mature themes -- but lots of positivity, too.

QUALITY
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this album is a good sampling of the types of songs that have made Pink famous. Most of these tracks have a fun, carefree feel; though there are some references to substances, sex, and fighting that make them too mature for younger audiences, none of the tunes are too graphic. There is some moderate profanity, including the f-word.
What's the story?
GREATEST HITS...SO FAR!!! is the first greatest hits collection (though apparently not the last) from one of the coolest rock chicks around -- Pink. The compilation features 18 tracks spanning the singer's ten-year career to date, including everything from early hits like "Get the Party Started" to more recent singles such as "Raise Your Glass." As a whole, the songs demonstrate Pink's tendency to tell it like it is while trying to be herself and have some fun while she's at it. Parents should note that this approach occasionally includes references to substances, sex, and fighting, as well as some profanity.
Is it any good?
Pink has never had the vocal chops of contemporaries like Christina Aguilera, but she's far from a vocal slouch, either. Her respectably strong pipes shine through on several of these songs, with "Glitter in the Air" and "Dear Mr. President" (her collaboration with the Indigo Girls) standing out as special highlights. Plus, the girl knows a catchy hook when she hears it -- a talent that helped to make most of these tracks into huge radio hits.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about how to be yourself in situations where all of the "popular" kids fit a certain mold. Why do some kids follow the crowd -- even when they don't want to?
How can you feel good about who you are without letting potential teasing get you down?
Is Pink a good role model? Why or why not?

horrible album
Haha this album name is extremely funny, first of all every song sounds basically the same so there isn't need for an album. She should just make a song titled "This song sums up all my other ones". Also it's arrogant enough to imply there's going to be more hits, and if there are gonna be more hits then this album is completely pointless. People don't release greatest hits albums until it's late enough to tell what the greatest hits are.

Good for 14+ as long as your kid is mature
This album has a wide variety of songs in terms of lyrics ans content. Some songs, like "F**kin' Perfect", (besides a few F-bombs) feature great positive messages and role models. Others hit lower on the scale of appropriateness; others songs such as "U + Ur Hand" feature swearing such as f—k, s—t, and d—mn, as well as many sexual references ("I'm not here for your entertainment, It's just you and your hand tonight!"). This album is pretty much OK for mature 14 year olds and 15+. However, you might be better off looking up the individual song on CommonSenseMedia.org, or looking up the lyrics and scanning for language, sexual references, etc. and deciding for yourself!

Great Album, But Ensure You're Children Are Matured Enough.
"Greatest Hits... So Far!!!" by pop singer P!nk is my favorite CD to date. However, parents won't approve of this song for their teenagers due to the negativity in the songs. Firstly, in "Get The Party Started" there is consumerism. P!nk mentions "looking flashy in my Mercedies Benz". P!nk mentions sex and drugs in her song U + Ur Hand (a song banned in certain companies for its reference to mast/urbat/ing. The line of drinking is "Midnight, I'm drunk and I don't give a f**k!" That brings me to the language. All the songs in the GH album have profanity in them, although some songs more mild ("Dear Mr. President" says HELL one and GAY once). P!nk's songs have violence in them, such as Who Knew: "If someone said three years from now, You'd be long gone, I'D STAND UP AND PUNCH THEM OUT, They were all wrong". However, the songs can help with many life struggles, such as discussed in F**kin' Perfect: don't get down on yourself.
