Van Halen does need to release a 'catalogue killer' greatest hits. They aren't a singles band, so it's not necessary. Their albums are strong overall, and contain great material than what was otherwise heard on FM radio through the years.
Casual fans of Van Halen's have continued to purchase their studio albums even though BOV1 came out in '96, because their albums are strong overall. Just like after BOBW, they will continue to sell their catalogue to the casual fan.
Artists like Britney Spears need catalogue killers because their catalogue won't be selling in twenty years. She'll need the hits package to put all her radio hits in one tidy package so there's some hope she can still move copies.
