===1990β2005=== In the mid-1990s, Garrett returned to acting and singing, appearing in the 1995 low-budget horror film ''Dominion'', touring with [[the Melvins]] and recording vocals for their cover of "[[Smells Like Teen Spirit]]" on ''[[The Crybaby (album)|The Crybaby]]'' (2000). In 1998, a greatest hits compilation, ''[[The Leif Garrett Collection]]'', was released. Garrett, however, has stated: "My former record label was bought out. The label was started by me β¦ meaning my music started it, funded it. And then it was bought out by some company that released the Greatest Hits Collection. Not only have I not seen any royalties from that, but they wanted me to promote itβthe compensation being a couple of CDs."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.libertynjustice.net/gettoknow_leif.php |title=Liberty n' Justice β LNJ get to know Leif Garrett |publisher=Libertynjustice.net |access-date=May 14, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120413015846/http://www.libertynjustice.net/gettoknow_leif.php |archive-date=April 13, 2012}}</ref> In the late 1990s, Garrett hosted the series ''8-Track Flashback'' on the cable music channel VH-1, replacing fellow teen idol [[David Cassidy]].
