They're called playlists on my music server. Itold you that thing has changed the way I listen to music.

Either the David Bowie Sound + Vision box set or the Slade Box boxset, both well done and great music.

I lost count of how many "greatest hits" compilations the Doors, god bless them, have out. All the compilations are very nicely packaged and marketed, but it's the same music! if you enjoy an artist's music, then show it by buying their albums instead of buying compilations, ad nauseam.

Currently, Love by the Beatles is my favorite.

If so, it has to be Pet Shop Boys' Discography: The Complete Singles Collection.

Steppenwolf: All Time Greatest Hits (MCA ASIN: B00003002E). The songs are remastered and "enhanced". Whatever, everything on this sounds better than ever.

Tom Jones: Golden Hits. No, really. It's a fun CD. Otherwise, the best compilations are the ones I make myself

Warm in Your Coat by Romeo Void. Covered the basics of a band that didn't put out that many albums, but what they did was great.

Private Collection 1979-1988 by Cliff Richard. The Best of OMD by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. The Best of Howard Jones. Fleetwood Mac and Rumours on a single cassette. I have too many favorites, but these remind me of how and when I started to fall in love with the western pop and rock music in my early twenties in China.

Elmore Leonard was asked about his success: "I just leave out all the stuff people would skip over." In the CD era, greatest hits compilations are the greatest invention since grass-fed beef. 80 minutes—no fat, no gristle—best of the bestest high-quality protein. I've collected dozens. Two faves: Alice Coltrane—The Impulse Story. And Mozart On The Menu.
