The Rolling Stones "Hot Rocks" 1964-1971

I have 40 Licks, which I think is a good overview of the Stones' career.

Off the top of my head, the hits CDs I listen to the most are:

Parliament: Tear the Roof Off 1976-80
Funkadelic: Music For Your Mother/Funky 45s
Jaco Pastorius: Anthology
David Bowie: The Singles 1969-1993
Queen: Platinum Collection
Frank Zappa: Strictly Commercial (Though not so much anymore since I've accumulated his collection of releases pretty thoroughly now)
Boney M Gold : 20 Super Hits
Jimmy Buffett: Songs you know by heart.

Generally, I like to get cohesive albums more than hits, but some hits CDs (like the Zappa one, for example), have done an amazing job of making me invest a lot of money into my music collection.

I also think, as a great hits set, The Hits/The B-Sides is among the better compilations out there. It has some great stuff that isn't easy to get any other way, and that's always a plus

The Cult

Pure Cult-For Rockers, Ravers, Lovers And Sinners

This is a great "best of". And it's interesting the way it's sequenced, they sound like a completely different band from one track to the next.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Greatest Hits



New Order - Substance



Pet Shop Boys - Discography

Here are some of mine:

Prince: The Hits/The B-Sides
James Brown: 20 Greatest Hits
Barry White: All Time Greatest Hits
Jackson 5: The Ultimate Collection
Janet Jackson: Design Of A Decade (Still Waiting For A Sequel )
Michael Jackson: HIStory or The Essential
Madonna: The Immaculate Collection
Parliament: Tear The Roof Off 1974-80
War: Anthology
Bootsy Collins: Glory B The Funk's On Me
The Beatles: The Red & Blue Album

The Commodores greatest hits, Temptations greatest, The Hits, Jeffrey Osborne's greatest hits CD and Phil Collins greatest hits (One of the best Cd's) .

Sometimes, I think we have the same music collection. I suggest this one:

Got it and love it, but I don't play it often. I'm a pretty huge Depeche fan, so I play the albums more.

However, I play this one quite a bit:

Marvellous collection by Dionne Warwick Her All-Time Greatest Hits


Sly Anthology maybe the best introducción to his music.


And I love this collection of Greatest Hits by Earth, Wind & Fire

A few more:

Squeeze - Singles 45's and Under


The Best of Morrissey


Cyndi Lauper - 12 Deadly Cyns...and then Some


The Best of the Doors


Duran Duran - Greatest




With most of my favorite artists, even though I own the Greatest Hits, I don't really play them very often. So albums like U2's 1980-1990, REM's In Time, Prince's Hits/B-Sides, Gabriel's Shaking the Tree don't really get many spins from me. However, they would all stand up with the albums I've already listed.

You guys are right.

The best bowling alley jukeboxes I program actually have these CDs as choices.
