And finally:
Quote: | 1) 1--The Beatles: Assembling their #1 hits in one spot is a great move for beginners. Too obvious for most and the group's genius was partly how they turned the album into an artform of its own. They even managed to do this with albums they didn't program, as the US versions didn't start matching their British counterparts until Sgt. Pepper's and yet the American release of Rubber Soul plays just fine. Chances are you can sing the songs on this collection in your sleep. If not, you haven't mastered the art of singing in your sleep. Or you've never owned a radio. |

Some would say Elvis is overrated.
The inclusion of "The Motown Box" was a cop out. |

Did History have all his best hits? Was it arranged in a way that would make it a great album on its own? I have to assume this list is not based merely on who had the best singles but how that album itself was great.
I would also throw the Billy Joel Best Ofs in there (the double album, not necessarily volume 3). But the Ramones? I like the Ramones, but I doubt I would put them in the top 25. _________________ Courage doesn't always roar.

Good point... MJs History was a double disc; one with all his hits and one with new material.
The greatest hits album I listen to the most is not on the list Bob Marley Legend |

Seriously. How is Bob Marley not on there? That's ridiculous. |

Why is this list populated with almost exclusively rock music? It makes the James Brown and Sly and the Family Stone props seem forced. |
