Elvis, now there is some debate on which compilation is the best, but for my money I'm gonna go with: Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits by Elvis Presley _________________ Nothing really matters, anyone can see, nothing really matters, nothing really matters to me.
1) I included a number of greatest hits, best of, compilation albums in my best ever chart. Criticism followed, of course, which was expected and fair.
You include compilations for The Beatles, Zeppelin, The Doors, Bowie, Neil Young and The Pixies on your overall chart on this site, you're going to get some shit. That's just how it is. 😄 On the other hand, including Legend, which was a hugely popular comp., or one for Queen seems reasonable.
I LOVE (most of) their singles. Yet none of their albums would ever make my overall. I don't think they ever made a GREAT album.
Even better than hot rocks (for me) is the collection of The Stones Singles Collection from the 60s. But I LOVE all their albums from the 60s too. Even the really early stuff.

Since in the 50s and 60s, soul, R&B and blues were singles genres, and the producers/artists for the most part weren't trying to make album statements, compilations are often necessary. Even as Sly Stone, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and P-Funk fought to reverse this mindset, it continued to an extent in the 70s and beyond.
James Brown is a top 3 artist for me, and even though the first Live at the Apollo proved to the music industry that R&B albums were a viable business model, he's still primarily a singles artist, so a comprehensive compilation like this one is essential:

Star Time by James Brown
They have made a number of records. But does anyone need more than their greatest Hits? _________________ When the stewardess is near do not show any fear.
