favorite greatest hits album?

[pokerfan]

Sure, purists might turn up their noses, but is there anything wrong with a greatest hits album? Some of my favorites:

- Encore Collection (Little Feat)
- The Best of The Band
- Blue Album (Beatles)
- Still on Top (Van Morrison)
- Rearviewmirror (Pearl Jam)
