That is terrible. It's like they went out of their way to get their way to get the songs nobody likes. I hope nobody in the band had anything to do with that.

Bee Gees Greatest Hits
I was gonna add Hot Rocks '64-'71, but it isn't really under-appreciated, I guess.
Come Dancing with the Kinks is an unsung gem covering the less-cool post-Pye years. Lots of great songs in there.
Sparks' Best Of Sparks was a good one, too.
And Serge Gainsbourg's Coleur Cafe and Comic Strip are both awesome comps.
The one where he's on the rail tracks?
That's a great one.
Best: U2 - "1980-1990" - Disgustingly full of great music, including U2's best song, "Bad"
Most Underrated: Styx - "Greatest Hits" - Guilty pleasure of mine
Very best of Fleetwood Mac (disc one)
Best of Candlebox
My 2 cents on U2 post Joshua Tree:
U2's "Achtung Baby" was just as brilliant as "Joshua Tree."
"Zooropa" was highly underrated, "All that u can't..." has its moments but yeah, the rest is garbage.
greatest hits are good and all that, but i don't care for them that much. the cuts on them are never from the original recording. they're all done differently. either edited down or they beef up the rhythm track or backing vox. one thing i do like is sometimes they have live, rare, or new tracks on them.
ney Rejects, Mrs. Miller, Alien Ant Farm, and Graveyard BBQ all led their debut albums as "Greatest Hits".
Reba or Strait, can't beat their greatest hits
Who underrates Journey. I can't think of a single person who doesn't LOVE Journey.
yeah, that would fall under the "best" part.....
not the most thought out thread le ever on my part.
not sure why this thread got dug up from the grave....![]()

New Edition - New Edition's Greatest Hits
That's just wrong - U2 albums in the 80s shouldn't be condensed into a greatest hits album, they were complete albums that deserve to be listened to with their integrity intact.
I couldn't disagree more. Rattle and Hum (American blues), Achtung Baby (German electro goth rock), Zooropa (U2's DSOTM) and Pop (a reaction against Pop) show incredible musical diversity, and each one of those albums is genius IMHO.
Sounds to me like you guys are electronica haters, whereas I think U2's diversion into electronic-influenced progressive rock was incredible. Listen to Zooropa again and tell me it isn't one of the great dystopian soundscapes of all time.
Yup, condensing Radiohead into a greatest hit package goes against the very ethic of their music IMHO. I spit on that !
My nomination is this:
because Blur packed their albums with a lot of crap, which makes it hard to listen to them all the way through, although it should have Death of a party on it too.
Also, Billy Joel's Greatest Hits is awesome (although it should include Streetlife Serenader), as is Elton John's Greatest Hits. I grew up listening to those guys with my father.
Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) by Wu-Tang Clan
I know neither of my entries are "greatest hits" compilations but the albums are underrated and virtually every song on them is great.
isn't it funny how you see the word 'underrated' yet automatically know most people will toss out that is clearly well known and not underrated in any way?
I can't stand them.I can't think of a single person who doesn't LOVE Journey.
Best is GNR's greatest hits, even tho most didn't agree with the tracklisting.
I am guilty of CBF's charge, but I dont give a .
Sorry if its been mentioned.
Bob Seger.
ing awesome compilation.
Nor I and all because he says "...south Detroit!" I have to hear that at every sporting event.
