Bands who you only really need to own a Best Of for...

--- Quote from: onewheelwizzard ---Wait, people exist who like the Beatles and don't like Rubber Soul? What? That makes no sense to me. No sense at all. Anyone who claims to enjoy the music of the Beatles has no business not loving Rubber Soul. Their songwriting was never better than on that album (arguable exception: Run For Your Life)
And Magical Mystery Tour is a good album in its own right. The last 4 tracks are some of the best they ever did ... and I can understand if you don't like "I Am The Walrus," but I think it's awesome.

I don't know the tracklisting inside out; I just know the songs that I know from that album are pretty awful. Only A Northern Song, despite being fairly witty, is terrible. Flying, the title track, Walrus...everything I've heard from it is shite.

--- Quote from: DynamiteKid ---and I plan on getting a Marvin Gaye collection.

No, no. There's no way to cap the brilliance of Marvin Gaye in just one collection..."Whats Going On" is one of the greatest albums of ALL TIME. A collection without that album on both cd and vinyl is a collection that is not worthy enough to be considered "collection" Beyond that, I guess you could get the four-disc anthology, which includes early stuff with Tammi Terrell, to his "urban hobo" era, and includes some rarities, like a live version of The Star Spangled Banner, which brings the funk like no other.

My dad owns What's Going On and I have it ripped from that. It's brilliant. But I feel no need for any more than that. I'm not into the 'urban hobo' stuff and I don't generally give a shit about rarities by my favourite bands, even...

Actually, we have that. It's called "London Calling."

--- Quote from: karl gambolputty... ---If we're talking about a hypothetical person who has no 'favorite' bands, and just wants to buy a bunch of Best Of's (sorry, Anthologies), to see if any catch his/her ear:
Talking Head's Once in a Lifetime (Greatest compilation EVER)
--- End quote ---
It's gorgeous set (I needed it for the videos), but it's a bit pricey for someone who'd be looking just to catch their drift. I think Sand in the Vaseline would be better suited for something like that, or even The Name Of This Band even though it's not really a compilation.
--- End quote ---
Granted. Hell, it's too pricey for me, and I'm a fan. But *looks over shoulder* there are... ways, of getting your hands on albums without technically paying for them. I borrowed it from my school's library.
