Neil Young's Decade. It's not a greatest hits collection but it's close.

The Rolling Stones Forty Licks is great and for just pure, fun rock, Cheap Trick's Greatest Hits always gets me going. 
I'll agree that Appetite for Destruction was far more even overall, but Patience, Estranged, Don't Cry, Civil War, and You Could Be Mine -- among others -- say you're wrong.Matlock said:
Anyway, another vote for U2, Best of 1980-1990 (a shame that some of the songs are cut, though... and no Bullet the Blue Sky).
Also:
Not sure if this really counts as "greatest hits," but I'll put it here anyway:
Mr. E. Yis
Banned
a few pop ones to add...

God what a shitty band. I really loved their first 2 albums, but after Tragic Kingdom they went downhill, IMO. They could have proved that you could be both a profitable band and a ska band, but instead chose the shitty synth-rock crap that they did.
Tripping, don't take this as a slam against your taste. I just felt like venting for the moment....

:lol Nah I hear that often. 2/3 of their fanbase stopped listening after TragicTedesco! said:

Though if it counts, my vote goes to: The Name of This Band is Talking Heads.
Greatest Hits do serve the purpose of acting as a primer for those not familiar with the artists' work.
As far as Talking Heads go, if you can buy the Boxed Set.
Boxed Sets >>> Greatest Hits.

Wow, Toby Keith had enough hits for not only 1, but 2 Greatest Hits collections? I'm going to put my boot in someone's ass for this.

Guns N' Roses Live Era (Would that be considered greatest hits? Should be.)

Agreed. Isn't there one like Sounds of Summer or something with Summer in the title? That's a good Greatest Hits album..

I bought Neil Young's Greatest Hits album yesterday, which I think came out late last year.
Only 16 tracks though...Decade might have most if not all of 'em covered.

Don't see why not...here's a great live album.
And I also have the following...
(A bit of overlap with the last two, but both were dirt cheap).
I'd like to get greatest hits CD's for Hendrix, Lionel Richie and Run DMC in the near future.
I'm also gonna start looking into box sets more...the Stevie Wonder and Bob Marley box sets are pretty tempting. So is the Hendrix one for that matter, though it's a bit out of my price range.
