[Music] Best compilation album?

[Icy Gull]

Not sure if we’ve done this before and plenty of people look down their noses at them, but which is your favourite, assuming you buy such things.

I guess this will include live albums as well as varied artists and best of albums.

At the risk of being dissed by the music snobs on here I am going for Best of Hall and Oates and Best of Fleetwood Mac ( the Lindsay Buckingham version). My other half would also throw in the best of Michael McDonald which gets overplayed in this household. Best of Bob Marley also gets regular airtime

How MOTR are my tastes

Hoping to get pointers to albums I don’t have too.

Ah I forgot Enjoy Every Sandwich a various artist tribute album to Warren Zevon.

 

[Insel affe]

These three for starters, for me.

In 2001 I was a 14 year old doing my Leader round with my Walkman in my pocket. I picked up "The Album" as I quite liked the advert.

I then listened to it religiously. I remember first hearing Plug in baby and thinking "I need more of that". I then went on to become Muse obsessed through college and uni.

I'm also sure I know every word to the full version of Clint Eastwood (much better than the crappy chart version)

2. Mr Writer – Stereophonics
3. Teenage Dirtbag – Wheatus
