My FIFTEEN favourite BEST OFs / GREATEST HITS Albums

[@ryanforprez2008]

We Sold Our Souls for Rock n Roll was my introduction to Black Sabbath - listening thru headphones that album blew my mind.

[@PhilBaird1]

Great compilation that seemed to capture what they were all about.

[@JeffCooper10538]

If I was compiling a “Best Of” of your videos this would be track 1. Excellent stuff. The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra. That’s the one!

[@retromusings]

Great to see someone give "best of " albums some well-deserved attention. Enjoyed watching and learning about the personal backstories behind your favourites.

[@mikewest1542]

I do agree with you Andy , Cream are a bit hot and cold, their most consistent album is the sublime Disraeli Gears .

[@robertgough5804]

No Disraeli Gears is iconic. Not a bad track. And the cover!

[@MrAnthony872]

As a child of the seventies, I grew up watching Starsky & Hutch. Did not know Bernie Hamilton was Chico's brother. You're absolutely right Andy. That is indeed the type of content which brings me to your channel. Well, that and the Mahavishnu Orchestra. 😊

[@steliosposeidon6871]

The Kinks (Marble Arch, 60’s, mono vinyl) budget compilation albums: “Well Respected Kinks” and “Sunny Afternoon”, great tracks and a big sound!

[@BarkingSpiders-km7oj]

I find that live albums are often the best 'best of' for those bands that were/are much better live than on studio albums and as such are usually the only albums by them you need. Examples for me are Cheap Trick's 'Live At Budokan' (the 2-cd re-issue), The Tubes 'What Do You Want from Live', AC/DC;s 'If you want blood), Deep Purple's 'Made in Japan' and Thin Lizzy's 'Live and Dangerous'. I know many will disagree but it's just my 10 cents worth.

[@billphelps5611]

Enjoyed seeing your selections Andy. The three best of records that mean a lot to me are Alice Cooper's Greatest Hits (1974) with the awesome pencil drawn cover, Jimi Hendrix Smash Hits (the American version) and The Best of The Doobie Bros...had them when I was a kid and played them over and over and over! Mothermania is also awesome, love that record as well

[@MichaelRise-y1w]

The bass player on both Truth and Beck Ola was Ron Wood while the drummer on Truth was Mickey Waller. You’re a drummer Andy! Give Mickey the credit he surely deserves.

[@PhilBaird1]

I loved his 'rattletrap' drum sound on those early Rod Stewart albums. Surely recorded in the back of the van. Might have been Kenney Jones on some of them.

[@ernger531]

He talks about Becks Bolero, and the drummer on this track is Keith Moon,the bass player John Paul Jones

[@smalltown2223]

I remember sneaking 24 Carat Purple into the house when I was about 12 years old. Dad had ‘views’ on rock music. Great best of album.

[@jebgordon6608]

As a lad you most likely had Strange Brew: The Very Brew of Cream (1983), which includes "Politician".

[@edwardyazinski3858]

Just love the ENTHUSIASM!! Can feel how music rouses the heart and the soul and why it is so very important and powerful! Thanks Bubba! 🍻

[@delorangeade]

Best of Mountain and Mott the Hoople's Greatest Hits were important albums for me. Deepest Purple changed my life.

[@user-wy1ev4yq5d]

Thank you for this video. Your knowledge and depth of music always amazes me!

[@zolaczakl]

Ah Mothermania my first Zappa album, bought when I was about 14. I used to play this all the time and knew every word. This is a brilliant introduction to the Mothers of Invention. Agree with the inclusion of the best of Earth Wind & Fire another essential compilation.

[@luisnunes3863]

On the matter of compilations you buy because the classics are not available, Angra's Best Reached Horizons and Rhapsody's Live From Chaos to Eternity are fantastic! Those classics are the pinnacle of 90s metal. Goosebumps all the way through!

[@schizoidman4300]

EMI's Masters of Rock comps did indeed originate from Germany but were sold all over Europe. The other artists featured in the series were, in no particular order, Wizzard, Pink Floyd, Steppenwolf, The Band, ELO, Rare Earth, East of Eden, Edgar Broughton Band, Steve Miller Band, Grand Funk Railroad and, yes, Geordie (which was the one I bought around 1976 for five Deutschmarks, I think. I actually still own it).

[@James-hd4ms]

Nice

[@fogzax]

Depeche Mode - The Singles 81-85 - for me they really made a massive effort with their singles in comparison to a lot of the album tracks. Thin Lizzy - The Collecion was one that was given to me in a vinyl collection and I was blown away by their early tracks like Return of the Farmer's Son Attention Black Sabbath - was another gifted record that had tracks from the first three albums and sounded fantastic too The Essential Jean Michelle Jarre will always hold a special place for me. Great stuff and one of the Magnetic Fields tracks is a totally different version than appears on the album - I loved this version so much when I finally got Magnetic Fields many years later it totally threw me and still sounds totally weird to me now Siouxsie and the Banshees - Once Upon a Time - this is the only Banshees album I had as a kid and it's killer. Another band where you can tell they paid special attention to their singles. Hendrix - Smash Hits was a killer comp which also included the great 51st Anniversary but also the weird and really badly produced Stars that Play with Laughing Sam's Dice Exorcising Ghosts by Japan too was the first Japan release I got although totally dominated by Tin Drum and the most popular tracks from Gentlemen Take Polaroids you also get some really great instrumental interludes and a couple of tracks from Quiet Life.

[@taintedlife2618]

I LOVE Japan! Depeche Mode Singles is a great compilation. Specifically love the mix of Photographic on it. And love Once Upon a Time. Mirage is one of my favorite Banshes songs

[@plooopymops]

Andy, please do a deep dive into My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts. I remember you briefly mentioning it in a previous video, but I would love to hear you talk about it in more depth.

[@sspbrazil]

Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady is my all time favorite. We Sold Our Souls For Rock and Roll is up there too.

[@steliosposeidon6871]

Good call!

[@LanceRED58]

Hey Andy I really enjoyed this video , looking forward to many more !

[@stewarttiley9683]

Black Sabbath Greatest Hits on NEMS records and the amazing Bruegel painting “The Triumph of Death” on the cover! As a 12 year old this was my incredible introduction to the greatest metal band of all time. The painting perfectly describes the mood of Sabbath and also introduced me to fine art! Also “Relics” by Pink Floyd issued on Music for Pleasure was a great compilation of their best early stuff including the Nile song ( total punk/metal song way ahead of its time and seemingly ignored in music history!) Also ELO Greatest Hits with photo of the medallion on the cover and Geoff Lynne”s letter in the back is an amazing compilation which preoccupied my youth! And T. R. A. S. H. by the Tubes on A and M was great.

[@neilclark1681]

I had the NEMS Black Sabbath Greatest Hits on vinyl. - EVERY song is kickass !! - Played it to death while soaking in that Hellish cover art. - And a couple of points on the album used to freak out my pet cat, lol.

[@neil993]

9 minutes in and you have just introduced me to 'Do what cha wanna', and you now have my eternal gratitude.

[@aminahmed2220]

Awesome video have a wonderful day Andy ❤😊

[@apollomemories7399]

Actually, a number of Sabbath fans bought the 'Sold Our Souls' compilation just for the non-album B-side track, 'Wicked World', which was the other side of the 'Evil Woman' single issued twice in January and again March 1970, which nobody bought.

[@James-hd4ms]

Great confession Andy. You’re a special voice.

[@ari1234a]

What band needs a good compilation is Kinks. From "You Really Got Me" to "Come Dancing" There are just so many brilliant tunes from Ray Davis.

The Who - Ultimate Collection The Jam - Snap! (Double Lp Vinyl) Beatles - Red n Blue Small Faces - Ultimate Collection Queen - Greatest Hits ABBA - Gold Iron Maiden Elvis - Must have the most greatest hits albums than anyone. I’m gonna stop there cause it will go on forever..

[@orchestraglobola]

Elvis? LOL! A bunch of covers in the first year, then only forgettable rubbish. He could have a Greatest hits EP, perhaps. A full Elvis album is a boring endeavour.

[@jimmycampbell78]

@@orchestraglobola I'm not particularly a fan of Elvis, more my dad's era, but when it comes to classic rock n roll songs and 'hits' - he has lots of them. Blue Suede Shoes, Hound Dog, Love Me Tender, Jailhouse Rock, All Shook Up, Heartbreak Hotel, Don't be Cruel, One Night, King Creole, Are You Lonesome Tonight, Wooden Heart, Return to Sender, Can't Help Falling in Love, Viva Las Vegas, Crying in the Chapel, You're the Devil in Disguise, In the Ghetto, Suspicious Minds, The Wonder of You, A Little Less Conversation, An American Trilogy etc etc etc He sang other people's songs, yes, but in many cases his is the definitive version. These are famous songs everyone knows, and I just scratched the surface. More than an EP's worth, no? The point is Elvis is a quintessential 'greatest hits' artist, no- you wouldn't buy every single thing Colonel Tom Parker had Elvis put out.

The best best of Album is Made in Japan: the best of Purple in the best way played ever- HIstory made. The sheer energy of that tops all perfomances of Zeppelin live by a million.

[@garyh.238]

You are absolutely correct Sir!

[@PhilBaird1]

You're absolutely right. Zeppelin made better studio albums, but live they just didn't have the energy of Deep Purple.

Tremendous record.

You might be shocked to know that Blackmore's all-time favourite band is Abba. Good taste that fella!

[@guillaumechabason3165]

I had also Kiss compilation Double platinum which was great Made in Japan was the first DP I listened to and it is the best drumming performance on a rock live album I have ever heard

[@mikewest1542]

I love the Who, their most underrated album is The Who sell out . Who’s Next is great but most of the best tracks are on the CD outtakes version, ever better !

[@FormulaProg]

Quadrophenia was their peak.

[@christopher9152]

@@FormulaProg It's all subjective and a matter of taste. I liked them best on The Who Sells Out, and really, from their beginning as a singles band through Tommy. After Townsend discovered synthesizers, it all got a little bloated and self-serious for me, though they continued to make better rock music than most.

[@neilclark1681]

*A Collection of Beatles Oldies - But Goldies. - My mum’s album which introduced me to the Fab 4. - Only played it a handful of times, then NEVER played it again. - I could tell they were all good songs but none grabbed me enough to want to hear them again. *Manfred Mann - Semi-Detached Suburban. - Was heavily advertised on TV in 1978, I played this LOUD hundreds of times.

A pink floyd compilation "A Collection of Great Dance Songs" that I borrowed from the library was what first got me into them back in the 80's. It was just enough to get me interested in them which soon turned into an obsession.

[@GMTPoet]

Hot Rocks -- Rolling Stones Perfect Best Of, because it included all the hit singles not on albums, but album cuts that were never released as singles. Sequenced beautifully, breaking their career into three phases -- early hits, mid-sixties experiments, and the late sixties return to the blues. Side 4 is bits and pieces. Sound and Vision -- Bowie. Great selection of his 70s work, including hits, key album cuts, and unreleased material. Decade -- Neil Young. Great for the same reasons as above. And I totally agree on The Beach Boys, All you need is a Greatest Hits album. There are many to choose from, my favorite is Endless Summer.

[@davestephens6421]

Andy, you need to hear Surfs Up, Holland and the Smile Albums by The Beach Boys. The track Surfs up is simply a masterpiece!!!! You simply can't go wrong with Bird...... I love that Cream album.....perfect programming!! Just wish they would release it on CD....had the Brubeck on vinyl too.... Just bought Sabb's 4 last week....to update my first 4 classic CD's... BTW been listening to Ogdens Nut Gone Flake by the Small Faces....don't recall you mentioning it........quite Progy/English Aesthetic.... Great choices!! Love the Shakti impersonation 😂

[@arthurgoodman2531]

The Who Sell Out is a compilation in itself -- and essential.

[@julianchristopher147]

Never wanted a whole album of Steely Dan, so Greatest Hits (1978) was a good double-album sampler. It only covered the 70s albums, not a single bad track on it.

[@h.m.7218]

There's no way to be more wrong than that in my opinion... Steely Dan is precisely one of the few bands or artists whose discography is shock full of deep tracks that are every bit as good as the hits. Countdown, Pretzel Logic, Katy Lied, Royal Scam, Aja... Even Gaucho... are up there with the best ever series of albums ever produced in the popular music realm.

[@guillaumechabason3165]

Fagen is the best songs composer of all times

Wicked World wasn't on the UK release of Black Sabbath. That's why I bought the compilation!

As I understand it, Charlie Parker earned the name "Bird" when he insisted the band stop to pick up a chicken that had been freshly hit by a car so they could cook it up and have it for dinner.

[@davidwhiteford4936]

I saw John, Paco, and Al play for four hours at the Country Club in Reseda, CA. It was totally mind blowing! Most attendees could not withstand that much complexity for so long and staggered out of the show early. I could tell it was a historic show, so I stayed and I think I have a better ear today because of doing so. It's funny how seminal moments like that mould us.

[@hansmagnusmalcolmsen9354]

I bought many cheap Best Ofs on cassettes as a kid. Specially at market stalls just across the border, in Sweden. Many of these were pirate releases, but I didn't know that at the time.😄

[@7BobbyGaylor7]

Great video. Earth Wind & Fire and Sabbath! Yes! I'm new to the VC. Cheers.

[@asprinklingofclouds]

Best ofs account for a large proportion of my music collection. It's a practical solution to the problem of having a wide variety of musical tastes but limited funds. Too often in the past I have bought original albums only to find I only like one or two tracks, however I am rarely disappointed with a best of and if that does happen it is usually due to a bad pressing.

[@mrinalkundu1521]

Beatles Blue was the first album I owned (along with Santana, Santana).

[@MrThebigcheese75]

I’m glad it’s not just me with pet sounds, two good even exceptional songs. I’m sure that’s the one my folks had growing up, wonder what happened to it.

[@324cmac]

The reason to get an album instead of greatest hits sometimes is when it has a theme. On which, each song was carefully written and organized. Also, it could be because of the album art, the liner notes, the sleeves, and the other perks you get on the album holder itself when there's a theme. For example, What's Going On by Marvin Gaye is a lot different than just his greatest hits. Electric Ladyland was much different than Jimi's greatest hits. So I usually get both.

[@michaelbenz8092]

I have Brubeck's four disc compilation Time Signatures. I also really like Ozark Mountain Daredevils' Time Warp. CCR's Chronicle is also exceptional. Classic Yes is a great alternative to listening to the studio albums, which are still essential. Steve Miller Band-Greatwst Hits 1974-78.

The clue to who previously did "Warning' you read out Dunbar/Dmochowski/Morshead. These were three members of The Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation along with Victor Brox and of course Aynsley Dunbar and Alex Dmochowski both played with Frank Zappa.

I do now have Spectrum and Crosswinds, however, that best of is what I keep going back to. I had that Beach Boys album and I agree, I had that Cream on cassette back in the day and now have it on original vinyl, I do agree, the studio albums are patchy. I am trying to find original vinyl Budgie albums (a band you've never mentioned), but they are so expensive, I did however manage to pick up a best of which is great. The only problem I have with Best of albums is that they are not. Take Queen, all you'll get is the singles, you'll never find Brighton Rock, I'd rather have the albums , Queen have so many brilliant sleeper tracks on their albums, and the same goes for Thin Lizzy, there is no way you cannot have Jailbreak and miss out on Warrior and Emerald, all you will generally get are the singles, more a Greatest Hits than Best of.

On the Beach Boys, I don’t disagree that Pet Sounds is overrated, but they have a lot of albums that no one ever considers or remembers that are quite good. Occasionally I will listen to every album in an artist’s history from start to end. Only on rare occasions is it amazing (e.g. Herbie Hancock). Most of the time, it becomes a total slog (e.g. Rolling Stones). But it’s definitely a way to realize all the hidden gems that you somehow never heard or ignored. Joni Mitchell was quite eye-opening for me. I missed a lot of her albums. And Beach Boys discography was a very interesting and enjoyable listen and there are some definite hidden gems in it. Surf’s Up, Carl & the Passions, Holland, Sunflower.
