I hate Palarse
To be honest, I love all of the Motown Chartbusters. I just picked Volume 4 at random.

I would have thought Singles 45s and Under was the better option just for the brilliant album title

The best of Fleetwood Mac, but the original 1960's incarnation. Man of the World, Green Manalishi, Need Your Love so Bad, Albatross.
I recently bought a greatest Hits album of Georgie Fame - going back to the Blue Flames days. They were pretty good
I bought a sampler album of Island Records in 1970 called Bumpers. It was pretty good!

And Greatest Hits albums by Sam Cooke and Al Green often hit the CD player

Well, as C86 and Singles Going Steady have already been mentioned then might I suggest ...

The Doors greatest hits. I have the vinyl and play it from time to time. It's amazing.

This was the album that introduced me to The Monochrome Set and Felt. Also an Atilla contribution. Ok- not the best compilation in the world but at 99p it’s worthy of note.
I used to quite like some of the comp albums that the NME used to give away. Back in the days when they actually taped a CD to the front of the mag. The cover albums could be fantastic. Two of my favourites which still get an airing are Cash covered (johnny Cash) and The Clash covered. Some absolute stormers on there.
I also still pull out The Dirtchamber Sessions every now and again. Track 2 is an absolute BANGER!!!

Even further back in the day they used to tape 7" flexi discs to the front cover of the weekly paper.
One such example

Never really thought of a collection of tunes by the same artist as a compilation. You learn something new everyday!
