OK, so greatest hits collections for some of our favourite bands are a dime a dozen, but no-one ever quite gets it right. Those of you with long memories and high boredom thresholds already know my thoughts on the perfect KISS and Maiden best-ofs, so here's a couple more:
DEEP PURPLE
Disc 1 (1968-1973)
1. Hush
2. Kentucky Woman
3. Hallelujah (I Am The Preacher)
4. Black Night
5. Speed King
6. Child In Time
7. Strange Kind of Woman
8. Fireball
9. Demon's Eye
10. Highway Star
11. Never Before
12. Smoke on The Water
13. Woman From Tokyo
Disc 2 (1974-1998)
1. Burn
2. Might Just Take Your Life
3. Stormbringer
4. You Keep On Moving
5. Knocking At Your Back Door
6. Perfect Strangers
7. Bad Attitude
8. Call of The Wild
9. King of Dreams
10. The Battle Rages On
11. Anya
12. Castle Full of Rascals
13. Seventh Heaven
BLACK SABBATH (Warner Bros years)
Disc 1 (1970-1975)
1. Black Sabbath
2. The Wizard
3. NIB
4. War Pigs
5. Paranoid
6. Iron Man
7. Children of the Grave
8. Into The Void
9. Tomorrow's Dream
10. Changes
11. Snowblind
12. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
13. Killing Yourself To Live
14. Hole In The Sky
15. Symptom of the Universe
16. Am I Going Insane?
Disc 2 (1976-1987)
1. Dirty Women
2. Never Say Die
3. Neon Knights
4. Children of the Sea
5. Heaven and Hell
6. Die Young
7. Turn up the Night
8. Sign of The Southern Cross
9. Mob Rules
10. Trashed
11. The Dark/Zero The Hero
12. Seventh Star
13. No Stranger to Love
14. The Shining
Each of these double discs would come packaged with full lyrics, comprehensive liner notes and band photos from all eras.
Any thoughts on these or other compilations you'd release if you were in charge? I reckon The Ozzman Cometh needs a bit of revision, but I don't know enough about solo Ozzy to do it myself.
And yes, before anyone asks, I'm most dreadfully bored today
