Well, great thread by the Swine. Since I don't think I can come up with any METAL that you guys ain't already mentioned, and since SIXX said the point was to get people into new music...here are a few BEST OF's that are sure to put a smile on your face, a boner in your shorts, and a trip into the center of Uncle Ted's mind!!!!!!

JIMMY BUFFETT - Songs You Know By Heart - all the Buffett anybody really needs..and you DO need it, by Crikey!

DWIGHT YOAKAM - Just Lookin' For A Hit - all his best of "old school" stuff!

TED NUGENT - Great Gonzos - would be perfect if it only had "Great White Buffalo"

RUSH - Spirit of Radio

STEVE EARLE - The Essential - sorry Greeno, the 80's stuff is his best IMO, especially Guitar Town!

SOCIAL DISTORTION - Live @ The Roxy

ROLLING STONES - 40 Licks

ROGER MILLER - King of the Road

and as a funny sidenote, my buddy once said, when I told him, "Hey, did you know that GNR has a greatest hits?!?"
"Yeah..", he said, "It's called APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION". I thought that was funny as hell....

ROLLING STONES - 40 Licks

Thanks for remind me Ted The Rolling Stones "Hot Rocks 1 & 2", that is a way cool compilation of their early material.

I'll never understand why people like Jimmy Buffett... unless they need an excuse to drink margaritas.

Pantera - Reinventing Hell - It contains "The Badge", from The Crow soundtrack
Dio - Stand Up and Shout - The Anthology
Van Halen - Best of Vol II

For me the Rainbow Anthology has the best of both worlds with the heavier Dio rainbow and the more commercial sounding 80s rainbow on 2 discs. I bring that wherever i go. Also the Saxon heavy Metal thunder is a great introduction of some of the bands best hits rerecorded with a more powerful heavy sound. I also love Dios beast of Dio, the Crues decade of decadence, UFO essential,The very best of Judas Priest, Kiss alive 1 and alive 3.Led Zeps remastersand Marillions thieving magpie live disc ..Im a Huge maiden fan but too many great songs are missing from Edward the Great and Best of the Beast to include it

Van Halen's Best Of Vol. #1
Megadeth's Capitol Punishment (I think this is now OOP though)
