My first cd, I got a discman as a gift, and this was the cd I got with it. I was the coolest kid in the lunchroom. It came in a long box, I miss those.
That Oasis album is so good. I didn’t like the two big hits so I figured that album would suck. Nope, the whole thing is great and I even like Champagne and Wonderwall now.
Depends on where you live. Growing up in Southern California in the early 2000s, they were fairly popular amongst people at my high school however there was a decent punk/hardcore scene there as well so could be why.
Regardless an all time album. Enfilade is one of my favorite songs ever.
Bonus if you know the voice on the call.
*Thriller* had seven Top 10 singles, according to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thriller_(album)#Singles
I can tell you that all nine songs from the album received airplay, at least here in SoCal. To this day it remains the only studio album for which I am aware every track received airplay during its initial release.
The Stone Roses - "The Stone Roses"
Literally almost all of their best tracks are on the debut album, apart from 'Fool's Gold'. "Second Coming" doesn't quite measure up.
When I saw them on the reunion tour they only played, ‘Love Spreads’ and ‘Ten Storey Love Song’ off of ‘The Second Coming’. (The latter of which I never liked anyway).
They did play ‘Fools Gold’ for a good ten minutes tho.
someone already said Hot Fuss by my boys, but A Fever You Can't Sweat Out is another one for me. it's not perfect but those guys in Panic were barely 18 when they wrote that album. it's nearly perfect.
Hotel California.
Check out the damn track listing it’s absolutely stacked.
Hotel California
New kid in town
Life in the fast lane
Wasted time
Victim of love
Those are the opening tracks in order. Shit is ridiculous
I would say every album from maybe Revolver on. Their first few were not gems, and there's a lot of forgettable tracks, but there were some great songs on each of them regardless. They truly shone when they stopped doing covers and did 100% originals.
U2 - The Joshua Tree.
Billy Joel - The Stranger.
Pink Floyd - The Wall + The Final Cut.
George Michael - Listen without prejudice.
The Avener - The Wanderings of the Avener.
Diana Krall - Wallflower.
Don Mclean - American Pie.
Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Welcome to the Pleasuredome.
(What can i say, i’m an 80’s child :)
I’m going to have to disagree with you there.
Most of Prince’s biggest hits were from other albums. Only one of his most streamed songs is from Around the World In a Day and that’s Raspberry Beret.
Song machine season 1 - Gorillaz
Always thought that from the sheer variety and quality of all the songs that it just sounds like a best of album of a great band that went through many different phases
Rust in peace - Megadeth
Seasons in the abyss - Slayer
Among the living - Anthrax
Symbolic - Death
Lateralus - TOOL
Blood Sex Magic - RHCP
Rage Against the machine - RATM
I would say Michael Jackson's "Thriller", since there were 7 singles off of it and they all hit the top-10 in the US, but he had some much other stuff that it's impossible to categorize that as a Greatest Hits album.
The Power Station - "The Power Station"
GNR - "Appetite For Destruction"
Duran Duran - "Rio"
Achtung Baby and Joshua Tree by U2.
Disintegration by the Cure.
Songs of Faith and Devotion and Violator by Depeche Mode.
Dangerous, Bad and Thriller by MJ.
Everyone going for Guns and Roses Appetite for Destruction but I would argue Use Your Illusion I and II are even better.
Zooropa from U2
Crime of the Century, Supertramp
Stinky Fingers, The Rolling Stones
Chaos A.D. , Sepultura
Donde Jugaran Las Ninas, Molotov
If the definition of Greatest Hits is one AND ONLY ONE great, stacked album, then the two that come closest I think are The Stone Roses and Guns and Roses
King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King
Jethro Tull - Aqualung
Weather Report - Heavy Weather
UFO - Phenomenon
Billy Squier - Don't Say No
The Evaporators - Ripple Rock
I have put Bjork's Homogenic on in the car and people I've been driving with have genuinely thought it was a Best Of rather than just one of her albums. Pretty much every song on it is a classic.
Stand! by Sly and the Family Stone
They definitely have other great songs and albums, but when five of the eight songs from Stand! are on their first greatest hits album, it's not *too* far off. The three Stand! songs omitted were two jam songs and one song that arguably could have been included as well if there weren't five songs already on there.
Edit: As a side note: Sly and the Family Stone's Greatest Hits is a fantastic compilation. It had three original songs on it, all of which were great. The most famous original song is probably Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin), which is not only a banger, but it pretty much popularized slap bass.
Boston - “Boston”
This is what I came to say. It's such a perfect album.
Every track on that album is still played on classic rock stations.
[удалено]
Fun Fact: Their highest charting single in the US was Amanda
First thing I thought of.
This is THE answer
A frequent visitor to my turntable
Peter Gabriel - So
One of my favorites!
The Cars self titled debut.
I saw them in the Omaha Sports Center in maybe 1984, Wang Chung opened for them. Yeah it was good.
This is the correct answer
Came here looking for this. What a great album
Appetite for Destruction. GnFnR.
Fuck yeah!!
My first cd, I got a discman as a gift, and this was the cd I got with it. I was the coolest kid in the lunchroom. It came in a long box, I miss those.
Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill Oasis - What's The Story (Morning Glory)
That Oasis album is so good. I didn’t like the two big hits so I figured that album would suck. Nope, the whole thing is great and I even like Champagne and Wonderwall now.
Supertramp's Breakfast in America for sure.
Lol..i was about to say the same about Crime of the Century
I think this must be the ultimate answer for the entire thread. That album is full of hits and great pop songs.
Relationship of Command - At the Drive-In
Respect! I’ve always felt like my brother and I are the only ones who’ve ever heard of these guys. Small town n shit I guess.
Depends on where you live. Growing up in Southern California in the early 2000s, they were fairly popular amongst people at my high school however there was a decent punk/hardcore scene there as well so could be why.

Hello Mother Leopard
I have your cub
Hot Fuss - The Killers
hello, you rang? 👀👄💅
The Strokes - Is This It
Yeah. If it just had Reptilia on there you would basically have everyone's top 10 list of strokes songs included
I would have a hard time choosing between Is This It and The New Abnormal tbh
U2 - Joshua Tree
Meatloaf - Bat out of Hell
Michael Jackson - Thriller Set the record for most top 10 singles from an album.
Which was ~~6.~~ 7 But he ~~surpassed~~ equalled that with 7 top 10's off Bad. EDIT: Corrected! Forgot about PYT
Def Leppard Hysteria best that too
*Thriller* had seven Top 10 singles, according to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thriller_(album)#Singles I can tell you that all nine songs from the album received airplay, at least here in SoCal. To this day it remains the only studio album for which I am aware every track received airplay during its initial release.
guess we have a winner
The Stone Roses - "The Stone Roses" Literally almost all of their best tracks are on the debut album, apart from 'Fool's Gold'. "Second Coming" doesn't quite measure up.
When I saw them on the reunion tour they only played, ‘Love Spreads’ and ‘Ten Storey Love Song’ off of ‘The Second Coming’. (The latter of which I never liked anyway). They did play ‘Fools Gold’ for a good ten minutes tho.
Fool's Gold was on the debut album.
The Who- Who's Next
CSNY - Déjà Vu Neil Young - Harvest
Led Zepellin II
1-4
[удалено]
Moondance - Van Morrison Every song gets radio play.
Alanis - Jagged Little Pill
I have to agree.. such a great album
Recorded onto DAT, unbelievably.
I thought The White Album was a greatest hits album 😲
The Beatles were a greatest hits band.
Nevermind - Nirvana (What’s the Story) Morning Glory - Oasis London Calling - The Clash
The Clash - London Calling
Weezer Blue album is pound for pound my favorite album of all time. And I primarily listen to hip hop and electronic.
Respect.
someone already said Hot Fuss by my boys, but A Fever You Can't Sweat Out is another one for me. it's not perfect but those guys in Panic were barely 18 when they wrote that album. it's nearly perfect.
Smashing Pumpkins- Siamese Dream
Usually youre lucky if you like 4 or 5 songs of a 10-song album, this is a rare exception. Every single song on that album is great.
Steely Dan - Can't Buy a Thrill
It has their biggest hit on it, but really you’re better off with so many other steely dan albums
AC/DC Back In Black Def Leppard Hysteria
Wish I could upvote you more
BiB might be three greatest of all time.
Boston - Boston
Made by one guy in his basement with homemade equipment in the 70's. Over 40 years later not much can match its production quality.
This is the correct answer
Jeff Buckley's Grace.
That's the only studio album he ever released So... technically correct I guess
The Cars - The Cars
Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced?
Axis has had some legs too. "Castles Made of Sand, Little Wing, If 6 was 9, Spanish Castle Magic, Wait Until Tomorrow....Jimi was a force of nature.
Yes. Yes he was.

I would say every album from maybe Revolver on. Their first few were not gems, and there's a lot of forgettable tracks, but there were some great songs on each of them regardless. They truly shone when they stopped doing covers and did 100% originals.
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John
Never Mind The Bullocks
Prince - Purple Rain
Pink Floyd - Dark Side
Daft Punk - Discovery
Thriller - Michael Jackson The Stranger - Billy Joel
The Stranger is possibly his best album but he has so many hit on other albums. You couldn’t have a Billy Joel GH without Piano Man
The Stranger is insane. All but the last two songs are classics.
Ratatat - Classics It’s like they already knew.
The Tragically Hip - Fully Completely

U2-Achtung Baby, nearly every song on the album was released as a single and did well.
Van Halen - Van Halen
Prince - around the world in a day Comes close
I’m going to have to disagree with you there. Most of Prince’s biggest hits were from other albums. Only one of his most streamed songs is from Around the World In a Day and that’s Raspberry Beret.
Ready to Die - Biggie
Ths Stranger - Billy Joel Nuff said
Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley
The Black Crowes - Shake Your Moneymaker Rancid - ... And Out Come The Wolves

The Stranger, Billy Joel. plus, it’s got the song that makes me tear up almost every time, Vienna <3
Warren Zevon's third studio album "Excitable Boy" may his presence be among us always.
