Subject: Your favourite greatest hits albums by 80's artists

What are your favourite greatest hits albums released by 80's artists?  Does not have to be an 80's album

I like Bob Seger's greatest Hits, U2 The Best of 1980-1990, and Rock and Soul Part 1 by Hall and Oates to name a few :)

Im not sure if this counts, but I like Brian Ferry and Roxy Music's Ultimate Collection. It came out in 1987/88 and although it has many 70's songs, it also featuures a number of 80's songs as well, such as their version of Jealous Guy from 1980.


I also like Michael Jackson's Essential Collection and The Jacksons Essential Collection.

The Best of Big Country (1995)
If you didn't know there was more to them than 'In A Big Country', please pick up a copy of this.  You won't be disappointed!

Ultravox - The Collection (1984)
Includes everything you want from the Ure-era Ultravox.  Yes, everything.  Their last studio album after this U-Vox in 1986 was not too good

Good Vibes:  The Very Best of Laid Back (2008)
A 1995 compilation they had titled 'Laidest Greatest' (Not the best title, btw) didn't have all the goodies included in here, such as the wonderful 1983 single 'High Society Girl'.  This collection also includes a 2nd bonus disc of remixes
