..."Roll Right Stones" from "Shootout At The Fantasy Factory."

I guess that's why God made mix CDs.

1. I agree that's one of Traffic's finer tunes.
But when a band puts out as much really good stuff as Traffic did, any "best of" compilation will necessarily leave something great off.

Pink Floyd released two greatest hits/best of compilations: A Collection of Great Dance Songs, and Echoes. Echoes is much longer, much more complete, but doesn't contain one of the early tunes I like best, Let There Be More Light. It includes a couple really lousy post-Waters era tunes, though.

Every compilation album, I think, save perhaps Neil Young's Decade, has something one could argue about.
