Archaic Torso of Apollo

I'm thinking about compilations, anthologies, greatest hits and the like. Sometimes they are disparaged by "true fans" (purists) who insist that only complete albums will do. But some of them give a great overview of an artist's or band's work.

My list would include

The Kinks: The Kink Kronikles
Creedence Clearwater Revival: Chronicle (the 20 greatest hits)
Jethro Tull: Living in the Past

I also have a sentimental attachment to the Beatles "Red Album" (1962-66) and "Blue Album" (1967-70), as they are the first Beatles albums I got, and I still have them.

I could also mention Harry Smith's famous folk music anthology, but I haven't listened to it much yet.

I like this one:
"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm" (Churchill).

'The test of a work of art is, in the end, our affection for it, not our ability to explain why it is good' (Stanley Kubrick).
