When I really started listening to Stevie Wonder it was through a "Definitive Collection" CD, then I branched out and listened to his albums. Greatest hits albums are never enough for me, usually. I always love the deep cuts. And with Stevie it's all gold.
Steve Miller Band is a definite for me! Had that as long as I can remember. Also a +1 for James Taylor. I’d probably add another three to the list: Abba, America, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. I owned all three and never had another album by any of those artists.
The CCR one has to be one of the best. I must have listened to that Steve Miller greatest hits 5000 times, but it’s weird how Ive never really cared to go see him live.
I guess for me the question is whether you miss anything important about a band of you only listen to the GH and not the albums. In that light, for me it would be: Billy Joel, The Doors, CCR.
Who Are Your "Greatest Hits" Kinda Bands?
Bob Marley & The Wailers- Legend
Linda Ronstadt- Greatest Hits
Al Green - Greatest Hits
I’ve listened to James Taylor’s greatest hits album more times than I could ever count.

The Eagles are a no-brainer. I love their entire catalog, but in general, you can’t go wrong with the greatest hits.
RUSH CHRONICLES hahaha but for real. Yes. Rush Chronicles.
Queen's Greatest Hits is a great one. Everything mentioned so far is in my collection. I've worn out the Eagles and James Taylor have been worn out.

As you have all of my LP's, I am sure you have quite a few of 'greatest hit albums.' ;)
