Some greatest hits albums are okay. Hank Williams and James Brown were from the singles era. But there's no excuse for listing all those albums by the Byrds or by Simon and Garfunkle, then also including the greatest hits.
It's pretty funny that they include several Grateful Dead albums. Rolling Stone magazine hated the Dead when they were releasing those albums.
