Our hope in shining a light on this quintet of songs is that it may prompt at least a few hits collection junkies to dig just a bit deeper and discover even more to love about the artists in question. Hence why we’ve decided to identify five worthy songs that were conspicuously left off the final running order of familiar hits packages. The problem with this, however, is that these so-called perfect encapsulations of an artist’s recorded repertoire are invariably imperfect and incomplete, with plenty of gaps to be found in their track listings. It’s a helluva lot easier-and we suppose less risky for many-to simply skip the time-consuming exploratory work, in favor of embracing one consolidated sequence of an artist’s most successful or important songs. Not everyone has the appetite or the financial wherewithal to seek out and stock up on the multiple entries that span an artist’s studio discography. In our experience, most of them are dubious propositions, necessary evils to some extent. If there’s one type of album that we’re not particularly fond of, it’s those massively popular “Greatest Hits” and “Best Of” compilations. Indeed, we celebrate albums of all stripes, all genres, all time periods, and all formats. Editor’s Note: By our name alone, one can easily deduce what we’re all about here at Albumism.
