Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
Thriller - Michael Jackson
Patience - George Michael
Look Sharp! - Roxette
What's the Story (Morning Glory) - Oasis

On the subject of Greatest Hits collections, my five would be :-

Abba - The Singles 1972-1981 (vinyl, 5LP box-set)
Familiar to Millions - Oasis (OK, not strictly a greatest hits)
Greatest Hits 1970-2002 - Elton John
Ladies & Gentlemen - George Michael
Singles 1980-2000 - U2

Let it Be - The Beatles - a sparse and raw look at a band falling apart.

An Innocent Man - Billy Joel - just a truly terrific album

White Ladder - David Gray - adds new meaning to the phrase "Get Down", don't listen to it more than twice in one day without calling the Samaritans first

Bat Out Of Hell - Meatloaf and Steinman - Meatloaf only ever cut it when Steinman wrote for him and this album has the most stupendous opening/title track in the whole history of history itself, ever, probably.

Swing When You're Winning - Robbie Williams - okay he doesn't have the voice of Sinatra et al, but he knows how to put on a show, and more importantly have fun doing it in an arrogant jumped up little twat kind of way.

As for greatest hits albums the five I would go for would be

The Rolling Stones
Abba
The Bee Gees
REM
John Denver

Honorable mentions in both departments would go to Guns and Roses, John Lennon, Travelling Wilburys, Elton John, Jimi Hendrix, Marc Bolan/T Rex, Led Zepplin, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Fleetwood Mac, U2, Police...the list goes on

Don't some of you people read instructions!!!

No Queen and only five (not the band)!!!

I bet some of you folks assemble MFI bookcases with the shelves running vertically.

Mind you knowing MFI they're probably designed like that.
