Best of the Best Ofs

What are your favorite "Best Of"/"Greatest Hits" albums? Some seem to have been released at the wane of popularity of the artist(s) to earn a few last bucks. Some artist(s) have mutliple "Best Ofs", each with a few hits and some decided "also-rans". Still others are packed with keepers from one side to the next. Which best is best in your collection?

I think the classic "best of" albums would be:
1. Simon and Garfunkle's greatest hits
2. Elton John's greatest hits (the original not vol 2)
3. ditto on the Young Person's guide (KK)
4. Best of the Doobies
5. The Eagle's greatest hits (I had this on green vinyl UK import
6. A decade of Steely Dan
It seems these were the ubiquitous records everybody had
