Artists you only know through their greatest hits

I don't understand the... wait a minute! Are you talking compilations? Greatest Hits compilations?! You are actually trying to get someone here to admit to buying a greatest hits compilation? I mean yeah, sure, everyone has some. But I would never admit it! Good God man have you no self-respect??!

None.

Usualy i do get a greatest hits album from an artist for collection purposes only (ok i admit i could like a song or two in there) but not from the bands i love.
