Sorry Matey, no can do. My CD drive's been toast for a while now and all my stuff is on CD. Here's 25 great ones (not on your best of comp) from his most iconic era, 1980-89. I bet Marky has all this stuff and could do you a comp.matedog wrote:Hey muppet, any chance you could upload a mix of like second tier Greatest Hits?

I kept my list to mostly uptempo/rockers, just cuz.
I didn't list anything from the brilliant but hard to find 'Black Album' (1988), cuz it's so hard to get it may as well not exist outside of it's myth.
If you want a more complete "hits" set, the 3 disc 'The Hits/B-sides' is excellent and goes up to '93. Frankly, the b-sides disc is worth the price alone - the dude had more truly great b-sides from his '81-'89 run than anyone I can think of, including my other fave artists.
