Well, that was a lot harder than I thought it would be. It was especially painful to leave so many great songs off. Thankfully, in the real world, greatest hits albums can have more than 10 tracks. Still, this was kinda fun!

Offline After the Beatles (& solo) i’d struggle if it had to be greatest hits as either most bands best tracks aren’t their hits or i’d struggle to get to 10.
And @sgtpepper63 why do three Beatle tracks appear on Paul’s? His solo career can easily get to 10 without having to be propped up by the works he did in the 60’s.

Reminds of George’s first “best of” comp, @meanmistermustard, the one where EMI included a side of Beatles recordings and a side of solo.
Agree this would be better if this was a “best of” rather than “greatest hits”. And much as the 10 by 10 has a nice aesthetic, I hate wasting space and I would never compile anything less than a roughly eighty-minute playlist. I’ve gotten used to compiling playlists that can fill a CD if burnt.

Yeah, George hated that and for justified reason.
I’m the same with playlists and that they should be as filled to capacity as possible whilst resembling CD length.
Just remembered that the ‘Let It Roll’ compilation did the same by needlessly including ‘Something ‘, ‘Here Comes The Sun ‘ and ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps ‘ from the Concert for Bangladesh. George’s solo output can easily stand up for itself without scampering back to the 60’s and the same can be said for John, Paul and even Ringo so there is no need to go back to their time in the Beatles.

To be honest with you, there are three reasons:
1. To fit some tracks I couldn’t fit with The Beatles
2. I don’t really listen to the solo Beatles, mainly because I landslidingly prefer them as a group and by the time the group said The End and decided to Get Back to not being a band, I was interested in other stuff, mainly the hard rock/heavy metal of Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin
3. If I went to see Paul McCartney live and he played 25 solo songs and only 5 Beatles songs, I’d be pissed

Some great choices there, though i’ll admit that separating individual tracks from Dark Side Of The Moon would be a challenge, as the whole album is just 2 meldeys that flow perfectly from song to song (similar to the Abbey Road Medley). Also, any particular reason why you didn’t choose Don’t Stop for Fleetwood Mac or is it just you sacrificing song to condense to 10 tracks.

@sgtpepper63
It’s not that I don’t like Don’t Stop (I do), but it’s far from my favorite song from Rumours (The production with all the strings and stuff is a little too 70’s for me). Also, I didn’t want to focus too much on Rumours. I attempted to spread it out across their whole career. Hence why two of Peter Green’s songs are on there.

I don’t blame you because some bands either have way more than 10 hits worthy of a greatest hits album (The Beatles), whereas others only have 3 or so songs that are popular enough to be on the radio (Slayer)

I wonder why none of the other Beatles did that because I really like that. It’d be especially cool if they mixed Beatles and solo songs from all 4 members and put a concept in front of it (similar to Across The Universe , but hopefully it won’t make me want to throw up and make my ears bleed like said movie did).

This reminds me of when I once decided to calculate how many 120 min discs it would take to put the entire Beatles US discography on, here’s the results:
Disc 1:
Meet The Beatles
The Beatles Second Album
Something New
Beatles 65′
Disc 2:

Those guys who did songs such as Raining Blood, Chemical Warfare, and a mediocre cover of the 1967 Iron Butterfly classic In A Gadda Da Vida. They’re a heavy metal band form the 80’s, similar to Metallica except very satanic.

That’ll be why I’ve never heard of them. Never heard of Iron Butterfly either.

It’s unfortunate that you didn’t get to experience the 60’s like I did. This song was one of my favorites when it first came out (along with Wouldn’t It Be Nice, She’s A Rainbow, Batman, and anything by The Beatles)
