'Best Of' Mixtapes

[LMP]

I dunno if there's already been a thread like this, and I'm too lazy to look, but I thought it would be cool if you chose one artist (excluding U2) and made a 'Best Of' disc (or discs) about them. If someone already chose an artist you want, who cares, you can do it too.

I'll start off with...

Pink Floyd
Disc 1:
1 // Speak to Me/Breathe
2 // In the Flesh?
3 // Time
4 // Jugband Blues
5 // Sorrow
6 // Lost for Words
7 // Mother
8 // Pigs on the Wing, Part 1
9 // Goodbye Blue Sky
10 // Have a Cigar
11 // Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Parts I-V
12 // The Fletcher Memorial Home
13 // Marooned
14 // When the Tigers Broke Free
15 // Comfortably Numb

Disc 2:
1 // One of These Days
2 // Sheep
3 // Another Brick on the Wall, Pt. 1
4 // The Happiest Days of Our Lives
5 // Another Brick on the Wall, Pt. 2
6 // Money
7 // Free Four
8 // What Shall We Do Now?
9 // Not Now John
10 // Run Like Hell
11 // The Final Cut
12 // Stay
13 // The Gunner's Dream
14 // Us and Them
15 // Brain Damage
16 // Wish You Were Here

I always like these types of threads so I can see what songs I should look for by a particular artist. In fact, threads like this one is how I got into Pink Floyd and Echo & the Bunnymen.
