Artists you only know through their greatest hits


As I was listening to The Stranglers greatest hits the other day, I realized I do not own any other studio album of theirs.

What artist's greatest hits do you own that you absolutely love, but never bothered buying any other music by them?

Tons of my music started out as greatest hits. Especially if you were not alive when the artists first released the music. My first one was the Beatles "Red" album and then "ChangesOne" by Bowie. Last night I was listening to all 3 of Bowie's Berlin albums on Tidal. I think I now have close to 15 Bowie albums on Tidal. I doubt I would have the time or money to have such a collection without streaming and the Greatest Hits as the gateway drug to these artists.

Bob Marley was another. I bought all of his albums after getting "Legend" (which I thought was only OK).
