Top 500: 61. Sly & the Family Stone Greatest Hits

Maybe one of the best greatest hits collections ever. I have talked about greatest hits albums before. This is one of the ones that will always be around. It stands as an album on its on. It's not just a disjointed collection of great songs that don't fit. The main reason for this is the timing. It came out right before "There's a Riot Goin On" Had it come out after that album, this would have been a mess of a greatest hits album. This pulls the happiest most uplifting and unifying tracks of Sly's carrer. Before he became disgruntled, bitter and strung out.
