Sure, but you're still thinking in terms of one band. I'm talking about getting a few tracks --- two, three, maybe four --- from a number of artistes, so that you can get into (or not) several bands at once. If you go down the greatest hits route, you need to buy, say three albums from bands you may or may not end up liking.
In my case: I would have to buy Tool's greatest hits, King Crimson's greatest hits and Pain of Salvation's greatest hits at the least, in order to get into these three bands, using your suggestion. Assuming all these bands have greatest hits albums: not every one does. Or I could ask someone to put together the three or four tracks that best represent these bands, in one comp, so that I can listen and judge, see if it's worth going further.
Look, this wasn't meant to be, as Basil Fawlty once declared, a proposal from Lichtenstein. I thought it was fairly self-explanatory. But if no-one's interested then fine, I just thought it would be an idea. Maybe it won't fly. No big deal.
I'm still available though if anyone wants to take up the offer.
