In general i stay well clear of compilation albums. Personally i like to just start at the beginning of a discography and work through it. However, of course sometimes i do look at an artists back catalogue and the sheer size of it and just opt for a compilation to get me started.
I think they have their purpose for sure. My main problem isnt with the compilation itself but for those people who get a greatest hits and then judge a band, never hearing one complete album.
