This wonderful hits collection confirms this folk-rock-harmony group's wide range of gifts. Among them: the jaunty birth-of-a-band humor in "Creeque Alley," the brassy pop of "I Saw Her Again" and the tenderness of the ode to teen runaways, "Twelve-Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming to the Canyon)."

Total album sales: 300,000

Peak chart position: N/A

Next: Robert Johnson
