Compile a 'Best of . . . ' for your favourite band

[Big Ears]

Compile a 'Best of . . . ' for your favourite band/artist. It does not have to be a 'Greatest Hits'.

I'll start with:

The Best of Emerson, Lake and Palmer

Knife Edge 5:04 (Emerson, Lake and Palmer)
Infinite Space (Conclusion) 3:18 (Tarkus)
A Time and a Place 3:00 (Tarkus)
The Great Gates of Kiev/The End 6:37 (Pictures at an Exhibition)
Trilogy 8:54 (Trilogy)
Living Sin 3:11 (Trilogy)
Jerusalem 2:44 (Brain Salad Surgery)
Karn Evil 9 1st, 2nd & 3rd Impression 29:41 (Brain Salad Surgery)
Pirates 13:19 (Works Vol 1)
I Believe in Father Christmas 3:17 (Works Vol 2)
For You 4:28 (Love Beach)
Memoirs of an Officer and a Gentleman: Letters from the Front 5:20 (Love Beach)
Black Moon 6:56 (Black Moon)

I've tried to represent all of Emerson, Lake and Palmer's studio albums, except the last, In the Hot Seat. There are no live tracks, as it would've led to repetition. Associated bands like ELPowell and Three (with Robert Berry) are not represented. There is only one hit single and I've ignored the opinion of everybody else.
