Greatest Greatest Hits?

But we have to remember that new generational Who fans are appearing
every few years to gobble up current product.  These are people who

Yes, there are a ton o' Greatest Hits packages already.  I am actually mildly 
interested in what the track list for the new one will be (and I will buy it 
regardless).

For some inexplicable reason, I do own Hooligans, Who's Better Who's Best, 
Ultimate Collection, etc., in addition to all of the regular releases.

Sooooo...... What is the best Hits package?  I still think it's Hooligans.  I 
love the early stuff, but to me, too many early singles on a single disc hits 
collection seem to dilute the real power of the band.  I guess I would 
recommend MBB&B and Hooligans together as a "starter kit" for The Who.  

My least favorite is probably WBWB.  Not enough choice 70's tunes and that 
AWFUL edited version of WGFA (US version, anyway).  I cringe when I think of all 
of the casual fans that I know who ONLY own this one......
