Although I can't stand the Smiths or the Cure otherwise that's a pretty decent list. In a few cases I really like the artist but can think of a better best of album from them;
The Doors - They never made it to cd but 1970's 13 and 1972's Weird Scenes Inside the Goldmine are excellent compilations and no material is repeated between the two albums.
There was a really good 2 cd best of on Rhino a few years back too called Legacy.
I wasn't that impressed by the Pink Floyd Echoes best of, I think people are better off buying the regular albums. 1971's Relics and 1981's A Collection of Great Dance Songs are better chosen best ofs.
I don't think the Beatles' 1 was programmed well either, too much Paul led stuff in the second half. The Red and Blue albums are better best ofs in my opinion.
The Who's Meaty Beaty... is a top notch collection, rounding up the group's early, mostly non album singles. The 2 cd Ultimate Collection is a great best of that focuses on a wider time span. 1983's Greatest Hits and 2004's Then and Now are good for career spanning one disc best ofs.
I don't think I saw any of the Stones' best ofs on there. I recommend The Singles Collection London Years, Hot Rocks 1 and 2, Rewind or Jump Back over 40 Licks.
