Bon Jovi - Cross Road

There is an art to compiling a good “best of”.  I feel there’s a balance in being comprehensive, but not going too much into the weeds.  If you really want to get into an artist, you can just listen to all their albums.  So, a good “best of” really just needs to be a sampler.  It’s about putting your best foot forward.  I think Cross Road does a pretty good job of this.  In fact, some might say it does too good a job.  One would argue that you don’t really need another Bon Jovi album aside from this one (some would say you don’t even need this one…).  This distils all of the hits into one package.
