Bear in mind, 'Best Of' and 'Greatest Hits' are two totally different things. 'Best Of' allows for more flexibility (i.e., deeper album cuts, live fan favorites, etc). 'Greatest Hits' means pretty much just that -- radio hits.
Also, don't forget to name the artist you're doing. Try to limit the playlist to no more than 15 songs. This is just to try and have some fun and be creative on a Friday.

This is the Stevie Nicks album :~

2) Enchanted
3) I Sing for the Things
4) Whole Lotta Trouble

8) Stand Back {live 1987 - with Fleetwood Mac}
9) Think About It
10) Sometimes It's A *****
11) Juliet
12) If I Were You
13) Love Is Like A River
14) Candlebright
15) Beauty and the Beast
16) Blue Lamp
17) Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You

Alll the best 'Best Of's' are double albums!

Obviously, I have many albums by many groups / artists in my collection, but these are the only two I have felt the need to also make 'Best Of' albums for.
With some artists, if I only like enough songs to make one single or double disc album, I title that as 'Best Of' or 'Very Best Of'.

The Best Of Paul Carrack - Don't Shed A Tear
Compiled By Your Uncle Dodge for Laughing Dolphin Productions
Songs presented in chronological order:
1. Ace - How Long
2. Squeeze - Tempted
3. Paul Carrack - I Need You
4. Mike & The Mechanics - Silent Running (On Dangerous Ground)
5. Paul Carrack - Don't Shed A Tear
6. Paul Carrack - One Good Reason
7. Paul Carrack - Collrane
8. Mike & The Mechanics - The Living Years
9. Mike & The Mechanics - Don't
10. Paul Carrack w/Roger Waters' Bleeding Heart Band - Hey You
11. Mike & The Mechanics - Everybody Gets A Second Chance
12. Mike & The Mechanics - Another Cup Of Coffee
13. Mike & The Mechanics - Over My Shoulder
14. Mike & The Mechanics - The Ghost Of Sex And You
15. Mike & The Mechanics - Web Of Lies
The artist and these songs are picked since this CD/comp may never exist except in my Windows Media Player. The man is simply able to step in and shine on keys or vocals regardless of the talent around him.
I lean heavily with four tracks on the highly underrated "Beggar On A Beach Of Gold" album from Mike & The Mechanics. That whole album somehow got overlooked, with the last recordings of their deceased bandmate Paul Young demonstrative of the excellence.
