There are some excellent musical anthologies around but there also far too many very poor compilations. Following a visit to FOPP this week and a purchase of a Sly and Robbie compilation disc it got me thinking. The music on the disc is excellent although the packaging and short playing time are pretty awful `(less than 35 minutes). It got me thinking that Sly and Robbie with their numerous colloborations and appearances with much of the rock/reggae cognoscenti would benefit from the anthology treatment. Another artist I would love to see anthologised is Steve Earle - the current compilations/best ofs are dreadful and he must have loads of unreleased and rare stuff.

Who would you most like to see on an anthology?
