So many great albums listed here, I am surprised no one mentioned the most obvious one… Metal Machine Music.
Ha ha...I presume you're joking. Whether or not you love the album, it certainly doesn't play like a greatest hits!

Great list, The Blues.
Except I always thought "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts" was a great song. I do agree about "Sister Morphine".

Sway, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, You Gotta Move and Moonlight Mile are not hit material.
Moonlight Mile is among my favourites, but it doesn't sound like a hit at all.
On Let It Bleed, Love In Vain, Midnight Rambler and Monkey Man are not hits. Good deep cuts, indeed, but not hits.

So true words!
In fact, to me an album that is not a compilation, very seldom plays like an album of greatest hits. The nearest I have come to think that of an album before this, relates to one album only. The UK version of the Beatles' A HARD DAY'S NIGHT.

What is talk about hits? Doesn't that mean that the song, no matter of is 'goodness', has an appeal to make the charts or something? I don't believe there is a hit that never made the charts, no matter how matter 'hit potentiality' we might think it has. In that sense, in terms of reality, I think only that British redhead's album actually qualifies. He filled the UK top ten with all of his album tracks some time ago. Had there've been streaming back in the day surely The Beatles or The Stones would have made the same ages ago.
Honestly, is there really a point comparing a hit to a simply great song? To be some sort of expert in commercial thinking?
I hope not.

I don't even own it, was just the first one that came to mind that while in high school everyone had and played from start to finish.
Then he came out with the "Rock Me Tonight" video and almost ended his career!

Yeah sorry...you can see from my reply to your post that I was just being flippant!
