The Best “Best Of” Albums
Even in the streaming age, where you can make your own playlist in minutes, there is still something special about ‘Best Of’ albums if they are done well. The golden rule? Avoid “Greatest Hits’ comps that are just a chronological list of singles. Instead, here is a list of top-drawer ‘Best Of’ collections that are brilliant records in their own right. What do you think? What else would you add? Let us know in the comments below.

Creeper: All Albums Ranked
From their origins as the UK’s answer to Alkaline Trio, MCR and AFI, to the grandiose rock opera stylings of ‘Sanguivore’ and ‘Sanguivore II’, Creeper are a fascinating band who are getting bigger and better with every release. We have ranked all their albums and EPs, plus Will Gould’s ‘Salem’ project. Check out the playlist of fan favourites and have your say in the comments!
Green Day: All Albums Ranked
Of course you know ‘Basket Case’, ‘American Idiot’, ‘Good Riddance’, ‘Brain Stew’, ‘Minority’ and ‘Boulevard of Broken Dreams’. But there is so much depth to Green Day’s catalogue which you may not have heard, especially if you include all the connected side projects (The Network, Pinhead Gunpowder, The Longshot and Billie Joe solo). We have reviewed and ranked every Green Day record and side project, and compiled some amazing, lesser-known tracks.
Pennywise: All Albums Ranked
Pennywise are an American punk rock band from California, USA. With Fletcher Dragge on guitar and Jim Lindberg on vocals, Pennywise have released punk albums since the 1990s, including Full Circle, Unknown Road, Straight Ahead and Land of the Free. All Things Rock have reviewed and ranked every Pennywise album for fans of punk rock bands such as Offspring, Bad Religion, Green Day and NOFX
CRIMINALLY Forgotten Albums
There are so many brilliant albums that have been forgotten through the passage of time. In an alternate universe, these records would be revered just as much as ‘Nevermind’, ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ and ‘The Black Album’. All Things Rock have compiled some forgotten gems which you need to hear, from bands such as Kerbdog, Silver Sun, Mansun, No Use For a Name, Set to Stun, My Vitrol, Omar Rodriguez Lopez and Presidents of the USA
The Offspring: All Albums Ranked
The Offspring are one of the most instantly recognisable, iconic punk rock bands of all time. We have undertaken the tricky task of ranking the albums in order, and picking out some key (and lesser-known) tracks. What you do you think?
