Greatest Hits (Epic Records, 1995)

One can argue over the consistency of Vaughan's studio albums, but there's no debate over his importance and influence as a guitarist. Greatest Hits distills the best of SRV's too-short career into an eleven-song gale force blast of songs like "Pride and Joy," "Crossfire," and "The House Is Rockin'," as well as forgotten gems like George Harrison's "Taxman" and Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing." Still, no "Voodoo Chile" or "Love Struck Baby" – what's up with that?
