Never quite sure about best ofs in lists like these. Obviously they’re in because the band never actually did a great album but had loads of good songs. Half of these are covers though, although there are some real gems.

Interesting one.

Whilst the Mamas and the Papas had some absolutely amazing tunes having a best of in a list like this just doesn’t work for me. it’s basically a compilation album so can’t really be stood in comparison to stand alone albums, still there are some great songs on this.

It’s just really nice music, isn’t it? Just makes me smile. Agree that having a best-of is cheating, but this is solid all the way through without being massively exciting.
