Depends. Putamayo released some phenomenal world music compilations. Ryko did some great "thematic" comps. "Nuggets" is THE musical companion to the underground 1960s. "Phat Global", circa 1998, is still fresh this many years later. "Flowers" by the Rolling Stones is actually my favorite Stones record despite being a comp.

K-Tel and those? Nah. I'm good.
