Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits

More than Cheap Thrills or even Pearl, Greatest Hits has helped keep Janis Joplin's short-lived recording career alive for listeners who came along after her 1970 death. "Me and Bobby McGee" is the biggest draw, of course--it was a posthumous No. 1 single--but the rest is equally exciting. Finally, the cover photo of Janis smiling in a sunny park is as poignant a shot of her as exists.
