The effects of rockism on compilations

So my question is ...

How many artist compilations do you think have been affected by rockism to the extent that great songs have been left off in favor of canonized favorites? Are new compilations that attempt to offer a view of all the artist's work going to be necessary? I can't think of any examples, but I'm certain there are artists whose "classic" works have been compiled, but later works rejected because they were deemed to "pop" by the rockist rock-compilers of the time.

You could argue that rockism in compilations is best manifested in box sets. and perhaps least represented in a singles compilation. completism over sketch

Because compilations in themselves are kind of non-rockist. it would be more rockist to approach a bands ouevre from the first record and move chronologically, rather than to get the career overview on a single disc thing

not rockist = rubble. rockist = mojo's "acid daze"

'Pop' comps usually are accused of being rip-offs. Like when the AC/DC box had a re-issue of 'Back in Black' in it

Stop worrying about 'rockism'. Don't you know people are going to bed hungry?
