While both discs contain great tracks, disc 2 has more of Pink Floyd's better known hits.

Disc 2, although there's not a lot in it. Disc 1 has more good songs but disc 2 has better good songs.

The whole idea of mixed up PF songs feels anti-PF, doesn't it?

I agree with Tommy a bit actually, it really isn't a particularly good best off.

Still, it would be impossible to make a perfect Pink Floyd best off anyway so i suppose it's a fir enough attempt.
