Just found and ordered a copy of Uriah Heep's The Ultimate Collection. I'd put it on my Amazon wish lists a short while ago and a used copy in great shape just came up for $7.58 Cdn.
This collection has 34 remastered tracks and was released in 2003. I had noticed that I only have The Best of and The Magician's Birthday on CD, and together those two only have 14 unique songs. I also have the vinyl edition of The Best of, Volume 2, but that only contains an additional 5 songs that I don't have on CD - albeit, it does have one of my favourites "Salisbury" which, to my disappointment, is not on the set I just ordered.

I'm not generally much into pop/rock, especially 80's stuff, but there are exceptions. Almost forgot how good some of this stuff is:
It struck me when listening to this today, how good some of the writing and performance is in a lot of these "hits" of hers. (I just read that the lead guitarist through most of her career is actually her husband.) In particular, this would have to rank in the top 5 "pop" (using that term loosely here) songs of all time for me, man I love this song:

Funny though, despite the millions of times I've listened to this, I still have no fucking idea what the song is actually about.

Best Shots is good and the one that gets the most play if I listen to any Pat Benetar, only because it is a Best Of.
I don't care as much for her poppy'er stuff from the late 80's but if you go back to In the Heat of the Night and Crimes of Passion, especially in the Heat of the night, her shit was raw and rocked.

Streaming this at work. Looked up the album on wikipedia and read this below.
The album's title came from lead singer Sammy Hagar, who wanted to push the issue of censorship with naming Van Halen's album with a vulgarity, stating, "That's when censorship was a big issue. I wanted to name the album just Fuck."[1] Hagar eventually backed away from the outright vulgarity after he was told by his friend, former world lightweight boxing champion Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini, that the word "fuck" was an acronym for the phrase "for unlawful carnal knowledge" (though this is a false etymology).[1][2][3] Their tour promoting the album was unofficially named F.U.C.K. 'n' Live. Prior to recording, the term "for unlawful carnal knowledge" was first used by the band Coven as a track on their album Witchcraft Destroys Minds & Reaps Souls in 1969.

KXM Scatterbrain, released on March 17, 2017, is the second studio album by band KXM, a rock band formed in 2013 featuring former King's X bassist and vocalist Doug Pinnick, former Dokken and Lynch Mob guitarist George Lynch and former Korn drummer Ray Luzier.
Eddie Trunk was just talking about that band the other day on the radio and he said that they have never toured and probably won't. He was basically talking about how the music industry has changed and how all of these artists have multiple projects but they can't to her because they don't get enough of a following. He also said the band was pretty good he said the records were good.
