Breakdown: Best of 1986 and Greatest Hits have "Quickie," while Best of 2000 does not.
Best of 2000 has these unique tracks:
"Get Dressed" (from Computer Games)
"Bullet Proof" (from Some of My Best Jokes)
"Atomic Dog (Dogs of the World Unite Remix)"
Greatest Hits has these unique tracks:
"Loopzilla (Broadcast Version)" (half song from Computer Games)
"Cool Joe" (from R&B Skeletons)
"Dog Talk" (1983 single by K-9 Corp)
"Let's Take It to the Stage/Do That Stuff (Medley) (Edit)" (not sure where this is from)
Ignoring the "Atomic Dog" remix on Best of 2000, the Best of 1986 gets you nothing if you have the first four solo albums, and Best of 2000 gets you 2 extra songs from that same run. Greatest Hits gets you 4 extra songs, two from the original run, and two extras. The live medley is forgettable, and "Dog Talk" is just yet another "Atomic Dog" riff. I listened to the 4 extra songs alone, and the whole Greatest Hits. The original Best of has not been improved upon, unless you want to get the CD-era Best of with two extra songs from the original run. In fact, with the first four, I don't want either of these options, although I'm tempted by a vinyl copy of the 1986 Best of. Or even one of the original CDs for some reason.
