Quick take
Choosing among greatest-hits music CDs comes down to more than picking a familiar artist. Here, the clearest dividing lines are whether you want a Brand New two-CD Richard Marx collection, an Elton John title with or without a named 1970-2002 span, or a Queen compilation identified as Rock. Condition also separates the Richard Marx set from the three Good-condition CDs.
The Richard Marx collection is the defined choice for a 27-track, two-CD package. Elton John offers two different title approaches: Greatest Hits for the straightforward compilation name, or Greatest Hits 1970-2002 when that period is part of the appeal. Queen's Greatest Hits is the direct pick for a Queen Rock CD.

Decision matrix
- Want the most explicitly defined package: Choose Richard Marx if two CDs and 27 tracks matter more than selecting a particular Elton John or Queen title.
- Choosing between the Elton John CDs: Select Greatest Hits for its direct compilation title, or choose Greatest Hits 1970-2002 when the named time span is your deciding detail.
- Prioritizing condition: The Richard Marx release is listed as Brand New. The Elton John and Queen CDs are each listed in Good condition.
- Shopping by artist and genre wording: Queen is the focused option for a Rock release, while the Elton John 1970-2002 CD carries Rock, Glam Rock, and Rock & Pop genre wording.
Product notes
Richard Marx, New 2 CDS, Stories to Tell Greatest Hits Best Of 27 Tracks
Choose this Richard Marx set when a named two-CD collection with 27 tracks is the goal. Its Brand New condition and Gate Fold with 2 CDS case type make it the most specifically described physical package in this comparison. It is also positioned around a Richard Marx best-of collection rather than a single-artist Elton John or Queen disc. At USD 12.88, it is the highest listed-price choice here. The limitation is its focused artist selection: it will not suit a shopper whose priority is an Elton John or Queen greatest-hits CD.
Elton John - Greatest Hits - Audio CD By Elton John - GOOD
This is the natural starting point for someone seeking an Elton John CD titled simply Greatest Hits. It is listed as a Good-condition CD, and USD 5.48 is the lowest listed price among the four choices. That makes the decision especially straightforward if the plain compilation title is more important than a specified career period. Its limitation is the title's narrower framing compared with the separate Elton John release explicitly labeled Greatest Hits 1970-2002. Choose this one for the direct Elton John greatest-hits option rather than the named 1970-2002 collection.
Elton John - Greatest Hits 1970-2002 - Audio CD By Elton John - GOOD
Pick Elton John - Greatest Hits 1970-2002 if having the 1970-2002 period printed in the title is important to your selection. This Good-condition CD is credited to Elton John and is associated with Rock, Glam Rock, and Rock & Pop. Its USD 5.98 listed price places it alongside Queen's CD rather than the Richard Marx two-CD set. The trade-off is condition: it is listed as Good rather than Brand New. It is the better Elton John choice when the title-specific period matters more than the simpler Greatest Hits naming.
Queen - Greatest Hits - Audio CD By Queen - GOOD
Queen's Greatest Hits fits a shopper who wants Queen specifically and values the Rock genre designation. It is a Good-condition CD with the release title Queen - Greatest Hits, giving it a clear artist-and-genre identity beside the two Elton John choices and the Richard Marx set. The listed price is USD 5.98. Its limitation is the same Good condition shared by the Elton John CDs, rather than the Brand New condition attached to the Richard Marx release. Choose it for a Queen Rock compilation, not for the named Elton John 1970-2002 span or Richard Marx's two-CD, 27-track package.
Final recommendation by use case
- For a Brand New, 27-track two-CD collection: Richard Marx, New 2 CDS, Stories to Tell Greatest Hits Best Of 27 Tracks.
- For the direct Elton John greatest-hits title: Elton John - Greatest Hits - Audio CD By Elton John - GOOD.
- For an Elton John CD identified with a 1970-2002 span: Elton John - Greatest Hits 1970-2002 - Audio CD By Elton John - GOOD.
- For a Queen Rock greatest-hits CD: Queen - Greatest Hits - Audio CD By Queen - GOOD.
