This definitely feels like a best-of playlist for them. Strong choices.
Interestingly, the one song that feels out of place for them, at least among those I've heard, is "Ruby Tuesday." That feels like such a Beatles-esque song compared to their other output - but I like The Beatles as well, so I have no complaints!
