Playlist: The Very Best of Santana

by Santana

Overview

This 2015 budget-line compilation samples from nearly all of Santana's phases, save his jazzier excursions from the late '70s. This means it has the songs that you know from the radio, whether it's "Oye Como Va," "Black Magic Woman," and "Evil Ways" or "Smooth," "Maria, Maria," and "The Game of Love," and that's enough to make it a useful little hits compilation for the casual fan. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
