I'd say despite their short lived,hit making status,Men At Work and their 3 albums (Business As Usual,Cargo & Two Hearts) are very underrated. The 1st album is a wonderful blend of Jazz,Pop,New Wave,Rock and I'm guessing Raggae (on the hit "Down Under")

Cargo continues in that same vein with a great anti-war statement made with "It's A Mistake". Also like the 1st,there are great moody songs that strangely enough,don't depress you.

Two Hearts is their 1985 LP after two members left. The back up harmony isn't as good but the songs are still listenable. They attempt to take a much stronger sound into their music.

So,instead of wasting $$ on a "Best of" CD,get those 3. It's worth it!
