The Greatest Hits is the first compilation album by Cheap Trick. It contains many of Cheap's Trick's popular songs, as well as a previously unreleased cover version of The Beatles' "Magical Mystery Tour". Though it peaked at only #174 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, it remained a steady seller, and was certified platinum for one million U.S. sales seven years after its release.

Considered obsolete by some fans as succeeding compilations contain almost all of the songs in this album, it was nonetheless re-released in 2003, in a re-mastered edition with the strange addition of "Clock Strikes Ten".
