Mott the Hoople The Ballad of Mott: A Retrospective
Psychedelic Furs All of This and Nothing
Glittering Prize: Simple Minds 81/92 - The song "Glittering Prize" isn't even on it!

Counter-example: Don't Fear The Reaper: The Best of Blue Öyster Cult - Ever so apropos (reaper: summing up), but it's also their best known song by far.

Split Enz - Spellbound and Crowded House - Recurring Dream, neither of which were actually included as tracks if I remember correctly.

Can we suggest potential ones? I think Pulp's imminent best-of really should be called Razzmatazz, just cos it kinda sums up how i feel about them, and would give an oft-neglected (in the woder public eye at least) song some proper space in the spotlight.

Also, unusually for me, I wouldn't be averse to a timely re-release of said song to promote the album - lovely.
