Groovies' Greatest Grooves is a 1989 compilation album by U.S. rock band the Flamin' Groovies, originally released by Sire Records. The tracks were selected by Rolling Stone Senior Writer Michael Goldberg and freelance rock critic Michael Snyder, who also co-wrote the liner notes. Goldberg and Snyder wanted to emphasize the Groovies' original material. It collected tracks from throughout the group's career, and showcased their versatility and changing styles throughout the years. Having said that, it draws heavily from their final 3 albums, with 20 of the songs from those records. It is notable for being one of the few CDs released in the CD+G format.
