Avex is being smart (and evil) by making the first press edition with the 2 dvds: it's the only way to make it marketable to the die-hard fans who must have everything. The intent behind Best collections is to gather up the songs that were most popular (as far as single sales, radio requests, karaoke, and general exposure), not the actual "best" songs. Not the ones that fans like the best. The intent behind making a best album is usually making all the popular stuff available in one place, not exposing casual fans to an artist's best work. It's not meant as a jumping-off point for new listeners who should hear the best examples of an artist's overall sound and artistic ability.
So yeah, that's why Greatful Days is on there and alterna isn't.

You are quite right, and I know this goes a bit off topic with what you are saying, but, we all know that us as fans will have this automatic sense that the musician releases for us, and so, express our disdain, or praise, everytime they release something. This time just happens to be more an expression of our unhappiness.
I also believe that no matter what she would have done, there would be people complaining, the inclusion of fairyland, the exclusion of angel's songs and B&D, why is ourselves here and not there, we would find something, like I said before neverending battle...
You're right about those DVDs too...now I want both
