Yep, we obviously used very similar logic

English is obviously not my first language so help me out here please. Is a cross road and a crossroad the same? When I search dictionaries I can't find a cross road, only a crossroad without the space. Does it have any special meaning or difference compared to the one-word version?
You write about something different. A crossroads is the intersection where a crossroad crosses the main road, isn't it?
So if the name of the album were Crossroads, it would mean they came up to a place where they're choosing what way to go.
If the name is Crossroad, it means that they turned away from the main road to the crossroad, so they've already chosen
I kinda get the meaning behind but it would make more sense if These Days were called Crossroad than the compilation.
The best name for a compilation would be Crossroads meaning the crossroads in their career.

I do like your track list for a Disc 2 and I think if Cross Road we’re to have been a double album instead of, or as well as, what was released, your track list would have pretty much been it.
When talking about this, I can’t help but think of Def Leppard’s 2004 Best Of album which the single disc version was the hits, then the 2CD version where the 2nd disc had not-so-hit singles and album tracks. But that was 25 years/10 albums into their career, which then brings me back to the argument of why Cross Road only ever needed to be one disc.

That's fine
as I've mentioned before, I'm happy that a debate was started
Even though some crucial tracks were missing (BTBMB, Living In Sin, ITA and NSG on US version), they didn't have enough material for a double-disc of just singles or hits. But my list shows that it could have been possible to make one to present the band to the public.
I know what you're talking about mentioning Def Leppard. I've also made my tracklists using that logic which I think is the best one. I've got one double-disc for 1984-1995 and one for (1997)2000 - 2013. I'm wondering if I should start a new topic or put it there
