The Collection is a compilation album (comprising several singles as well as b-sides) by the English band Cast, released in 2004. The release has been criticised for the notable omission of some of the band's best known tracks, such as "Walkaway", "Sandstorm" and "Guiding Star", which were all top 10 hits.
