This actually surprised me...im not a big fan of radiohead but after listening to this it got me hooked

Looks like a good compilation of some of their best songs - I won't be buying it though, as big a fan of the band as I am... but I have every single track on the darn thing! I could copy the playlist from somewhere online (even this very forum!) and burn my own copy for free...

Plus I've never been a big fan of "best of" albums, particularly ones released by a band's former record company...

Will not buy ever.

Uh, I respect that you feel that way, but do you want to explain why you'll never buy it... any reason is acceptible! And it really would make it worthwhile reading your post if you gave a reason why...

It's horribly predictable, and as a Radiohead fangirl I already have all of their albums.

But musically and as a best of it's spot on. Awesome.

wolverine - thanks for the clarification! I am much the same - I don't see much point in it for me personally because I already have all their albums - but piss me off is kinda right too - if you're looking for a good best of compilation of a great band, its spot on. It's the kind of best of compilation that would most likely lead people to their other albums, and that would be a good thing!

In my opinion, people would more likely be interested after listening to The Bends or In Rainbows as opposed to this compilation. The song selection is fine and all, I just feel that Radiohead doesn't work as well as a 'singles' kind of band.
