Agreed. Especially since their albums vary in style so much.

Best of albums definitely do work better for "singles" or hits bands... radiohead really aren't that kind of band, more of an albums type band, thusly, people would be best to check their back catalogue of albums, rather than a compilation of single songs of very different styles...

Their discography is too varied for such a representation, and it should surely be put in chronological order to emphasise their growth.

my parents got me this for christmas two years ago when i already have the box set

radiohead's albums are ventures representing the status of the band; i don't think this compilation works. still got some good songs on it, although there's so many good tracks that were left out.

I agree. You can't understand Radiohead without listenening to the albums in full. At least, it's that way for me with In Rainbows, Hail to the Thief, Amnesiac, Kid A, and Ok Computer

I agree. esp. for radiohead since their music is situated where you need to listen to the album all the way through, and not random songs. I tried that with the ipod one day with shuffle... and boy did it kill the flow of radiohead.

I could actually make my own carbon copy of The Best Of... due to the fact I have every Radiohead album! Hurrah!
