Product Description
Radiohead: The Best Of is a compilation album of English alternative rock band Radiohead. The album features singles, album tracks and one B-side the band released from 1993 to 2003 while with EMI. The first disc, also available separately, comprises the majority of the band's charting hits, while the second disc concentrates on less commercially successful singles and other tracks. All of the material on both discs had been previously released. The sleevenotes for the compilation were written by British music journalist Chris Salmon. As a parallel release, a DVD compilation featured 21 music videos, of which nine were released on DVD for the first time. The compilation debuted at number 4 in the UK album charts, and critical reception to the compilation was generally positive.
This is the first released compilation of Radiohead's songs, but it had not been sanctioned by the band; it was prepared by EMI after the band's departure, and Radiohead band members did not participate in selecting the tracks. Nevertheless, according to interviews the band had major input through their career in the choice of most of their singles that were later included on the compilation. A few non-singles which remain regulars in the band's live sets were also included, such as "Idioteque" and "Everything in Its Right Place" from Kid A, their only album without singles.

The compilatation is good, though there are no never released before songs. Also, some of the most famous tracks are missing (for instance, All I Need). Anyway, I recommend it.

I have all the radiohead albums so I know that they are a great band but i got this album because it comes with all their videos (other that songs off of the album in rainbow) and it contains a b-side. Annoyingly it comes with the video for pop is dead but not just the song.

Seriously, I love Radiohead and the music they write is in a completely different league to anything else everevrveevere BUT I would advise you not to buy this product. I got this about a year ago, and it was great. It definitely has some of their biggest songs..the DVD is also really good, something that I don't think you can get seperately. But I think one of the best things about Radiohead is how they put their albums together. If you listen to Kid A, or Amnesiac, each song leads into the next perfectly. ALthough this album has all of their "greatest hits" it is poorly put together. Please please buy all their albums seperately and listen to them. :D
