Product Description

CD Description

Collecting some of the best-loved cuts from the band's tenure with Parlophone records, this celebration of Radiohead isthe ideal place for the novice to begin. In no way chronologically or progressively structured, this 'Best Of' containssingles and the more popular album tracks, mostly from the band's first three albums. Material from the second three albums recorded for Parlophone feature less, but notable favourites such as 'Idioteque' and '2+2=5' are worthy inclusions.Monster singles 'Just', 'Paranoid Android' and 'Street Spirit' will be familiar to most, and are prime examples of Radiohead's early/mid period sound. The second disc focuses on later, more left-field material, and includes a live version of 'True Love Waits'.

5.0 out of 5 stars I thought amazon music reviews were supposed to be about the music, 15 May 2008
By D. M. Clarkson (Bradford,England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Personally I don't do compilations and I agree that they are not suited to most of Radiohead's music anyway, since every album after 'The Bends' has had its own concept. You could ask 10,000 different people what should go on a compilation album and you would probably get 10,000 different opinions. Lets be quite clear here, all these tracks are great and anyone checking out Radiohead for the first time will hopefully enjoy it. No one needs to feel guilty about buying this album. I find it quite hypocritical when anyone living comfortably in the western world talks about exploitation. We've all been reaping the benefits of exploitation for years, unless you live with the fairies at the bottom of the garden and make a living from selling daisy chains to squirrels, so I think it's unfair to single out the men in grey suits at EMI. Anyway I've given this review 5 stars in support of the music and I'll leave the politics to the hypocrites and the Guardian editorial. Enjoy the music.

4.0 out of 5 stars Have you bought it?, 4 Jun 2008
By G. M. Dobb "lord_vinyl" (Bicester) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Having actually bought the 2CD version of this album (unlike some of the previous "reviewers") I can honestly say:

The tracks do seem to blend in well despite being taken out of their album context and despite being presented non-chronologically.

If you *only want one* Radiohead CD in your collection then why not buy this one. There's some good music on here and nearly all of the tracks that someone new to Radiohead (where have you been?) would want/need.

The packaging is a little disappointing. Not much detail and no new information for the more-than-casual fan. Either the "booklet" has been produced to minimise EMI's carbon footprint or to minimise the production cost - you decide...

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, 4 Jun 2008
By Mr. Paul Farmer "paul" (northampton,uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The people writing the 1/2 star reviews are just trying to show themselves that there bigger fans than one another and if you met them they'd say "no, i knew radiohead before you!" "no i did" "no i did" and so on. The albums great, all there best work in my opinion.
Its about the music at the end of the day - If you've heard a few radiohead tracks and you like them, chances are you'll like the album. mainly comprised of successful releases.
The ONLY sell-out thing radiohead/there label has done is let Mark Ronson get hold of just.
