 Harsh EtheReality September 23, 2008

I am frequently a late comer to what is hip and cool. I had listened to Radiohead early on (Kid A, the Bends, Pablo Honey) but just didn't get it. In a twisted way I returned to Radiohead after my new found appreciation of groups like Coldplay, Muse, Keane, and the like. This Best of CD may not be all their best music but it is extensive and awesome. I couldn't stop listening to disc one with many of the familiar tunes but eventually found may way into disc two which is just as excellent in its own right. Songs like Let Down and Planet Telex really hold their own, even if they may not be their better known material. br / br /Listening to Radiohead is a unique experience, and the critics were right about this group early on. I remember hearing an interview with Tony Banks from Genesis (one of my musical heroes), and he was asked who he liked in the modern musical scene. His first reply was Radiohead. I tucked that away in the recesses of my cerebrum until I finally "got it" about Radiohead. I can best describe them as a mixture of U2 and Beck. There is clearly the musical talent and the VOICE of Bellamy but there is also a distinctive push into a new style/genre of rock music that sets Radiohead apart. br / br /If you haven't quite gotten into Radiohead, I highly recommend this collection. It has opened my ears to a group that has changed the direction of much of what we here today.
The Sons of Pink Floyd August 20, 2008
Gerardo Martinez Casas (San Miguel de Cozumel, Quintana Roo, Mexico)
Excuse me my hereticism of view , but after listening to this 2 cds back to back for 2 days on good cosmic mind organic self i could be convince that this is the reencarnation of Pink Floyd . The overall music mind set is just that , incredible music for our times , from early Chicago , to King Crimson ( horns and all ) , with some Young Marble Giants in the way , the Smiths and the Buzzcocks ... Anyway , buy it , steal it , borrow it , estimulate yourself with good soul cosmic music ... Inmerse in the times we live , insane and tragic and lovely fearful and who could really care for me if not myself ...
 Excellent music, horrible compilation. August 6, 2008

Don't buy this, buy the individual albums instead, or better yet, actually support the band by going and seeing them in concert. br /They didn't put this together and it doesn't sound like anyone with even the slightest bit of an ear for flow did either as it sounds choppy to listen to the songs in this order. br /No money from this compilation goes to the band, it just goes into the wallets of EMI executives. br /Support the band, f*ck EMI!

More Rare Tracks Should Have Been Included July 24, 2008
Morten Vindberg
Radiohead's album "The Bends" and "OK Computer" are among my all-time favourite albums, and as I have never actually owned any of the albums personally, I thought this two CDs compilation could be a good way to get to appreciate some of the later tracks more. When "Kid A" was released in 2000 was very disappointed, and more or less lost interest in the band. I still don't understand how both "Kid A" and "Amnesiac" can be assessed in line with "The Bends" and "OK Computer". br / br /CD one is really sheer pleasure; very nice to hear the songs in a different running order. "Creep" and "There There" blend nicely with the great songs from my two favourite albums. br / br /CD two is a different story with more focus on the later albums, and at the end of the day I realise that I probably should have bought the original albums instead, after all. br / br /Another disappointment was that my favourite non-album track "How Can You Be Sure" was not included on the the compilation - in fact CD 2 would have been a real treat if more of the finest B-sides were included br / br /For casual fans of the melodic side of Radiohead, the single-CD version of the compilation is still very recommendable.
