jesus, calm down. They're missing some good stuff, but I've always dug the more experimental stuff. Very influential band though, they more than deserve a greatest hits.

Radiohead actually wanted to release one, but EMI pretty much said "screw you" and made a quick money maker.

[gallagher2006]

THis exact news article was posted a few weeks ago.

Why do radiohead care so much? They'll become EVEN RICHER because of it, and will be more well known/

[StereoFlare]

Radiohead aren't in it for the money and care about artistic creativity and proper presentation of their material. If I were in Radiohead's situation I'd be pissed off at the lack of care that EMI has for a band that provided them with a lot of money and a lot of publicity. EMI should show the same respect to Radiohead that Radiohead showed to them. Sounds like a major case of sour grapes to me. Added this CD to the "will not buy" list.

[AnimatedHand]

I'd rather one made by radiohead themselves rther than this EMI one, but to be fair, the songs on it ARE probably their best. But for the reasons Radiohead gave, I probably wont be buying this.

no, these songs are not their best as most people will agree here, Radiohead albums are meant to be listened to as a whole. That, and I HIGHLY doubt Radiohead would be as low as to release a greatest hits album

[pl0x]

straightforward: dont buy it, Radiohead are against this release, Eeeesh at EMI!

[Nargenfargen]

yeah, there were a lot of key songs they missed out on. Radiohead have some way better songs than the ones they put on there. imo, i wouldn't even consider buying this greatest hits if Life in a Glasshouse and Motion Picture Soundtrack weren't on it. Two of there best right there. I ain't buying this.

[adayinthelife]

Where the **** is sail to the moon?

[tbarrettl]

This CD is an insult to Radiohead, I agree with boycotting it.

said Nargenfargen

2 awesome songs, however not even Radiohead would put them on a greatest hits comp, much less the suits at EMI. I'm surprised and disappointed at the leaving-out of Planet Telex and also the lack of any of the other good Pablo Honey songs, besides Anyone Can Play Guitar, Creep can go **** itself.

[Midnight Barber]

I just saw this in the shops and was nearly sick.
