Will Radiohead Ever Release a Best Of?

[I'm Ready]

I don't think it would happen

 

[BVS]

The ACDC Boxset is 2 live gigs, another copy of Back 'n' Black and a disc of semi-interesting outtakes. What are the other legit comps? The 9 track quasi-soundtrack from 1986 or the double live album from 1991 gigs?

"High Voltage" album (1976), which is a collection of songs from the first "High Voltage" album (1974) and "T.N.T." (1975). The album "Who Made Who" is also some kind of collection, but not a "best of"-album.

Beck just released his 7th album. That's not counting his 2 non-commercial indie label releases or his remix album. He's also has mountains of stuff collecting dust in his vault.

Yes, I'm aware I have all his albums...

 

[Zoomerang96]

30 versions of airbag would make me happy.

 

[Kieran McConville]

Oh come on Zoomerang96, you surely must agree they need to include a cover of Vertigo (groundhog day remix)?

Frankly guys, who cares? Irrespective of your opinion of Radiohead, are greatest hits albums anything more than a cave-in to the terrorists? I ask you, and I also give the answers - the answer is, no. So go and smell the roses and breathe clean air under a sky with two suns, and let's all get down and let it roll.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOo

[LemonMelon]

They've gotten pretty good at releasing "Worst Of" albums. Just check out their last 4. Woof.

Are you including OK Computer? If so

Otherwise, I agree. I say, their last two are very, very disappointing, but Kid A and OK Computer are golden...particularly OK Computer, which is one of the best albums that has ever touched my ears.

 

[phanan]

It will happen at some point, whether they want it to or not.

 

[LemonMelon]

Beck as talented as he is, doesn't have the catalog for a greatest hits.

1. Loser
2. Beercan
3. Devils Haircut
4. The New Pollution

Next time, think before you type.

(BTW, forgot to add Pay No Mind, Guess I'm Doing Fine, and Hell Yes)

 

[Lancemc]

You don't have The Golden Age on there. For shame!

 

[BVS]

Next time, think before you type.

All great songs, but how many of these are recognizable to the everyday listening audience? Maybe 5...

That is my point.

 

[phanan]

To derail this thread even further, if there was ever a GH for Beck, Where It's At would definitely be on there as well.

 

[LemonMelon]

You don't have The Golden Age on there. For shame!

Agreed. Golden Age is probably better than half the songs on that list, but it wasn't a single.

 

[LemonMelon]

That is my point.

The same argument could be said for Radiohead.

Forgot that one for real!

 

[phanan]

So I figured, but it would still be on there!

 

[Zoots]

...2 turntables and a microphone

 

[angelordevil]

It will happen at some point, whether they want it to or not.

I agree. That kind of project might look a bit off the radar now, but it's bound to happen at some point. They've just signed on to another big record deal, so who knows what that thing contains. Whatever form the collection takes, it'll probably be well thought out and thematic...maybe a bit like Pink Floyd's Echoes.

I've got the title: Every Sing In Its Right Place

 

[Zoots]

I've got the title: Every Sing In Its Right Place

or even just... Everything's In It's Right Place: The Best of Radiohead

OK is one of the best records ever.

Kid A is so bad I count it twice.

 

[xaviMF22]

OK is one of the best records ever.

Kid A is good too.

 

[MrBrau1]

I just threw up in my mouth.

 

[xaviMF22]

I just threw up in my mouth.

I did too when I listened to HTDAAB

 

[Zoots]

Kid A is so many times better than HTDAAB that it's not even funny! You know what else is better than HTDAAB? Hopes & Fears!

 

[MrBrau1]

I don't think anyone actually likes Kid A.

They just say they like it.

To appear cool and interesting to others.

It's the only logical conclusion.

Cause the music is so poor.

Fake people suck more than the "music" that appears on Kid A.

 

[MrBrau1]

Fake people suck more than the "music" that appears on Kid A.

I made a funny.

I called the sound that comes off Kid A "music."

 

[Zoots]

Well, some of us actually like it!

 

[MrBrau1]

belch

 

[Zoots]

What an obnoxious baby! Geez!

 

[angelordevil]

I don't think anyone actually likes Kid A.

Brau, why do you constantly rip apart the Radiohead threads? It really takes away from your thoughts on other things...I'd give it a rest, seriously.

 

[Lancemc]

Brau is allowed to rip apart any thread he pleases. He's funny.

 

[Zoots]

Brau is allowed to rip apart any thread he pleases. He's funny.

You wouldn't say that if he rips a thread about Beautiful Day or ATYCLB apart.

Except, he wouldn't.
