NO! What a aweful way to listen to radiohead! The albums are each intense and individual in their perfection and individuality. Go buy the albums, avoid this sell out rubbish at all costs.
Pop, pop, pop music It's a travesty that this collection doesn't have a straight 5 star rating. Every single track has something going for it, and as a compilation it is simply mesmerising. Perhaps it's easy for me to say that; I'm not a big fan of Radiohead so I have no axes to grind. Most of the grumbling in other reviews here is not new.

Dont buy this !!!!! Having read previous reviews of this album, i was aware that the band did not want it released, i eventualy decided to buy The Bends, OK Computer and In Rainbows instead of the Best Of Collection, and i completely understand now why this band cannot be summarised in a "best of" collection. The albums are BRILLIANT. One of the best bands of modern times. PLEASE DONT BUY A BEST OF. IT NEGATES THE GREAT MUSIC OF ALL OF THEIR PREVIOUS ALBUMS, WHICH DESERVES LISTENING. DONT BUY THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A better bet than the single disc version, but still far from perfect Enough has been said about this compilation not being representative of what the band are about, but for an objective test I compared the track listing with what they performed live when I saw them at Victoria Park earlier this week. They played just five songs from the first disc and another four from the second out of a total of twenty five performed. Were it not for the second disc that would be a terrible hit rate for a supposed "Best Of" album; even with it that's barely over a third of their live set... more info
