The Bonus DiScussion: our Radiohead best-of mixes

but a b-side and rarities compilation is probably more worth having - like the drill ep, killer cars, lift (live) and the really good live version of dollars and cents which is noisy and paranoid as opposed to the version on Amnesiac that sends me to sleep

Gareth Dobson is on the money here, sorry Mike

although i like the song - prove yourself (drill ep version) would be better

the Live mini album version of Like Spinning Plates...

both awesome though

I am also sad to miss off My Iron Lung and Airbag and god knows what else.

if EMI are clever, they'll do a nice 38-odd track double CD with some rareties spliced in there...

In fact, I might post my definitive double CD version later when I get bored...

x

fo sho. And 'High And Dry'.

(not really 'high and dry')

but they should just use the mp3 thats been floating online since 2000 as it has the lovely synthy bleeps in the background and is still the best version of it

open/close with Creep.

are the best radiohead songs.

surely there's enough Radiohead to fill a best of, without having to stick Dylan songs on there as well.

1) Fake Plastic Trees
2) Just
3) Street Spirit (Fade Out)
4) Let Down
5) Karma Police
6) Climbing Up the Walls
7) Everything in Its Right Place
8) Idioteque
9) Motion Picture Soundtrack
10) Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box
11) Pyramid Song
12) I Might Be Wrong
13) 2 + 2 = 5 (The Lukewarm.)
14) There There. (The Boney King of Nowhere.)
15) A Wolf at the Door (It Girl. Rag Doll.)

I really wanted to include "Exit Music (For a Film)"-- amongst others-- but, alas, narrowing Radiohead's entire EMI career down to a mere 15 tracks is very difficult indeed.

As has already been said, in reality, it'll almost certainly be a singles compilation. How sad. But, hey, it'll introduce a lot of people to Radiohead, so it's not all *that* bad.

This.

1) Coke Babies
2) Vegetable
3) Prove Yourself
4) Pop Is Dead
5) Inside My Head
6) Bones
7) Electioneering
8) Fitter Happier
9) Melatonin
10) Hunting Bears
11) Where Bluebirds Fly
12) Paperbag Writer
13) We Suck Young Blood
14) Innocents Civilian
15) We Suck Young Blood (again)

I'm absolutely shocked that not everyone has included Airbag, possibly the best alternative pop song both musically, and melodically, ever written.

Creep won't be on it

You've failed.

I might actually just make this mix instead of buying the EMI version.

1. The National Anthem (from 'Kid A')
2. Anyone Can Play Guitar (from 'Pablo Honey')
3. Black Star (from 'The Bends')
4. There There (from 'Hail To The Thief')

11. Weird Fishes / Arpeggi (from 'In Rainbows')
12. Idioteque (from 'Kid A')
13. Sulk (from 'The Bends')
14. Karma Police (from 'OK Computer')
15. Creep (from 'Pablo Honey')
Bonus Track. The Clock (from Thom Yorke's solo album, 'The Eraser')

Maybe not this order, but just 15 tracks.

1) Creep
2) Stop Whispering
3) Just
4) Street Spirit (Fade Out)
5) Fake Plastic Trees
6) Paranoid Android
7) No Surprises
8) Everything In Its Right Place
9) Idioteque
10) Pyramid Song
11) I Might Be Wrong
12) True Love Waits
13) There There
14) 2+2=5
15) Where I End and You Begin

I reckon that would be a decent Radiohead sampler.

there's some lovely shiny nuggets lurking in the early b-sides. 'Coke Babies', 'Million Dollar Question', 'Stupid Car', 'Killer Cars', 'Maquilladora' (although the live version was better), 'Banana Co' - I'd love to hear all of them again. And the Punk RockTM version of 'Thinking About You' from the Drill EP is good for a chortle.

e.g Arpeggi/Weird Fishes?

1) 2+2=5
2) Let Down
3) The Bends
4) Where I End And You Begin
5) The Trickster
6) Everything In Its Right Place
7) Street Spirit (Fade Out)
8) Knives Out
9) Exit Music (For A Film)
10) Sail To The Moon
11) Life In A Glasshouse (Full Length Version)
12) High And Dry
13) Fog
14) Lucky
15) Fake Plastic Trees

try and convince the band of that though :-(

1. 2+2=5
2. Exit Music
3. Planet Telex
4. How To Disappear Completely
5. Paranoid Android
6. Dollars and Cents
7. I Might Be Wrong
8. Life in a Glasshouse
9. The Bends
10. Let Down
11. Idioteque
12. The Gloaming
13. Nude
14. Weird Fishes
15. Motion Picture Soundtrack

the live acoustic version of killer cars kicking around is the best version, awesome song, a b-side collection would be ace.
