Radiohead never seemed like the kind of band that would ever do a "Best of"

And they didn't. EMI is the one pulling this shit. Radiohead had nothing to do with it. And while I think the tracklisting is about as good as it can get, it still just seems wrong. If there was ever a band that you should NOT listen to the Best of, it's Radiohead. I know people say this about every band ever, but the only way to get to know what this band is about is to go back and listen to each album separately.

And now, just for the hell of it, I'll rank the Radiohead albums. I encourage you to do the same.

1. OK Computer- 10/10
2. Kid A- 10/10
3. The Bends- 10/10
4. In Rainbows- 9/10
5. Amnesiac- 8.5/10
6. Hail to the Thief- 7.5/10 (too... "Scatterbrain"-ed? Wink wink)
7. Pablo Honey- 6.5/10 (Good songs, just doesn't really have much of an identity)
