    I assume you mean Portishead's "Third" - which is a great album. A little different from their past stuff, but still a really good album.

    The Radiohead best of is just their old record label's attempt to capitalize on their current success without that label. I suggest buying their full albums, as each album has it's own theme and vibe. Radiohead isn't really a "best of" type of band, as one can't get the full sense of the band or their body of work by listening to some greatest hits. That would be kinda like buying a best of Pink Floyd, or best of Tool.

    I totally agree! Radiohead makes Albums, not hits. Every one of their albums is worth owning IMHO. They are best enjoyed by listening beginning to end, uninterrupted. After each album, you will walk away feeling 'something'.

    Thirded. What an amazing band. Best live show I've ever seen was down in Charlotte a few weeks ago at the Radiohead concert.

    Not sure if I like the new Portishead as much as I thought I would....but I'm going to give it some time to grow on me.

    The idea of a Best of Radiohead album just made me giggle, as they're not really a "singles" band. Viva Kid A!!!
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    like phuz says, the whole thing is a vendetta from the old record company, which as you all know, RadioHead dumped, and released their lasted album (and a fantastic album it is) on the internet, with the whole "pay us what you see right" thing.
    It's just an immoral album. The band ignores it, and nobody should buy it.

    Another vote to boycott the Radiohead "Best Off” Those jack-asses at Parlophone also had the nerve to release a vinyl version on 4 lps for like 50 bucks! Stay away, FAR AWAY!! And then go out and grab In Rainbows on vinyl!!
