Anyone gonna buy this? I'm not for two reasons 1. Radiohead didn't give permission and 2. I already have all the songs.

    I probably would as I am a casual fan.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    Isn't there a DVD or something with it? Seems to me there was some incentive for people who had the whole catalog.

    well i dont really have my finger on the pulse but i wouldnt say they're huge here, i mean i cant remember i heard a radiohead song on the radio or saw a video of theirs on the music channels. They do have big reputation with the media.

    Can't have a Radiohead w/o J2tR jumping in with his never ending hate for the greatest band on the planet...

    huge in england? theyre RADIOHEAD!!! their reputation alone warrants a greatest hits. with or without their consent or approval. and besides the record company can basically do what they want with the songs they have rights to. hence that boxed set.

    oh and no i wont be buying it cause i ahve them all already. :)

    Sigur Ros is amazing and a top 5 band personally for me, but until they put out timeless album after timeless album like Radiohead---they will still be behind Radiohead

    Yeah.......they will be on my must-see list at Bonnaroo as well. However, I agree. I don't see four albums together from them even in the same neighborhood of equaling The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A, and In Rainbows.

    2013 Worcester I, Worcester II, Hartford

    It would have been nice if there was a bonus disc or something along with it. Not worth it for me cause i got all the songs.

    i think it comes with a dvd of their videos, might be worth it just for that.

    Damn, that's fucking slick alright. Given the FACT that Radiohead makes sweet ass music videos, I might just buy the damn.

    Classic videos: Paranoid Android, Karma Police, Knives Out, Fake Plastic Tree...

    No need to fret, you can buy the DVD separately. 21 videos on it, including all the stuff previously on 7 TV Commercials. I too have all the songs on the GH already, but I'll definitely be picking up the DVD.
