Comments on: Potential ‘Radiohead Greatest Hits’ album covers http://www.ateaseweb.com/2008/02/14/potential-radiohead-greatest-hits-album-covers/ You need to lighten up, you take things too SERIUSLEE Fri, 29 Aug 2008 11:16:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: darwinDEE http://www.ateaseweb.com/2008/02/14/potential-radiohead-greatest-hits-album-covers/#comment-32033 darwinDEE Tue, 19 Feb 2008 16:45:31 +0000 http://www.ateaseweb.com/2008/02/14/potential-radiohead-greatest-hits-album-covers/#comment-32033 @tICM thanks, that cover was the most productive thing i did last week. I'm going to do something dangerous here and draw a comparison, THEN i will explain why that comparison is a poor one to draw. There is a greatest hits album from a band who are as loved and protected as Radiohead, the Echoes collection from Pink Floyd manages to be a good listen and manages to take disperate songs for different albums and reimagines them as a single flowing epic retrospective of some if their finest works. This was becuase it was made with the bands consent and assistance. Radiohead deserve the same treatment, and at a similar time in their career (which has to be at least a few albums away yet) they will not get this from EMI, and lets face it, an album that doesn't include anything from In Rainbows, will be less than great. For most bands a greatest hits is the nail in the coffin. It wont be for Radiohead. @tICM thanks, that cover was the most productive thing i did last week.

I'm sure everyone agrees that a body of work such as Radiohead's is impossible to narrow down, but from EMi's perspective, the boxset didn't work and this is possibly their last chance to save themselves, which any business would do(I am not a capitalist, may I add). I hope their attempt doesn't save them because of what has happened in recent times has been poor to say the least. There is no point kicking up a fuss about it as this going to happen so just watch EMI crash and burn. As for art work, I think a similar approach to the boxset will be taken (plain white with radiohead: greatest hits) the tracklisting I think Guy Hands will choose (in no specific order): Creep Thinking about you Anyone can play guitar My iron lung Just Street Spirit(fade out) Talk show host Paranoid Android Karma Police No Surprise The national anthem How to disappear Completely Iddioteque Knives out Pyramid song I might be wrong 2+2=5(the lukewarm) There There(the boney king of nowhere) Where I end and you begin(the sky is falling in) The only thing that really needs to be discussed on this topic is the ethics of what EMI are doing.
