Comment:

This is not a mix intended as an introduction to Radiohead, but to established fans of one of the most adventurous bands to date. I would fathom that if anyone really did try to listen to this album without a background of Radiohead, they would come to the conclusion that Radiohead is overrated. No, these songs aren't easy listening, and NO RADIOHEAD IS NOT OVERRATED.

These Radiohead songs are all standouts from the vast array of Radiohead releases. Not very accessible (like i mentioned), but all incredible, intelligent and beautiful tracks that age just as a fine wine.

AIRBAG-greatest intro track ever...
IDIOTEQUE-dark, electronic pop...
BLOW OUT-creepy climax...
TALK SHOW HOST-i love when thom yorke drops the first f-bomb...
LIFE IN A GLASS HOUSE-after 3 years of listening to this song, one day before class the horns all came together...
LET DOWN-incredible climax with vocals one after another layered...
LIKE SPINNING PLATES (live)-this song is classicaly gorgeous. is this the same song from amnesiac?...
LIKE SPINNING PLATES-yes it is. and its better here than live...
WOLF AT THE DOOR- t.-money yorke does it again...
THE TOURIST-lulls you to sleep, and then "idiot, slow down!!"...
KID A-orgasmic. seriously...
SAIL TO THE MOON-guitar and piano harmonized perfectly...
HOW TO DISAPPEAR COMPLETELY-its a tide of waves come to take him away...
STREET SPIRIT (FADE OUT)-this song's close is the best radiohead has ever done. "immerse yourself in love, immerse yourself in love"...
TRUE LOVE WAITS-thom yorke has been hiding this gem. i didnt know he could do acoustic guitar this well. im not surpised...
MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK-greatest radiohead song ever...

id be happy to send anyone a copy of this mix cd. email me!

Your choices are really superb. I think this would work well to "establish fans," as you say (and I agree that I wouldn't put most of these on a more introductory CD).
Excellent flow; some of my favourite songs from one of my favourite bands.
