Vs. The "Best of Radiohead"

Reader Jeppe emailed us with a great question — how would our results stack up against the recently-released "Best of Radiohead" album?

Taking a look at the track list for CD1 of "Best of Radiohead," there's a decent amount of overlap. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the four lowest-ranking songs on our survey to appear on the disc are commercially-well-known hits from The Bends and Pablo Honey. Other than that, it matches pretty well, though our second-ranked song — and it's second by a mile in either direction — has completely disappeared from that disc, as have two of our other top 10 songs. They're all on the Bonus Disc, though, and if the average non-Radiohead fan bought the 2-disc set and plopped down £.01 for In Rainbows, our survey feels they'd be pretty caught up on what they've been missing — for whatever reason — so far.

That said, here are our survey's top 10-ranked songs that appear on neither "Best of Radiohead" CD1 or 2 nor on In Rainbows, with their current rank:

1. Climbing Up The Walls (19)
2. A Wolf at the Door (22)
3. Life in a Glass House (29)
4. You and Whose Army? (30)
5. Kid A (31)
6. Where I End and You Begin (32)
7. Motion Picture Soundtrack (34)
8. Like Spinning Plates (35)
9. Subterranean Homesick Alien (41)
10. Morning Bell (43)

For the record, if In Rainbows was included, it would have six of the spots on this list.
