Radiohead speak out against 'Greatest Hits' album

Thom Yorke asks: 'What's the purpose?'

It's a mystery to me why record companies bother releasing Greatest Hits packages by indie bands - the vast majority of their fanbase will already own much of said band's back catalogue as old cds or downloads. Coupling this with Thom's comments, I'm almost certain that very few Radiohead fans will be buying this album. Teens too young to remember 90s Radiohead also don't buy cds, so if they were to discover the band it would be via other, more modern forms of media.Here's to the Radiohead Greatest Hits selling 47 copies.
