This is technically what Queen tried to do with the Top 100 Bootlegs. They just cocked up the execution.

It's interesting to read comments elsewhere. The predicted 'it shows what a rip off the bonus stuff on last years OK Computer reissue was' and how 'there is all this stuff unreleased' so obviously the band should release.

Measuring an artist's quality and appeal only by their singles and characterizing their entire fanbase as "hipsters" says nothing about Radiohead and their fanbase and everything about how small minded you are.
Whether or not you like it, OK Computer and Kid A are two of the most important albums ever created.

I like Muse more than Radiohead myself. Black Holes And Revelations is my favourite album of the last 20 years. But we can't deny the influence Radiohead has had on popular music - it is massive.
OK Computer is a Mason-Dixon line which everything after it was measured, rendering pretty much everything else to be irrelevant. It changed everything. Thom Yorke developed an allergic reaction to the pop hook 20 years ago, yet they remain the most critically acclaimed artists of our generation. Nobody else is operating at that level. Maybe Kendrick Lamar.

I don't 'get' their music. That is my biggest problem. Mark Hollis did some similar music after their commercial period. The late 80s/early 90s period of Talk Talk is seen as their best, but here I have the same issue: I can't get into this kind of music, because it is too complicated almost.
Muse has done some odd stuff as well of course, like Forced In, Micro Cuts, Recess etc. But here I don't have the problem, because it is still easy listening somehow (clear structures, melodies etc.) Plus, I like Matt's voice way more than Thom's.
Burn the Witch is a stellar track btw, I have to be honest about that.

This is how I've always explained Radiohead to people. You either get their music or you don't. I've followed them since they first appeared so have watched their transition over time. Very inventive. Like any band not everything works but most does.

I have all the Radiohead albums and most of Muse's.
I've never seen Radiohead live, only on the Telly.
Been to see Muse Twice, at Earls Court (vip area) and at Wembley Stadium (I was almost in the pit).
I prefer Muse myself, they are way less serious, yet very competent musicians, and what a show they put on.
It might be they remind me of Queen, no bad thing.

Also, the greatest punchline to all this is the fact Radiohead have officially released it as 'Minidisc (Hacked)' which is probably the most Radiohead title I've ever heard in my life.
