Interview excerpt: Le Reservoir, Paris 7/3/2003 ---- Ray: "And, there's not been a greatest hits yet, will there be? Ed: "No. Ray: "Can you envisage... Ed: "Only when the band is over, that's the only time that a greatest hits... Thom: "When we need the money. Ed: "When we need the money. No, when the band is over, 'cos otherwise it's terrible, I can't understand Greatest hits...you know like Queen, Queen did their greatest hits, and the first one is impeccable, isn't it? It's absolutely genius. And then the rest was all rubbish after that! Well it was, kind of, wasn't it? Ray: "You're going to start a debate off in a minute. Ed: "No, ok. It's not rubbish, but it's not Seven Seas of Rhye, it's not, you know, Thom: "That's the old... The Bends Syndrome, that is, man. Ed: "What's that? Thom: "We'll have exactly the same, Ed: "Well probably, Ray: ""And then everything after OK Computer was pants!" Ed: "But we haven't done a greatest hits album, you see? It's... It's once you do one. There's like a trade-off there. There's a creative trade-off. But Blur did a greatest hits, and they've done a good record. Ray: "How are you going to do it, if Thom doesn't ever listen to any of the old records? How are you going to have tunes? Who is going to write the songs? Thom: "Delegate it! Ed: "We'll delegate it, Ray: "delegate it? Thom: "Yeah. Sitting in the office. Yeah, exactly. Ray: "Straw poll! Thank you very much, guys. ---- Ray: "Last question, if you can ever envisage your best-of Radiohead record coming out one day. They didn't think it was a good idea. Colin: "Maybe like a four-track e.p. Jonny: "With four tracks of covers on it... Colin: "Yeah, OK. Ray: "They're modest. Jonny: "With "Nobody does it better" on it, possibly. Ray: "Yes, I remember that actually.. Jonny: "So um. Best of... i don't know... Thom always wanted to call one of our records "The best driving music in the world, ever" So, yeah, maybe, you know, we should do that instead. We'll see. Phil: "It's been done, hasn't it... Jonny: "I think it has. Ray: "Don't tell him that, it was a good idea! All the good ideas have been taken, Jonny. Until you come up with another one!
