Bump. So fellow Radiohead aficionados. We'll never agree on the greatest radiohead songs of all time, but humour me? What do you reckon? In no particular order:

 

Reckoner

Paranoid Android

Kid A

Idiotique

Seperator

Weird Fishes

How to disappear completely

Pyramid Song

 

If you don't like radiohead, this isn't the thread for you obviously.

Some good choices there, PP.

 

In no particular order...

 

The National Anthem

Pyramid Song

A Reminder

Weird Fishes (Arpeggi)

Separator

Let Down

There There

These Are My Twisted Words

Lucky

Like Spinning Plates (Live)

 

Forgot about The National Anthem. One of my faves from Kid A. Like Spinning Plates is a real slow burner that I really got into after listening to the album a few times, same with Motion Picture Soundtrack and Videotape. I love how gems like that are near the end of the album and creep up on you.

I much preferred the "speeded up" version of Videotape that they performed live before "In Rainbows" was released, the album version never felt as good to me.

Much rather listen to Massive Attack.

 

I always find myself skipping tracks on Massive Attack albums. They have some awesome songs and some pretty mediocre ones usually. Best album for me was the one with Inertia Creeps, uhm, Mezzanine?

Radiohead do absolutely nothing to me and I think part of that stems from the cult-like mindset of their fans. They are hailed as the freshest most significant sound since Man started to speak and it's considered call to like them.

 

I call Radiohead fans, the Scientologists of the music world. They are all fucking mental and it only takes a hint of negativity towards the band before they all come at you with genuine rage.

Just like ginger nuts I too have entered this thread late after mucho sun ,mucho Freixnet Cava and few Bulmers and have spent the last hour youtubing all of Longos excellent choices

 

The National Anthem

Pyramid Song

Paranoid Android

Street Spirit

Just

 

The first 3 albums are by far my favourite,and far too often get overlooked for their later stuff even by Radiohead fans ....The Bends will always be their best album for me no matter where they go or what they do in the future

 

 

Turn up the volume very very loud...the amount of energy Yorke puts into his voice in this is incredible..hard to beat really.Now ,I think its time for me to listen to my bootlegs of their Irish gigs

I could never get into Pablo Honey but The Bends just blew everyone away. OK Computer was of course a masterpiece and then came Kid A. Kid A was something else - people were so butthurt that it didn't seem to have any brit-rock anthems but it was genius, an album you had to put some effort into to realize.

 

In Rainbows was the closest thing I think they had to the Bends in recent times - they improved the production values and had just generally grown as musicians. That album was just perfection.

 

Then came King of Limbs which was awesome but much like Kid A, wasn't what was expected. Amazing album but like Kid A takes a few listens to realize just how damn good it is.

 

Fucking love Radiohead. Seeing them in DC last year is one of my life highlights.
