Lotus Flower

Reckoner imo

COME ON AND LET IT OUUUUUTTTT
>>
weird fishes

I'd have to argue Paranoid Android, because it's the most quintessential Radioheady song that they ever wrote. It even has an anti-solo.
>>
Knives Out
>>
>>60469177
as hard as it would be to chose a single greatest song it'd have to be this one for me

absolutely stunning song
>>
>>60469137
It's funny how so melody-oriented most of these "experimental" songs are, they just dissonant just in the way they're presented or structured. Starting the studio version right off on an offbeat couple with weird background effects will sway any pleb poof.
>>
No Surprises
Let Down
Street Spirit
Reckoner
Everything in it's right place
How to disappear completely
There There
Fake Plastic Trees
Pyramid Song
Idioteque

Optimism

>>60469260
I actually know a dude who plays guitar and says even OKC was "too weird" for him and how he loves the Bends and Pablo Honey and doesnt like any of Radiohead's later stuff
>>
>>60469308

ONE SONG YOU FUCKING SWINE

Let Down
>>
Paranoid Android is the correct answer.
>>
>>60469349
Same thing for me, except this friend I know is heavy into emo and post-hardcore, used to like The Bends as a teen but found TKoL to be "weird". And this is coming from a guy who listens to much harsher shit. I think the graces of some genres of music are lost on other people.

+1 How to Disappear Completely
or maybe Codex
>>
Pyramid song
>>
>>60469080
Good job got me but honestly Tomorrow's Modern Boxes is better than any Radiohead.
>>
>>60469080
This is the correct answer

Let down
Sail to the moon
True love waits
The tourist
Fake plastic trees
Codex
Pyramid song

why is motion picture soundtrack never on anyone's lists
>>
It's hard to pick a "best ever" Radiohead song since their discography ranges greatly, but if I had to pick I'd say Pyramid Song.

Or Weird Fishes.
>>
>>60470338
it's such a nice closing song
>>
Packt Like Sardines In A Crusd Tin Box

All true Radiohead fans know this
>>
The Scientist

>>60469063

They've never written a good song.

>>60469063
Viva La Vida

>>60470449
1,000,000% this.
>>
Hunting Bears
>>
>>60469755
that is a fantastic album
>>
>>60470269
2nd idioteque
>>
but idioteque is just a collection of unrelated and incomplete sentences muttered whimsically over and over again
>>
Treefingers
>>
I'd say either The Tourist, Pyramid Song or Videotape
>>
My top 5 would be:
Idioteque
Pyramid Song
Let Down
Codex
House of Cards
>>
>>60469080
this is the song that made me like radiohead
>>
>>60469349
I have a friend who loves Muse but only likes Karma Police off of OK Computer. :/
>>
>>60469260
i think you're exaggerating radiohead's avant-garde pretensions. i think most people know they're a band with mass appeal.
>>
>>60469103
I got it anon

This is my answer.

>>
Like Spinning Plates
>>
15 step and talk show host desu
>>
Pulk Pull

Thom himself has said that this song separates fans the most between people that liked old Radiohead and new Radiohead.
>>
Let Down
How I Made My Millions
Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong
Pyramid Song
Everything In Its Right Place
How to Disappear Completely
Street Spirit
Killer Cars

I feel like I'm the only one on this board who prefers their 90s work.

With how I view Kid A as a story of events, that track just fucking kills me every time.

I used to think the silence was annoying, but now I view it as a moment of peace to understand what you just heard.
