explain yourself
Ok Computer is first no matter what because of the context of its release and it's influence but , from a pure musical standpoint , i would say that the bends , ok computer , in rainbows and Kid A are all at the same level .

>>64661800
there is not objective ranking you faggot, you can't measure quality of music
even ranking albums is cancer, shit, it all depends on a lot of stuff, there are even some research that point that preference of music genre strongly depends on personality and social status

Hail to the Thief
Kid A
Amnesiac
TKOL
In Rainbows
OK Computer
The Bends
Pablo Honey
1-Ok Computer at first because it has a big influence in the actual bands
2-Kid A for being a experimental and high ambitious album that created his own style
3-Amnesiac because despite is of the same sessions that kid a is quite different and as extension has great songs
4-Hail to the thief
5- In Rainbows
6-The Bends
7-the king of limbs, experimentation with no great results
8-Pablo Honey, when radiohead was fated to be a mtv band
>>64661905
it has their three best songs, paranoid, let down and climbing up the walls. electioneering is one of the funnest songs radoihead has ever made, fitter happier their best interlude, and OKC's only mediocre track is karma police. OKC is incredibly consistent and has some of their best work.

Objective ranking here

3. Amnesiac (Don't like Knives Out that much, still stellar)
4. The King of Limbs (I understand the criticism, but I have grown to love this album so much. Only weak point is Mr. Magpie imo)
5. OK Computer (Massively overrated, especially the singles)

Joanna Newsom would be up there! In particular for Have One On Me. But the thing about In Rainbows is it's so brisk, I'm already finishing Videotape and it feels like I put it on not long ago at all... the songs are so well constructed that none of them overstay. I also love the sense of finality it has with Videotape. Incredible record.

It's not that I don't like it, but I truly think is is the weakest track on the album.

You just explained it yourself. IR is objectively good, so the hipsters must claim to hate it.
Daydreaming got me excited for the next LP. It sounds like they're releasing something a little darker than the last two. Will this be the Amnesiac to TKOL? If so I am beyond ready.

bodysnatchers is playing now, this is much more interesting to me
>>64662999
this. it's a good song but it's very simplistic. and yes, radiohead is at its best when tehy're making complex music. IR is their simplest record and one of their most boring.
>>64663049
ugh, they just sort of wander aimlessly, it's like he stepped up to the mic without a clear idea of what he wanted to do

Don't browse /mu/ while listening to IR. Go sit in a dark room under the covers and close your eyes. Then enter the realm of Thom Yorke.

this is why its such a phenomenal album, because of how simple the songs are musically, yet they have such a powerful impact on the listener.

nah, i'm in my warm open living room with huge window looking out into nature, it is good setting
'nude' now playing. pretty good but i couldn't listen to this all the time, would probably skip during most playthroughs. it's this album's "changes"

>The release also drew criticism. Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, who independently released his sixth album Ghosts I-IV under a Creative Commons licence the following year, thought it did not go far enough, calling it "very much a bait and switch, to get you to pay for a MySpace quality stream as a way to promote a very traditional record sale." Singer Lily Allen called it "arrogant", saying: "[Radiohead have] millions of pounds. It sends a weird message to younger bands who haven't done as well. You don't choose how to pay for eggs. Why should it be different for music?"[36] In the Guardian, journalist Will Hodgkinson wrote: "Spare a thought for the thousands upon thousands of bands and singers who, nowhere near Radiohead's levels of fame and fortune, now have pretty much no chance of ever making a living from their music."[37] Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth told the Guardian the release "seemed really community-oriented, but it wasn't catered towards their musician brothers and sisters, who don’t sell as many records as them. It makes everyone else look bad for not offering their music for whatever."[38]
I....what? Aside from Reznor these comments are fucking idiotic.
>>64663206
It's legitimately one of the greatest songs ever recorded
>>64663743
Oh come on, it's above average at best! It's not even one of the better songs on this above-average-at-best album.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VmM8qRRLwU
>>64663758
It's genuinely how I feel. There's something about the propelling arpeggios that slowly build into that atmospheric drop that just does it for me.

Music is subjective
>>64663737
It's actually pretty sensible. Radiohead had nothing to lose from releasing their records for free, and it's arguable that less successful musicians would look cheap for simply selling their records for cash.
I don't particularly care since In Rainbows was a great record, but I never cared for that pay what you want statement it made. It seemed like every media outlet would talk about that instead of the actual music.

>>64663900
What a fucking stupid comment. No one suggested that it was unique; it's a combination of its structure, writing, and execution that makes it a good song, not just its structure.
>why does everybody just like, discover one thing that they like and then give up exploring music
This is the most arrogant, presumptuous thing I've read in fucking weeks.
>>64663900
Why are you on his case? Weird Fishes is a good song. Who says that he gave up looking for more music because he adores Weird Fishes?
>>64663267
The second half only works with the first half. Weird Fishes works the way most Krautrock songs work- through what seems like endless repetition. But then it switches up on you, purposely stopping the momentum in a way that feels like something just blew open the door and let all the air in. It lets in for one last build through the coda- not as intense as the verse or as quiet at the chorus- that serves to remind the listener where they started, resolving the story and leading into All I Need in a more appropriate level of intensity.
>>64663951
At this point, the old distribution model had long since been destroyed and these people are pathetically clinging to its vestiges.
All of these artists could equally have afforded to give away their records for free, because none of them were making a fucking dime from selling records. Record sales only benefited record label middle management at this point.
Proof: bandcamp. Every up and coming artist uses pay-what-you-want. And lo and behold they're making much, much more money than they were when they were crying about radiohead and trying to get you to buy their cd for $18

I....what? I'm not talking about it being unique. This is the tip of the iceberg. If you are actually interested in music, you would have discovered hundreds of other songs that give you what you want, but better than this. What is arrogant about that? I didn't personally create any of that music. It isn't arrogant to point out that it exists...
>>64664049
I can only surmise that he gave up if he really thinks that wispy little nothing of a tune is something worth writing home about let alone GOAT

When reading these lists a lot of people forget that most enjoy all but PH.
>>64664066
>All of these artists could equally have afforded to give away their records for free, because none of them were making a fucking dime from selling records
Neither of these things are true, and if they were, it has no baring on what up and coming artists would require. Your local band can't expect to make any kind of living off of releasing their records for free- the only reason they do is because of things like bandcamp which crowd up the space so much with free music that any kind of internet exposure requires the artist to release all of their music for free.
>Record sales only benefited record label middle management at this point.
Source? This implies that a band that is not Radiohead would make more money from a pay what you want model over actually selling records. Without a big name attached to the record, most people wouldnt pay a cent.
>Proof: bandcamp. Every up and coming artist uses pay-what-you-want.
Bandcamp is necessary for most bands to gain any kind of exposure- arguably because of the pwyw model Radiohead pioneered.. If you think anyone really makes money off of bandcamp, you're sorely mistaken. It's a trade off- more bands can release their music to an audience, but they make less money AND there's more bands crowding up the same creative space.
>>64661800

I know it's clique at this stage but /mu/ really has fell apart, Amnesiac is not the best Radiohead album and everyone saying that knows it. And to the "oh look at me I'm going to call Radiohead a Coldplay ripoff so I can be a true hacker on Four Channel!!", leave this board and do something with your life and get your hands off your balls, you're the cancer of /mu/
>>64664180
I'm just saying it's why the song is unique and why it works, since you think it's only average.
>>64664140
>What is arrogant about that?
It is this part:
>If you are actually interested in music, you would have discovered hundreds of other songs that give you what you want, but better than this.
because it assumes A. there are songs directly similar to Weird Fishes that are objectively better and B. that the listener is less cultured or lazy or not a true lover of music for not discovering such songs.
tl;dr music is subjective
>>64664263
I know Amnesiac probably isn't their best, but it's my favourite.
>>64664243
You are just speculating and talking out of your ass.
Do some actual research and you will see that I am right. Artists make much more money now that they control the distribution model. A lot of people are willing to pay $1 or $5 for an artist they've gotten to listen to for free. The artist gets 100% of that as opposed to 0.01% of it going to the debt they owe their label. People form personal relationships with the artists and more frequently go to their shows. Show attendance is up. Bands are able to charge more for tickets. Bands find that they make more money selling merch. And on and on.
Please read up before you start spouting bullshit that you infer from what "logically" makes sense to you. There are actual numbers attached to this shit.

Milo, an indie rapper who is by no means a megastar like Radiohead, says he's never had to work a day in his life doing anything other than making music. He sells hand-painted cassettes through his bandcamp, or you can listen for free.

Why are you abusing his word "unique"? It's unique because it uses elements from krautrock? I don't follow you at all.
>>64664298
>because it assumes A. there are songs directly similar to Weird Fishes that are objectively better
In my opinion, that's not an assumption, but a fact.
>B. that the listener is less cultured or lazy or not a true lover of music for not discovering such songs.
If A) was a fact then B) would follow from it logically.
>>64664140
What's arrogant is assuming that I don't know of other songs that are structured similarly simply because I think that Weird Fishes is the best example of that structure. You're ascribing taste to ignorance.
>>64664405
Alright, at least we've proven you're arrogant

>>64664458
>>64664464
This has nothing to do with me. You post on fucking /mu/. You have, at your fingertips, literal proof of the existence of so much fucking good music. People who have sifted through every artist of all time for the absolute best shit.
There's no way that is not going to yield better results than a mainstream alternative rock band. It's statistically improbable as fuck.
I don't know why you think it's about my opinion.
There is no objective correct answer with Radiohead because so much of their material is so close in quality. It's pretty easy to rearrange like 5 of the albums and still have a good list.
1. Hail To The Thief
2. Kid A

4. Amnesiac

6. The Bends
7. The King of Limbs
8. Pablo Honey
>>64663056
>In Rainbows
>Simple
I hate this meme. Just because there are lot of clean tones and standard drum sounds on the album, it's automatically categorised as such. The chord progression and harmony in Jigsaw is great stuff, polyphony and layering on Weird Fishes is amongst their best, Reckoner has great percussive arrangement and orchestration, All I Need has an unconventional pensive bassline and melody with an amazing chromatic strings climax, Faust Arp has interesting time signature switches, Body snatchers has a great Mixolydian syncopated guitar riff, Videotape's slight 1/8th note delay, rolling beats and repeating three figure chords make for a fascinatingly disarming listen and production, mixing and fading on Nude make it a technical standout in their discography. There is so much going on musically; in terms of melody, rhythm, texture and layering, it's impossible to listen and not be completely amazed. It surprises me how much depth they managed to put in a seemingly accessible package. Easily one of their best.
>>64664573
Good point, good list and good cat.
>>64664686
The samba rhythms on Reckoner was my favorite part of the album
>>64664556
>There's no way that is not going to yield better results than a mainstream alternative rock band. It's statistically improbable as fuck.
Actually, if you assume, like the Greeks, that appreciation for certain aesthetic qualities are innate in human beings, then something that is truly great is likely to be at least slightly more popular than the vast ocean of endless mediocrity. But it's a dumb thing to argue either way since at the very most there is no correlation between level of obscurity and quality.
>>64662188
Most honest answer ITT
>>64664850
That's an awfully dressed up ad populum fallacy.
And letting that slide, you miss my point on several levels. BECAUSE I believe in you, because I believe you possess appreciate for aesthetic qualities, I urge you to delve deeper.
I'm not arguing that obscure music is better. There's a lot of music out there. A LOT! When Radiohead came along, you had to be a serious guru to know about most of it.
Now it's different, you can just search the internet or the archives or start a thread on /mu/ about "hey I like this song, what is more stuff like this with arpeggios and a slow build up" or whatever you said you liked, and then suddenly you have million more songs to listen to as sought out by generations of gurus sharing their collective knowledge across thousands of web communities.
>>64665032
>That's an awfully dressed up ad populum fallacy.
No it fucking isn't. Saying that something is good simply because it's popular is different from saying that good music appeals to human beings' inherent sense of aesthetic harmony. Beethoven's 9th isn't well-liked simply because people don't know any better, it's well liked because Beethoven understood the qualities that make music pleasing. The main job of a good artist is to discern what people find aesthetically pleasing and then translate it to an audience in interesting ways.
>you can just search the internet or the archives or start a thread on /mu/ about "hey I like this song, what is more stuff like this with arpeggios and a slow build up"
You just don't get it. It's insulting to suggest that I don't know of all of the great arpeggios written by Chopin, Scharwenka, and Vivaldi simply because I like Weird Fishes a whole lot. You don't have access to my music library, so don't assume to know anything about my musical education.
>>64665398
It's not because you like it a lot, it's because you suggest it's one of the greatest things ever made. That's fucking absurd and you know it. And I don't listen to classical music.
>>64662522
I would agree if Kid A and IR were switched around, and HTTT and TKOL.
>>64665544
I said it's one of the greatest songs ever written, and I would only concede that that's an absurd statement if you could come up with a single objective argument as to why it isn't a great song. "There's so much music out there that a Radiohead song can't possibly be that good" isn't an argument.

people seem to forget that OKC could probably be like the objective greatest album of all time musically. kid a and in rainbows are also up there perhaps tied honestly
You fucking Radiohead fanatics are given to such ridiculous hyperbole.
I always see In Rainbows at the JB HI-FI near my school on vinyl and tempted to pick it up even though I've never heard it,
Is it worth it bros? It's pretty cheap.

It's pretty mediocre compared to the rest of the album. Better than Lucky and No Surprises though.

5- Hail To the Thief
6- The Life Of Pablo Honey
7- In Rainbows
8- King of Limbs
Relistening to Pablo Honey right now and it's honestly not as bad as people make it out to be. Creep is so far the worst song. You and Stop Whispering are at least fun to listen to.
Best
>Hail to the Thief
Most consistent album in terms of song quality. Best opener and best closer of all their albums, and only one-two songs are "bad" (WSYB and Scatterbrain). It's also their most accessible album, because it mixes guitar and electronic really well - it's the album that got me into Radiohead after In Rainbows didn't
>Amnesiac
Arguably their most interesting album, the jazzy feeling is unique among their albums and is always interesting to listen to. It also, in my opinion, feels more depressive and burlesque than OK Computer and Kid A with Spinning Plates, Life in a Glasshouse, etc
>OK Computer
It's a good album, with lots of good songs, but more songs dip in quality towards the end than HttT and Amnesiac
>The Bends
Britrock at it's finest. My Iron Lung is probably the best "rock" song they've written, and Planet Telex is a neat opener with the A-major/A-minor transitions
>Kid A/In Rainbows/The King of Limbs
Mostly unremarkable, but they work as good background music and have at least one good song in them (Idioteque, Nude, The Daily Mail, for example). The King of Limbs would've benefited if it were released as the live album rather than the studio version, but alas Radiohead didn't do that
>Pablo Honey
Self-explanatory
>>64661800
>1
OKC is their best because it has a great feel through it and because it has the most amount of fucking amazing songs they have made.
>2
Kid A has one of the best starts to a record I have heard(like, holy shit Everything->Kid A->National Anthem), but I feel it has too many transition songs to top something like OKC.
>3
Amnesiac is almost on-par with Kid A. I like the tone better and I feel it is a stronger record throughout, but them starting trio of Kid A pull my heart a bit harder.
>4
In Rainbows is a really great record, but(apart from Faust Arp, Bodysnatchers, 15 step and Reckoner) I really didn't love it that much.
>5
TKOL is two face. The bibli wobly part I really do not like that much, mainly because it is deadairspace chart music, not so much radiohead. Thom's version of Bloom is beautiful, but not on the CD. The second part has one of their absolute best songs(Separator) and other three great tracks. Separator alone is top 3 song material and the record is here because of that.
>6
Never really liked the bends all that much. Street Spirit is one of their best pure depression tracks, JUST is great rock and Iron Lung sounds really good... but it really is a half pablo honey record.
>7
Hail to the Thief is kinda lazy. Great songs tho, in particular I Will, Backdrifts and another one I can't remember.
>8

man I remember when In Rainbows came out and Radiohead had a pick-your-price digital download and let you score it for free if you wanted
shit was pretty revolutionary for the time (for an artist to do, obviously free music downloads are ancient)

Is this even legal?
>everybody ranking in rainbows this high
I don't understand. I like quite a few songs off the album- it's pretty solid. But its not cohesive enough to be ranked higher than anything except pablo honey and TKOL in my book.
>>64676837
>Is this even legal?
Yes.

well played OP
>tfw the first time I listened to How to disappear completely
>>64676837
Personally I don't fond towards Amnesiac that much. Its a semi-light and comfy for the first half of the album then its tearing something inside me apart when 2nd part starts to kick in. Its quite overwhelming feeling and non consistent (like lets say in Kid A older brother)
OK Computer is EXTREMELY hard listen to, very aggressive and not daily on the road type of the album, its very depressive.
In Rainbows is very light and The Bends is comfy Rock. (some editions have awesome Killer Cars bonus song)
>>64677526
>OK Computer is EXTREMELY hard listen to, very aggressive
are we listening to the same album? only song i would categorize as "aggresive" are climbing up the walls.

I always find it tough to rank the albums, HTTT is probably my favourite but I think IR is their best.

dont know why you despise Pablo Honey so much, is a really good album, very powerfull, intense, full of angry. i really enjoy this one every time i listen it
>>64677823
I don't despise PH - some songs like You, Creep, Thinking About You, and Blow Out are perfectly decent - but everything it does, The Bends does much better. And even then, the band very quickly eclipsed even that album in terms of sheer ambition, even if it remains one of their most affecting records in terms of feels alongside In Rainbows.
Best taste coming through:
>Kid A
>In Rainbows
>OK Computer
>Amnesiac
>The Bends
>Hail to the Thief
>The King of Limbs
>Pablo Honey
>>64677666

It's this kind of summer that makes me sick

I'd probably rank it like that if you put HTTT over TKOL.
Anyone that thinks In Rainbows is there best was just a 14 year old when it came out and it was their first "REAL MUSIC"

if we include I might be wrong, we can make a listen-along of the entire discography to the minute the new album is released, that is if we start now

he was referencing the wired post, pleb
If you still think OKC is Radiohead at its best then you don't like Radiohead at all. Even TKOL must be appreciated, especially the live performances.
