What is their greatest song?
2 + 2 = 5
creep
>>65598252
Weird Fishes is the correct answer
>>65598273
Correct
>>65598294
pretty much this, not even a radiohead fan and i love this song
Street Spirit
>>65598252
karma police
I mean, Paranoid Android is basically the ultimate Radiohead song and one of the greatest songs OAT... that being said, I do love me some Weird Fishes.
>>65598273
Is there actually any good songs on HTTT
Lucky
Mk 2
>>65598417
I think it's their best album fampai
>>65598466
TKOL is better than that turd
>>65598417
it's loaded with great song m8
my two favorites are Sail to The Moon and A Wolf At The Door
Pyramid Song or Climbing Up the Walls or Separator
>>65598408
i was gonna say paranoid android but it seemed like too obvious an answer
Pyramid Song
Reckoner or we suck young blood or pyramid song I can't decide.
Fake Plastic Trees
>>65598543
>Separator
good job m8. i dont get the hate for TKOL honestly i think HTTT is worse
>>65598252
Ignore meme answers.
Fake Plastic Trees
High and Dry
True Love Waits is the best love song of all time
Idioteque
Supermassive Black Hole
Their greatest song could possibly be These Are My Twisted Words.
>>65598594
>Fake Plastic Trees
>High and Dry
I didn't realize Chris Martin posts on this board
Weird fishes/Arpeggi or Bloom
>>65598558
it is too obvious of an answer, but it's the correct answer. there are songs that mean more to me, especially many of those on In Rainbows and even some of these on AMSP are super, but in terms of their "greatest", Paranoid Android.

By no means a bad song. But their *greatest*?
>>65598983
objectively correct
>>65598764
if you REALLY are asking for a "single" song, this.
paranoid android packs so much shit into one song, great melody, groovy breakdown, ass ripping solo, gorgeous mournful interlude harmonies, before returning to noise and ending abrubtly. fucking mind blowing, would be a good "show this song to the aliens" track.
also, keep in mind that they play it at EVERY fucking concert, because they know its such a crowd pleaser and standby, and classic.
its the song that really took OK computer to a level of "genius" for me when i first heard it
>>65598983
this really is what life in the 2000s sounded like

Not filler because they were actually trying even though it was shitty, filler is not filler without intent
My favorite radiohead song is we suck young blood, it pretty much hits every radiohead note, criticizing normies and being depressing, and also you can clap along.
Are you hungry?
Are you sick?
Are you begging for a break?
Are you sweet?
Are you fresh?
Are you strung up by the wrists?
We want the young blood
Are you fracturing?
Are you torn at the seams?
Would you do anything?
Flea-bitten? Moth eaten?

this is a blue board m8
>>65598417
all the tracks are solid, the reason its disliked is because the album isn't going anywhere, theres no consistency its just a bunch of good songs after the other.
imo its the most mainstreamish album along with the bends

Will they ever re;ease the 14 minute version of Paranoid Android?
>>65598252
There there according to zizekian
>>65598417
There are a couple but half of it is just shitty, undercooked filler.
Is it just me or is HTTT missing all of the minute details that characterized OKC and Kid A.
I think it's quite telling that they recorded it in just two weeks, it's like they didn't even bother to polish the songs to make them sound as entrancing as possible.

Disliking Idioteque is a meme.
What I mean by that is that people say they dislike Idioteque because we all agreed long ago that it was the best Radiohead song until someone decided they wanted to be cool and started saying it sucked. To say that Idioteque is a bad song is objectively false.
>>65603146
Not even top 5 on Kid A
Has thom ever said what his favorite radiohead song is? I know he said HTDC once but that was a long time ago.

Hail To The Thief is one of my favorite albums by them, it's just kinda incoherent/unfocused, while King of Limbs is almost too coherent and focused. Their best records (OKC, Kid A, IR) are when they find a sound/mood and take each song in a different direction from that. Hail To The Thief felt like taking a bunch of songs with different directions and making a semi-decent tracklisting out of them

How is it that no one said Reckoner? That song is the only song that actually brings tears to my eyes from Prue beauty.
>>65601011
r u me
>>65605157
It's kind of formulaic for me.
The best songs on IR are the linear ones, Arpeggi, Bodysnatchers, Jigsaw.
Staircase is my current fave
>MY POD IS FULL
>LET ME TAKE CONTROL
>>65604349
For a time -- that was before Kid A came out though
>>65600730
Can't believe this isn't more widely accepted.
>>65600730
Why is this song so revered? It's okay, but it's the worst on kid a.
>>65598906
this is the correct answer
it's such a shame they never managed to play it live well, here's hoping they try again at least once
>>65605591
Think of it this way, it's essentially about Thom (or someone) committing suicide because they feel they can no longer deal with themselves or having someone else being emotionally dependent on them. Kid A is all about Thom dealing with his depression, and this song is basically his way of saying "goodbye" should it ultimately come to that conclusion. It's the perfect ending.
>>65605591
As part of an album it's pretty flawless.
It doesn't stand on its own though.

>>65601011
very refined and great taste lad. we have very close tastes. I would also put separator and bloom in there. both sound so good live.
give up the ghost
or idioteque
plus shouts out to motion picture soundtrack, somehow underrated even though it is the closer on probably mu's favorite album fpp
Creep.
If you don't agree, you're a faggot contrarian who hates Nirvana because they were more successful than the one hit wonder band that is Radiohead.
>>65605713
they did once. its on some bootleg i have. think it can be found with some googling.
>>65598252
>What is their greatest song?
let down
idioteque, videotape, no surprises.
I never see Knives Out given the love it deserves. I think the melodic hook is very catchy while the guitar plays around some cool chords. Am>A,Dm>D7 in the chorus feels really nice.
Plus, I like how it fits into Amnesiac. The beginning of the record is slower, this song helps bring the energy up a little, while really setting the creepy mood.
>>65599497
>Radiohead album
>Great
Top jej.
>>65606213
??
I think that Nirvana was slightly better than Radiohead and Creep is definitely not Radiohead's best song.
How to disappear completely
Reckoner
There There
>>65606213
i hate creep, not because i think it's a terrible song necessarily, but because to most people that's the song that represents radiohead, which is a massive fucking shame
>>65607160
I think it's kind of neat how much they've evolved though.
It's insane to think they went from Creep to masterpieces like Weird Fishes and The National Anthem.
Everything in its Right Place

Amnesiac, Hail to the Thief and A Moon Shaped Pool are my favourite radiohead albums. Fight me.

>>65606765
Yessss
>>65606765
its literally the same progression as Paranoid Android
No Surprises probably. But could be interchanged with Idioteque, Knives Out, Kid A, or Daydreaming
>>65603306
His new favorite is True love waits.
>>65603306
he called There, There "the best thing we have put to tape"
The Bends: Just.
OKC: Paranoid Android
Kid A: Idiotique / HTDC
HTTF: There there / Myxo
IR: Weird fishes / reckoner
TKOL: Bloom / Codex
AMSP: Ful Stop / Decks dark
B-sides / other songs: Poly / These are my twisted / Orgy / Fog / Staircase
Live: Bloom (Paris '15) / Idiotique (SNL) / Fake plastic trees (Glaston 2003).
Those are their greatest.

Probably the most uplifting song I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. Existential Thom is vocalizing an emotional metamorphasis manifested with the overwhelming feeling of freedom one experiences when they find themselves with nothing left to lose. 'Let Down' picks up where Kafka's 'Metamorphosis' protagonist, a grotesque man-turned-insect, is giving up hope in his life's worth and contemplating whether society would be better off if he were dead. The insect creature, in great despair, eventually decides to die alone in his room.
'Let Down' is so inspiring because Yorke doesn't give up hope; he has faith he will endure the insect stage and the crushing societal torment it brings; one day he is going to develop into a butterfly and be free. Existence precedes essence. Thom isn't looking for anyone's pity as it only ends up drivel. It's useless anyways because he has to do it for himself -- he must break through the artificial identity society has defined for him which he knows will inevitably crumble. He must develop his authentic identity from within so that he may have something of substance to bounce back up off of after his fake world breaks down. Only when his existence is authentic to himself can he have freedom.
