I’d also love to hear stories about how it moved you on your first or 100th time listening to it.
I think it’s really impossible to pick just one, but gun to my head, I’d pick Weird Fishes. It’s got strong energy, but it’s still introspective and emotional, great backing vocals, great Thom vocals, and as a bassist I love a lot of the bass work in that song.
One of my favourite pieces of music, a treat for the ears and soul. Love the arrangement of the arppegiated guitars and rhodes piano, and ya when the bass kicks into the second half it rules.
The opener, 15 Step. I mean, it doesn’t live up to Creep, but nothing ever will.
I honestly don’t get the love for Creep. Ig it’s catchy, but musically, it might be one of the most boring Radiohead songs. I’ve heard that even Thom Yorke hates the song
Reckoner! It’s got the most enthusiastic procession I can think of in a song.
House of cards is one that has grown into me for the emotional content. Love weird fishes /arpeggio and all the others but that one is the one from in rainbows that I like a lot this season.
Love house of cards too, especially the lyrics, the second verse is beautiful.
The entire album is incredible, but I would say Videotape. Simply awesome. The syncopation is great even if I haven’t looked into it much. I honestly thought the repetiotnnof “in videotape” was weird but now its really grown on me. The entire album has really grown on me, my first listen I thought it was good but nothing special. Now its one of my favorite albums of all time. Kid A is still the best Radiohead album, though.
I think the whole album is great from start to finish.
When it cuts out and it’s just the rhodes is so good.

My favorites:
- Jigsaw Falling into Place
- Reckoner
- Bodysnatchers
- 4 Minute Warning
Never heard the album before, so I skimmed it.
Bodysnatcher has a really cool riff that I’m trying to instrumentally wrap my head around.I will get back to you in 42min. and 38sec.
After listening to the album it was underwhelming. It was good and sometimes great. I can’t call it a “masterpiece”
My favourite was “15 step”. It had nice and interesting percussion.
All I need in 1:40 was a highlight and ending of Videotape had also nice rhythm.
I definitely listened to better albums.
For me it’s either Weird Fishes or Jigsaw Falling into Place. They are both so nice to get lost in the rhythm.
Can I pick something off Disk 2? It’s Bangers + Mash.
The lyrics, Thom’s crazed singing, the way the instruments drop out and back in throughout the verses, the stumbling overlapped drum patterns, the opposing guitars, 1 repetitive and monotonous and the other with a frantic riff…
If we’re talking on the album, it’s Jigsaw Falling into Place. Bodysnatchers, 15 Step, Weird Fishes, and House of Cards are all very close though.
I know I’ll get down-voted for this, but it’s pronounced overratediohead.
Lmao, don’t say that, it might hurt their feelings!!!
Oh, also, if Radiohead doesn’t tickle you, what do you enjoy instead?
You should probably reply to the user’s comment, not your own lol. They won’t see this
Have you actually given their stuff a chance? I feel like they have something for a lot of different tastes. Unless you only like power ballads or something
Then listen to the Smile, from Tom Yorke.
