I also left out all of kid A and amnesiac because I think he should listen to those albums as a whole.

Any thoughts? adds changes?My bias is also showing a little(weren't into their earlier stuff)[/QUOTE]

OPTIMISTIC is on kid A.

He's most a pop radio guy so I want to ease him in without scaring him away

Here's what I'm thinking (not in order)

1.Just
2.There there
3.Karma police
4.2+2 = 5
5.weird fishes
6.Letdown
7.optimistic
8.Jigsaw falling into place
9.Reckoner
10.Myxomatosis

This was hard for me. I wanted to put in tracks that I thought were easy to listen to when I first got into radiohead. I also left out all of kid A and amnesiac because I think he should listen to those albums as a whole.

While I am not too much of a fan of Creep, I think you should put it on there, it's very accessible. Also, does your friend like ballads? If he does, maybe you should put Codex on that list.

Radiohead figure promently in my dreams last night. I think they were in the town I now live playing a benefit gig for the drum technician who died in the stage collapse the other day because he actually did come from this town.

Hail to the Thief, Kid A and Ok Computer all great albums. Voted for Hail to the Theif even though it's a hard choice.

Dude put Idioteque on there. It's not necessarily accessible, but it might be one of the catchiest songs they've ever done. I know a few people who really don't like Radiohead at all but love that song.

Paranoid Android and The National Anthem are my favorite post-Bends singles, but I definitely prefer listening to Radiohead's albums rather than songs, unless that song is Creep, since Pablo Honey is admittedly weak overall.

Fitter Happier? Every song off of TKoL is better than that.
