The Official Radiohead Thread

My favourite album of theirs is In Rainbows. It's the one that made me fall in love with them good and proper.

Man, being new I couldn't pass up a Radiohead thread. I have had a long love affair with Thom Yorke. I also love his solo stuff.

Most of my Radiohead friends think that In Rainbows is not so great. I enjoy it. What's your favorite song?

It's hard for me to narrow it down to one but, "Bangers + Mash," "All I Need," and "House of Cards."

Ive always gotten a feeling that Radiohead simply wasn't a band for me. I listened to a bunch of their albums a while back and then kind of gave up. But lately ive been giving them more of a chance so I can at lesst decide what I think about them. I gave Kid A a bunch of listens and its definitely a nice album atmosphere-wise and I definitely didn't dislike it musically. I can also admire the risks releasing such an album was for a rock band. Still, hasnt really shaken my world or anything. Maybe I just expected more due to the hype.

Radiohead grew on me. I outright refused to like them, since all my musically inclined friends raved about them. They have this occult following and I didn't really want to be a part of it. I had heard "Creep" a gazillion times and I was over it. Little did I know Radiohead was so much more than that.

After hearing "No Surprises" and "Karma Police" I was pretty interested. I also really enjoy "Electioneering" (If you haven't heard the Cold War Kids cover you should most def check it out), "Lucky", I could go on. I love pretty much all of OK Computer. (I know most people are over it, I just so happen to not be).

Then The Bends introduced me to "High and Dry" and I was done for. I also love Kid A and In Rainbows.

I also like Yorke's solo work. I do not have it, but listen to "The Eraser" and "Black Swan" often enough.

Reckoner is the song that REALLY hit home with me at first, so I'd have to say that.

In Rainbows, as i've asserted countless a time, is not my favorite, but it's nice, and i would say Videotape or 15 Step for sure, maybe Reckoner and Jigsaw Falling Into Place as runnerups.

Kid A is one of the most amazing albums ever, and imo, the absolute best of Radiohead.
It has a surreal, outworldly quality to it which is not very common.

All of them plebeians mentioning nothing but In Rainbows' a-sides.

While my favs are from the a-sides, that doesn't mean that your life is complete if you haven't listened to the b-sides. For Yorke's sake, Go Slowly and 4 Minute Warning are amazing.

just so happens i'm listening to King of Limbs

still am of the view it's pretty good
