This fanboy adores music by Radiohead, and while we had a topic listing songs in Top 10s & Lists some time back, I wanted to do a poll with ten of my favourites, covering ten releases. I thought about combining this with Kayo Dot but will keep it simple. "Blow Out" (Pablo Honey, 1993) "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" (The Bends, 1995) "Exit Music (For a Film)" (OK Computer, 1997) "How to Disappear Completely" (Kid A, 2000) "Pyramid Song" (Amnesiac, 2001) "There, There" (Hail to the Thief, 2003) "Reckoner" (In Rainbows, 2007) "Supercollider" (The King of Limbs, 2011) "Spectre" (Spectre, single, 2015) "Daydreaming" (A Moon Shaped Pool, 2016) Feel free to vote for up to three and please mention your own particular favourites. I made a playlist to check out the songs if you like: ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

| Ok Computer, Kid A and In Rainbows. Their albums are all quite homogeneous maybe accept OK Computer. I will likely give the tracks a proper listen when I'm on the road next week (for work) and stuck in a hotel room. |

Love all ten of these. For 1-6 underneath (+ the 9th) I would
probably have selected the same songs to represent the album. While
great as they are, personally I know I would have considered a handful
of other songs from both In Rainbows and King of the Limbs over "Reckoner" and "Supercollider" "Pyramid Song" (Amnesiac, 2001) "There, There" (Hail to the Thief, 2003) "Daydreaming" (A Moon Shaped Pool, 2016) "Exit Music (For a Film)" (OK Computer, 1997) "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" (The Bends, 1995) "Reckoner" (In Rainbows, 2007) "Spectre" (Spectre, single, 2015) "Blow Out" (Pablo Honey, 1993) "Supercollider" (The King of Limbs, 2011) |

How to Disappear Completely. I usually become one with a plastic straw dispenser in an otherwise terrestrial eating establishment. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

Yes, all are great tracks. I heard a couple of Radiohead songs before 1997, but those didn't attract my attention more than that (good indie-rock, but not much more...). Then, at the end of 1996, I saw Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet: the film was already quite a good surprise, but that music at the end of it was just stunning (of course, also because it was at the end of that film...). Bought the soundtracks of the film (yes, they released two OSTs at the same time) and when a couple of months later OK Computer came out I didn't hesitate. Since then Radiohead is one of my favourite non-prog bands and I still consider that album as one of the best of the decade. Kid A is maybe the album I prefer nowadays, but there is no album since that I don't like. So, from these tracks, I'd chose Exit Music (for a film), How to Disappear Completely, and a bit more randomly Daydreaming... ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

^ If choosing just three, that three would work well for me. Excellence.
While I downloaded In Rainbows at the time of release, I have not listened to that album much in considerable years. And The King of Limbs I have not listened to much. Never-the-less, "Reckoner" was a standout and "Supercollider" I really like in the context of this playlist (provides some contrast that I like). I listened again to the debut yesterday, which is what spurred on this poll. I had barely listened to it before, knew "Creep" well (and like it) and "Blow Out" really impressed. I feel like it could fit well on a later Radiohead album. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

I had a student whose favourite film was Romeo + Juliet. I like "Talk Show Host". Radiohead is something I slowly got more and more into over time. The HBO series Westworld is one of my very favourite TV shows and I feel they have used Radiohead so beautifully and that almost cinematic experience (I do love atmosphere) got Radiohead more under my skin. Not to open a can of worms, but while I too don't think of Radiohead as Prog genre, nor Kate Bush and many other things in PA, I am happy with it here and do find such art rock with an air of experimentalism suitable for PA. I put it under the greater progressive umbrella. I also have felt that it is, and I know mnay hate this term, a has been underrated by considerable numbers at the forum here who have been very dismissive of the music while knowing very little of the music. I have seen it stated that it is really overrated at Rate Your Music due to how well various albums do in its General Charts, while dismissing the quality of the music and its influence. Like it or not, that's fine, value it yourself or not, but be careful when assigning how much value others should give it. I say underrated by those because I don't think they have solid ground to assess the music's worth both for themselves and for others, and the claims have I think shown ignorance by calling it just, as I once read, another lame Britpop band or just some depressing drivel, only good for slitting your wrists too as one put it at PA. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.
