Radiohead Band • Page 26

A Moon Shaped Pool is quickly working it's way near the top for me.

In no order, my favorite Radiohead albums are OK Computer, In Rainbows, The King Of Limbs, Hail To The Thief, Kid A, and A Moon Shaped Pool.

Is that fair?

 

Let Down is a perfect song.

 

One of my favorites off OK Computer. Have some strong emotions attached to that track. Well, the entire record really.

 

That, Reckoner and possibly in time Present Tense are some of my favourite songs of all time, so beautiful

 

It's my favourite song on there and might be my second favourite Radiohead song after "Motion Picture Soundtrack".

 

"I will see you in the next life..."

Favourite part of Kid A, apart from maybe the opening of Everything in its right place

 

Climbing Up the Walls is a perfect song

 

I'd have to say In Rainbows is my favorite.

 

When Thom lets out that haunting scream at the end of that song...WHOA

 

It's an incredible song

 

I always liked Electioneering a lot but it's always pointed out as a weak link

 

It's the worst song on OKC sorry guys :'( subterranean homesick alien also isn't as good as the other songs in the ridiculous Airbag -> Let Down run of songs...my opinion tho haha

 

not a bad song on the album, but those are definitely the weakest two.

 

Just listened to OK Computer for the first time in a while, and I forgot how great 'Lucky' is. Such an amazing album.

 

just finished it myself. lucky into tourist is legendary

 

Just found out that Thom is saying "Half of my life" over and over again at the end of Daydreaming, and its put in reverse. Really tragic when you consider literally half of his life was spent with his ex-wife

 

Yeah saw this just after I heard it for the first time, is truly haunting.

Daydreaming honestly is a masterpiece. Best on the album, definitely in their top 10 at least

 

Kid A is the best and will be forever. Probably one of the most divisive and polarizing records of the internet age. While I understand completely why anyone wouldn't like it, the fact that they were bold enough to step that far outside their comfort zone after becoming the pinnacle alt-rock band of the late 90s is what makes it so amazing and unique if you DO like the record. Say what you want about its appeal but it's undeniably highly creative, it uses some chord changes and rhythmic patterns that ive still to this day never heard anywhere else. The production is unbelievable, powerful, wide encompassing, atmospheric, and there are few records that stand up to its ability to get listeners lost in it. It's my favorite album to put on with no distractions and just listen to calmly when I've had a stressful day.

Hail To the Thief and In Rainbows are tied at second. The former has higher highs and several of my top 20 Radiohead songs, the latter is more consistent.

Amnesiac might be above OKC at this point in my life. I'm gravitating more toward cool grooving vibes in music than really angular rock music lately, both as a writer and listener. Its also both weirder at times and catchier than OKC at other times, and thats made it more memorable. OKC still has several brilliant songs for me but I don't get as much magic out of listening to it start to finish as I used to.

TKOL is their worst release in awhile, I like it slightly less than the Bends, but in the grand scheme of things that's still a decent, interesting album, which it is.

I am very excited for Moon Shaped Pool. I've only heard the 3 tracks on Spotify and I love them and am thrilled to hear the rest of Nigel Goodrich's amazing production on it.

 

I'm listening to Amnesiac and it's easily my least favorite so far. Is this a B-sides album or something? It's such a step down in quality that I'm a little confused.

 

It's from the same sessions as Kid A or something iirc but it certainly isn't b-sides. I Might Be Wrong, Like Spinning Plates, Life in a Glasshouse etc all some of their best songs

 

So....aren't they essentially Kid A B-sides then?

 

Shoulda called it Kid B.
