Weekly Poll: Favorite Radiohead Album • Page 2

AMSP has the most personal lyrics Thom has ever written IMO and I really appreciated seeing that side for once.

 

I personally love the album version of tlw, just the sorrowful take on the track speaks to me idk.

 

A Moon Shaped Pool is one of those records that came out at the perfect point in my life, it immediately resonated with me

 

Also I think TLW wasn’t fan service and had more to do with Thom’s separation

 

Tough to choose between In Rainbows and Hail To The Thief, but I think the highs are higher on Rainbows.

In Rainbows
Hail To The Thief
Amnesiac
Kid A
The Bends
OK Computer
A Moon Shaped Pool
The King Of Limbs
Pablo Honey

 

In Rainbows is their most accessible. And it’s concise as hell there is no wasted moment. But also the songwriting is just really great. It’s the obvious best pick really.

 

OKC

 

In Rainbows is the best. Just such a perfect mix of creative & accessible, & also very sleek. It's so good that, when I tried at different times to get more into other albums of theirs, I'd often just end up back there.

OK Computer is the only one that, at one point in the evolution of my listening habits, could've been my favorite instead. What they're going for on In Rainbows is just a lot more appealing to me, but OK Computer is still obviously quite good.

I said this in another thread yesterday, but the other album of theirs that's surprisingly settled into my top 3 is, honestly, The King of Limbs. It's the only Radiohead album to come out during a time when the prospect of a new Radiohead album was actively exciting to me, & perhaps because of that I was initially "meh" on it. In recent years, though, it's become my third or maybe second favorite album of theirs to just vibe to.

 

a lot of people are unfair to TKOL but I think it’s indulgence is admirable. it does feel like an EP or something though.

 

Half of TKOL is great the other half is okay.

 

I can see why it'd feel like an EP to someone, but to me, it just feels like a super concise, effective album that's exactly the right length for what it's doing. And, I quite enjoy what it's doing.

 

Kid A
In Rainbows
Amnesiac
OK Computer
The Bends
The King of Limbs
Hail to the Thief
A Moon Shaped Pool
Pablo Honey

 

1. Kid A
2. In Rainbows

3. A Moon Shaped Pool
4. OK Computer
5. The Bends

6. Amnesiac
7. Hail to the Thief
8. The King of Limbs

9. Pablo Honey

 

TKOL, Kid A and In Rainbows are IMO the three radiohead masterpieces. Always bums me out seeing TKOL rated so low.

Give up the Ghost is maybe the best song of all time.

 

Kid A
In Rainbows
OK Computer
Amnesiac
A Moon Shaped Pool
Hail to the Thief
The Bends
The King of Limbs
Pablo Honey

 

Did a double take when I read this sentence haha. I respect your opinion, but that’s...quite a take.

 

TKOL is definitely an underrated gem. My second favourite after Kid A, easily.

 

I fixed it

 

whats the best radiohead song though? id probably go with pyramid song, but weird fishes and karma police are not far behind.

has a bracket been done for that? i imagine it has

 

I think if I attempted to pick one favourite song my head would explode

 

Couldn’t do it. They probably have 50 songs that would be my favorite song from any other band.

gun to my head maybe Climbing Up The Walls

 

The dumbest thing about my opinion is that even though I think Give up the Ghost might be best song ever, Motion Picture Soundtrack is my fave Radiohead song.

 

There are so many songs that could compete for best song, but I'll probably pick Videotape.

 

in rainbows obviously

 

I'd probably go w/ "House of Cards" for my fav song of theirs.
