Any Radiohead Fans around here? I regard all their albums as masterpieces, however the one that hsines amongs them all is in Rainbows.... A true masterpiece featuring bodysnatchers, Jigsaw Falling into place and Werd Fishes/Arpeggi, what's your favorite album/song?

In absolute agreement! It took me a couple of years before I realised it was probably the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. Nude, House of Cards and Reckoner are my favs on the album, and I love How to Disappear Completely from Kid A, as well as Exit Music (For A Film) and Climbing Up The Walls from OK Computer.

I loved the Bends. I went off them after that. Odd bits are still nice. I liked 'Bodysnatchers' recently.

I love them!! ! :D :D :D "Fake Plastic Trees" and "High And Dry" are the best, and "Karma Police", "Let Down", and "No Surprises" rank close behind. I liked In Rainbows esp. "House of Cards" and "Jigsaw Falling Into Place", though I heard a couple other tracks off the album that I liked as well. True, not as good as their '90s material, but still really pretty (to me).

The only Radiohead song I don't really like is "Creep". Well, all right, I kinda sorta like that one, but it doesn't have the same heart and soul as most of their other stuff. Besides, I heard even Thom Yorke's tired of that one.

Yeah, I'm a pretty big Radiohead fan alright. I love all of their records, but my personal favorite is (as usual :roll:) OK Computer.

My favorite song alternates between "Myxomatosis", "Let Down", "How To Disappear Completely" and the obscure b-side "Killer Cars".

I love Radiohead I could spend hours talking about that band and the genius that goes into making their music. I can't pick an album that's my favorite, my least favorite is Pablo Honey though. At one point all of the others have been my favorite... it's just a brilliant amazing band

Hi all

Love Radiohead.

Wasnt particularly impressed when they first started. To my ears, it just sounded like every other "indie" band of the time. But then... they started developing (like all good bands should). Id say, as a rule... yes, i agree that they can be appear very morose and arnt everyones cup of tea... theyre an aquired taste. But its worth the time you spend with their music. What on the face of it can appear dark and brooding, is actually very uplifting in a chathartic manner. Great to know you're not alone. Even better to find a modern band that sends tingles down my spine.

The weirder they get (weird isnt how id normally discribe them, but i guess they are a bit "weird")... the more i like them. I think they are the cream of the crop in terms of contemporary groups. No-one else really comes close for me to be honest. Progressive, expansive, profound, delicate and sensitive - Not afraid to do what they want to do. which is exactly what they SHOULD be doing!

Anyway, thats my take on it

I'd say some of my favourite tracks from them are...

Knivesout
Pyramid Song
Everything in its right place
lotus flower
Iron Lung
Let Down

i could go on... but you get the picture. Beautiful music for dark times

Oh, and if anyone failed to notice this... check out Rodeohead... very funny indeed. I imagine the Radiohead chaps themselves would be assumed too

They're good, not great, in my opinion.

Pretty good; I've only downloaded two or three of their albums, and I find myself preferring 90s Radiohead over their more modern stuff, though both are good. Favorites are "Creep" and "No Surprises", which are both from the 90s.

I love them but I don't know most of the titles :oops:

But I do like Street spirit (fade out), Creep and the Pyramid song. My Mum hates the pyramid song but I love it because it's in a weird time signature!

Kid A is a masterpiece. And to think I hated it when I first heard it!
I think they're one of the top 3 bands in the world (if not the 1st) when it comes to shear musicality and originality.
Yeah they don't play crazy s**t with millions of notes per second, and they're not very flashy or commercial and accessible.
But who cares about those things.
I'd say if you only like Creep and/or No Surprises and/or Karma Police you don't really like Radiohead, you like those songs.
Their work is best heard as a whole. A true Beethoven fan won't just listen to the last movement of the 9th, he's going to listen to the whole thing.
