Everytime I think I have a favorite, it changes after a few days. At present, I'm liking Like Spinning Plates (live) (I love how Thom has to announce the song to the audience at the beginning), but I just read someone mentioning Electioneering, and I have to say that while I agree it's never been my favorite, there's something about the rawness of that song that gets me going.

I thouroughly enjoyed your description of the tracks, especially the writing for Paranoid Android. It interests me to see what other people make of and take from Radiohead's music.

I like the list, except you are forgetting 2 Radiohead staples. Idioteque and Street Spirit have to be in the top 20.

good work mate..this surely sums up the great works of radiohead.. but" everything in its right place" is not at its right place... deserves a place in top 5

I'm obsessed too, nlferts, so I know you meant to include Talk Show Host (any live version) on your list (f EMI for releasing such a pansy-ass studio version on best of). Thanks, though, for giving props to Wolf. Most people say that Paranoid Android sealed Radiohead's place in history. I somewhat agree, but Wolf proves that they can take any genre and make it their own -- without really trying.

Radiohead are so fucking special. I wish I was special.

No, Creep isn't one of their best songs, but for the brilliance of the lyrics if nothing else, it deserves to make their top 20.

My top 20 (the hardest thing i've ever had to do; I could easily make a top 100):
1. Paraniod Android
2. Fake Plastic Trees
3. Karma Police
4. How to disappear completely
5. Exit Music (for a film)
6. Let Down
7. Reckoner
8. Just
9. Talk Show Host
10. Idioteque
11. There There
12. All I Need
13. No Surprises
14. Lucky
15. Street Spirit (fade out)
16. 15 Step
17. Pyramid Song
18. Nude
19. Airbag
20. Creep

In my opinion they've only ever gone wrong twice.
1. High and Dry
2. Black Star

Your crazy if you don't think OK Computer isn't number one. Whether or not it's their most famous album is irrelevant you can try to be coy and original with that list but it is one of the best albums of all time. Not one song on the album isn't beautiful.

WoW all of these songs in the list are awesome, but I'm shocked and suprised to not seen these two songs at your list too.

Jigsaw falling into place

These two songs are amazing......They're up to bar with paranoid android for my taste, have fun

no one can decide what's best, i guess? in order to make the perfect list we should put all radiohead's songs without any order... nothing's places first and nothing places last

Okay, people need to chill. This is just one persons opinion. We all have our favorites, none of our lists are going to be EXACTLY the same. I think the bottom line here is that you cannot pick just twenty of the best Radiohead songs. It needs to be more like fifty.

Domus — Tue, 26 May 2009 20:08:05 -0000

All i need. What an under rated song!!!!!!! everyone should listen to it again i think and just think about the lyrics meaning.
Its ridiculous!

Esteban — Fri, 01 May 2009 21:08:00 -0000

I think you're missing quite a few, for e.g: Palo Alto, Talk Show Host, There There, How To Disappear Completely, The National Anthem
