A Radiohead list without “Everything in its Right Place” is a travishamockery.

[LoathedVermin72]

A Radiohead list without “Everything in its Right Place” is a travishamockery.

It's #11

That's generous.

I really came to appreciate "Everything In Its Right Place" after hearing Brad Mehldau's interpretation on his "Anything Goes" album. I feel like the musical cleverness of the song, where the foreground melody remains relatively static while the musical motion occurs underneath in the rhythm and in the harmony, comes through a lot clearer when the two parts are played by a left and right hand on a piano, as opposed to an affected keyboard and a human voice with a frequency that tends to dominate the mix. It's still not among my favorite Radiohead songs, but I have grown to like it more over the years:

[epilogue]

Sorry, I thought LV was making a joke. So I replied with a joke.

EIIRP is a good song. It's nowhere near my top 10 but I dig it.

[Norah]

EIIRP would likely fall in my top ten.

[epilogue]

Well, yeah, because you love waking up sucking lemons.

[PHATJ]

It might be my favorite Radiohead song. I knew Kid A was a special album the instant I heard that song open it.

[epilogue]

I wish that album connected with me the way it does so many others. It was the first Radiohead album I bought as a fan. It would have been cool to have experienced that cultural moment the way everyone else did, to have been a part of it in that way.

Actually, I'm not sure I've ever had that experience. Man... that's fucking depressing.

[Norah]

yeah you really missed out here

[epilogue]

yeah you really missed out here

I was so excited when it came out. The day it dropped, I got up early and drove the store to buy it before my early class that morning. I was so excited for it. And then everyone else just lost their minds and I had to wonder if I'd purchased the wrong thing by mistake.

[PHATJ]

That album is a masterpiece in my opinion, and it completely changed the way I thought of Radiohead and it made me a huge fan at the time. I still think that album is brilliant and the best thing they've ever done.

[bodysnatcher]

I’m so geeked that we’re simultaneously talking about radiohead in two different threads

I had a similar experience, Joe. I liked the album, and have grown to like it more over the years, but have never really identified with all the hagiographic salivating over it. Honestly, if I take a step back and look at the bigger picture, that's kind of how I feel about Radiohead in general, though they have two albums ("OK Computer" and "In Rainbows") that are more or less perfect to me, and a lot of other music I really, really like.

We're totally on the same wavelength here.
