Ok I’ll bite.

What are some of the worst Radiohead songs?

Tinker Tailor Soldier...
Dollars & Cents
Backdrifts
Sail to the Moon

Dude Dollars and Cents! Blasphemy

Bronus.....

That's a new one for me.

I get Trag's production concerns. I REALLY wish Binaural, S/T and Earthling sounded better. I've gotten into Bruce a little more as I've aged, but think those early records sound like crap. Neil, however, has never disappointed me with production. MMJ's only stumble was Evil Urges.

Having said that, I'm not turning a negative ear to Dark Matter. I can't wait to put the headphones in.

I really enjoyed about half of Earthling for the first few weeks, but find it unlistenable once the novelty wore off.

And many of those Earthlings songs are so inspired and well written.

Lol at the concept of Radiohead having "terrible" songs. We need a much better reference for terrible song with ace production.

you said "terrible," not me

I was quoting the original proffered scenario (terrible songs with amazing sound)

I listen to the boots as much as the albums, so there's a chance some of these will sound better (or different) live. I wonder if WFS will extend a bit at the end?

I fully respect your right to hate it, btw. Just trying to understand what you mean.

I'm sure there will be lots of elements I'll appreciate and maybe even enjoy. Sounds like Ed and Jeff in particular are in top form. Pity it will be on top of a bed of farting cardboard.

You can criticise the hell out of the production if you want, but I'd still like to hear your thoughts on the songs as compositions/performances.

Tinker Tailor really is boring

Tinker Tailor really is boring

I like the way it kind of goes into James Bond score territory

REALLY hoping the Stern set is stripped down and straightforward

So, no Boom?!
