hang over's usually do this. i dunno why, maybe the way "everything in its right place" starts, but this is my hang over album

Flippin' love King Of Limbs. It's not something I'd listen to on a bright sunny day, but luckily we don't get many of those around here.

Just finished Amnesiac..and yeah i dont quite like it. Guess its more of a mood thing, i dont know...i think it needs some uptempo song...some good ol rock and roll.

I like this one too:

I know it will never happen but I'd love to hear them rerecord Pablo Honey. There are actually a lot of good (albeit straightforward) songs on the record and if they were to just tweak them a bit I think it could be great.

I don't think "just tweak them a bit" is a proper phrase to use when referring to Radiohead

I'll go ahead and be the asshole that admits that I think Creep is the best song on Pablo Honey. Sorry. But it's a great, great song. Sometimes radio hits deserve to be highly regarded. And the fact that Thom hates on it and dismisses it so frequently just makes me like the thing even more.

creep is a great song...the same with high & dry, for example...Thom should try to write songs again. I mean, actual songs instead of moaning free jazz electronic stuff.

Have Radiohead ever done anything that would qualify as free jazz?

before everyone here starts telling how great they are, it was a JOKE.

Fanboys.

In my view songs like I Might Be Wrong and Knives Out destroy everything on The Bends.

I paid no attention to their first two albums and they sound very vanilla and plain to me now in hindsight. I was an "OK Computer" convert...hearing that album for the first time was a mindblowing experience. I wasn't a big fan of "Kid A" or "Amnesiac" as standalone albums. I thought they should have combined the best songs and made one really strong album, but I know that's an unpopular opinion. I thought "Hail To The Thief" was a really solid, underrated album and I still think "In Rainbows" is their masterpiece. It feels like they're sort of coasting now with the latest one, but the "Staircase/Daily Mail" single is outstanding.

I'm on board with all of this.

apples and oranges. they are 2 of the more "rock n roll" songs on amnesiac, but if i want "some good ol rock n roll" i wouldnt put either of these songs on. although "i might be wrong" is groovy as fuck.

I'm not the hugest fan of TKoL but it has grown on me considerably. Have you seen the Basement performances? I think I should just download those and treat it as the proper album.

I rarely see him singled out as a key member of the band, but Colin Greenwood is a motherfucking boss on the bass guitar.

I made a mix of my favourite Colin songs once. It was awesome.
