What Is Radiohead's Best Single

Senor_Whippy · 09-28-2005, 12:04 PM

I've had to narrow this down from 17 to 10 so if your favourite isn't up there i'm sorry.I know I've picked all the well known ones but.....just shut up and vote.

Down to There There and Street Spirit. I picked There There.

Spectrum · 09-28-2005, 12:16 PM

I choose "Paranoid Android".

wait...

Anyway, as much as I love songs like "Just" and "Karma Police", I find that both "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" and "Pyramid Song" are eerily perfect in construction, and I'm sad that neither of them got released in the states (to my knowledge). However, I think "Pyramid Song" is a little better. It has a similar effect on me as "How to Disappear Completely", which is Radiohead's greatest achievement, as well as one of the greatest artistic achievements of recent years... while it may not be quite as good as HTDC, it is still a remarkable song, so I vote "Pyramid Song".

Karma Police

Senor_Whippy · 09-28-2005, 12:19 PM

I choose Street Spirit as it showed that Radiohead were more than just a Rock band and we're capible of doing amazing things.

The Ashtray Girl · 09-28-2005, 12:28 PM

Street Spirit for sure. I adore the video for it as well.

Clunge · 09-28-2005, 01:15 PM

There There is amazing, I love 2+2=5 as well, infact, I just love all the Radiohead singles

MC187 · 09-28-2005, 01:18 PM

Tough choice between Karma Police, Just and High & Dry...I chose H&D.

The_Passenger · 09-28-2005, 02:05 PM

My favourite is probably Karma Police, even if that is a bit cliche. It's a brilliant song though, so I don't really care.

Seriously, where's that song on the list?

Narrowing it down between "Just" and "Street Spirit" is tough. Both rank up there within my favorite Radiohead songs, but for opposite reasons.

mr_jackalope · 09-28-2005, 02:45 PM

Senor Whippy, do you do anything besides make polls concerning bands you like?

Anyway, I voted Knives Out because it really epitomizes the sound of Radiohead.

A Goonie · 09-28-2005, 03:47 PM

Outta those i like Karma Police the best

BringHomeTheBacon · 09-28-2005, 04:43 PM

Would have voted Paranoid Android but I'll go for Karma police.

***Zappa*** · 09-28-2005, 06:13 PM

"Paranoid Android" is one of my favorite Radiohead songs. How about I'll be bold enough to say it is my very favorite Radiohead song.

Sam · 09-28-2005, 06:24 PM

Creep for me. Their first album is really the only one I can stand. The Bends is ok though.

ATM · 09-28-2005, 06:50 PM

Paranoid Android

Happymeal · 09-28-2005, 07:38 PM

My favorites are High and Dry and Fake Plastic Trees.

Wanker · 09-28-2005, 07:42 PM

Fake Plastic Trees all the way.

RollerQueen · 09-28-2005, 08:50 PM

"Street Spirit" because "Paranoid Android" wasn't an option.

***YDload*** · 09-28-2005, 09:48 PM

I didn't know Radiohead had so many singles. The only ones I've heard on the radio were "Creep" and "There There," plus I have seen videos for "Karma Police" and "Knives Out" on VH1 or somesuch.

Anyway I voted for "Street Spirit" because it's probably Radiohead's best song, so if it's a single then yeah.
