MAGNIFICENT: Beautiful Radiohead Songs

NordicMindset 09.06.13	could have just included all of them (well, except for 75% of pablo)
MAGNIFICENT 09.06.13	I could man. I just picked the more calm songs on their catalogue. "Balladish" if you will.
Millstone 09.06.13	and except for 50% of limbs
StallionMang 09.06.13	Nah, Limbs is beautiful in its own way.
NordicMindset 09.06.13	list needs everything in its right place
Millstone 09.06.13	THE NATIONAL ANTHEM IS NOT ON THIS LIST WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN
MAGNIFICENT 09.06.13	The National Anthem is not the kind of song that would make you shed your face in tears, Millstone. But it sure is amazing as hell! And yes, greenlinkinmuse, let me take out Creep for that one xD
Rowan5215 09.06.13	Needs more Give up the Ghost if you ask me. Those layered vocals.
ButteryBiscuitBass 09.06.13	Guys time out on the RH now please. Great, great band, but come on. This is the 80th list I've seen this week!
slidenslip 09.06.13	Don't make me listen to the stupid broken record again The needle's skippin' and repeatin' never reaching the end You know you're bitching and complaining like you've got it so tough We're sick of all your crying will you ever shut up? So keep bleeding your fake blood 'till no one even sees it If that's the best you can make up at least act like you mean it [Chorus] Give up the grudge [Clean:] Better shut your mouth [Explicit:] Shut your fucking mouth why you gotta judge everybody but yourself Take a look around you There ain't nobody home I may be a loser But at least I'm not alone Your mercedes won't start Yeah that's a crying shame I guess 90K a year buys nothing but complaints The people in my neighborhood think that I'm a threat While the boss gets richer they get deeper in debt! So keep bleeding your fake blood 'till no one even sees it If that's the best you can make up at least act like you mean it
MAGNIFICENT 09.06.13	Rowan, COMPLETELY forgot that song, thanks for the reminder.
Rowan5215 09.06.13	Nice job dude it's an incredible song. Can't really fault it otherwise, although Thinking About You is quite a beautiful and underrated song from Pablo Honey.
Chrisjon89 09.06.13	always happy if 2 is present
Minus. 09.06.13	Why does everyone hate Limbs so much?
Rowan5215 09.06.13	Dunno, the second half of Limbs is transcendence.
avonbarksdale221 09.06.13	They have way too many songs that fit this description. 3 is 1 though.
ConorIsNotHere 09.06.13	I'LL DROWN MY BELIEFS TO HAVE YOUR BABIES
Rowan5215 09.06.13	I'm a reasonable man Get off my case, get off my case
avonbarksdale221 09.06.13	^ This a thousand times I'M NOT LIVING I'M JUST KILLING TIME Never heard Thom pleading like that.
avonbarksdale221 09.06.13	JUST DON'T LEAVE
demigod! 09.06.13	rats and children will follow me out of town Rats and children will follow me out of tow-wn come on kids puttat ta dun un unnnnn un un un un putta dun unnnnnn ununununun ~synth~
avonbarksdale221 09.06.13	The synth at the 3 minute mark is pure bliss
demigod! 09.06.13	then that playful melody comes back in Oh man
Rowan5215 09.06.13	Actually Morning Bell should be here, even if it's as disturbing as it is beautiful, still. CUT THE KIIIIIIIDS IN HAAAAAALF
avonbarksdale221 09.06.13	No words
MeatSalad 09.06.13	No fog? No list!
Rowan5215 09.06.13	Oh fuck yeah Fog is mad, and Fog (Again) too. there's a little chiiiiild running round this hoouuuuuse and he never leeeeeaves he will never leeeeeave
avonbarksdale221 09.06.13	truth
ConorIsNotHere 09.06.13	Can we agree that only 30 beautiful radiohead songs are not enough?
Rowan5215 09.06.13	yee
MeatSalad 09.06.13	also gagging order. List is missing a lot of good b-sides n shit
Rowan5215 09.06.13	Well it has Last Flowers which is like king of Radiohead b-sides so that's something
demigod! 09.06.13	ive only heard like one radiohead b side once
demigod! 09.06.13	it was good
Rowan5215 09.06.13	It had better be Last Flowers demi
MeatSalad 09.06.13	Radiohead has the best b-sides Demi, enough good shit to make at least 4 more albums worth a 4.5 each
demigod! 09.06.13	it was something from the airbag/how is my driving EP i think
avonbarksdale221 09.06.13	Because we separate like ripples on a blank shore
Rowan5215 09.06.13	Yeah they fucking kill it with b-sides dude you should jam LF
avonbarksdale221 09.06.13	Polyethylene? Song rules. Or maybe Talk Show Host?
demigod! 09.06.13	IDK but it was groovy
Rowan5215 09.06.13	Was probably Talk Show Host that's like one of their most famous songs regardless of being a b-side
MeatSalad 09.06.13	Go slowly is king
avonbarksdale221 09.06.13	Talk Show Host is groovy, although it was the Street Spirit b-side. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yU7sUENatUU
demigod! 09.06.13	nope, not that one it was like a bassier, gazier airbag
avonbarksdale221 09.06.13	not sure, sorry man. either way, check out some of their b-sides, they rule.
Rowan5215 09.06.13	Also, "How Is My Driving" demi? It's How Am I Driving lolol
demigod! 09.06.13	my b And I think it was "meeting in the aisle"
qwe3 09.06.13	so you mean like all of them
MAGNIFICENT 09.06.13	Rowan, I must add Thinking About You, truly gorgeous, once again thank you for the reminder. And Morning Bell is amazing, but disturbing, yeah. YOU CAN KEEP THE FURNITURE.
Rowan5215 09.06.13	Good stuff Magnificent, yeah Morning Bell creeps me the fuck out but it's beautiful, both versions. WHERE'D YOU PARK THE CAR?
YourDarkAffected 09.06.13	Needs Idioteque. The way he sings "HERE I'M ALLOWED EVERYTHING ALL OF THE TIME" always gets me.
Rowan5215 09.06.13	Idioteque is incredible but I wouldn't call it aesthetically "beautiful" in the way the listmaker was intending.
YourDarkAffected 09.06.13	Also Identikit. Synth in the middle is stunning
YourDarkAffected 09.06.13	I would, but I know what you mean.
Rowan5215 09.06.13	Fair enough. What's Identikit?
YourDarkAffected 09.06.13	it's one of the songs they debuted on their 2012 tour. I assume they wrote it during the TKOL sessions, but just didn't use it for the album or any eps. Shame because it's an amazing song. Check it out on youtube.
Rowan5215 09.06.13	Sweet will do
YourDarkAffected 09.06.13	They have a few other TKOL bonus ones like Cut A Hole and Full Stop. Identikit is probably the best out of them though.
Rowan5215 09.06.13	Yeah there were a shitload of songs like The Daily Mail, Staircase and Supercollider that really should've made it onto TKOL so it was actually the length of an album rather than an EP, it pisses me off.
YourDarkAffected 09.07.13	Yea, I agree. Staircase is awesome. I would have easily taken that and Supercollider over Morning Mr. Magpie and Little by Little.
YourDarkAffected 09.07.13	Idk if it would have flowed right, but both those tracks are better.
Rowan5215 09.07.13	Agreed entirely, those two are the weakest by far. I reckon it would've flowed well although I'd include the Daily Mail as well so it was a 9-track album.
tommygun 09.07.13	nah kol is perfect
YourDarkAffected 09.07.13	yea, maybe people would dig TKOL more if it were the case. I still love it, but I'll admit I'm a pretty biased Radiohead fan. Even though In Rainbows frustrates me in many ways, I still have it at a 4.5.
Rowan5215 09.07.13	Nah tommy Little by Little and Morning Mr. Magpie are pretty meh, Daily Mail/Staircase/Supercollider are way better. I'll probs 4.5 In Rainbows as well, House of Cards is really boring but the rest is incredible.
YourDarkAffected 09.07.13	exactly! I just don't see the appeal of House of Cards. It's one of the worst Radiohead songs period imo.
tommygun 09.07.13	i love both those songs the other songs are very great too but albums aren't just about best individual songs it's about which songs vibe together the best and they fuckin knocked it outta the park on kol, prob their most cohesive record for my money (with in rainbows) but yeah they have like twenty 6/5 b-sides best fuckin band
Rowan5215 09.07.13	Yeah it kinda sucks haha. If they'd replaced that one with Last Flowers on the album - easy, EASY 5/5 right there.
Rowan5215 09.07.13	Yeah I know what you mean tommy but they still coulda done better imo.
YourDarkAffected 09.07.13	It's scary how much we think alike on this subject, Rowan
Rowan5215 09.07.13	Haha it's cool though. What's your all-time favourite RH song man?
YourDarkAffected 09.07.13	But yea, I love that they record so much material outside of their albums and that the quality is still so good.
YourDarkAffected 09.07.13	That's a hard one. It's changed over time but I think the one that means the most to me is Airbag because it was the first song I heard by them when I checked them out and it was also the first song they played when I saw them live. Most emotional moment I've ever had in a concert. Other top contenders though are Exit music, There There, Idioteque, and Street Spirit
Rowan5215 09.07.13	Fair enough. I'm only a recent Radiohead fan myself, but my favourite thus far might be one of No Surprises, Morning Bell, Nude, All I Need, Videotape, or literally anything off the second half of TKOL. It really is a hard one.
YourDarkAffected 09.07.13	Yea, that 4 song streak from Lotus Flower to Separator is perfect. Codex and Give up the Ghost are close. I'm not sure which I dig more
MAGNIFICENT 09.07.13	YourDarkAffected, never listened to those TKOL bonus tracks, must do it! Thanks for mentioning them : )
Rowan5215 09.07.13	Yeah Codex and Give up the Ghost are just god-tier, I reckon Codex might just have the edge though. Get it, cos "jump off the edge"? Yeah okay, that was bad.
YourDarkAffected 09.07.13	Haha nice. I actually like Codex more than Pyramid Song I think. I'm sure that's not a popular opinion, but the mood of it is perfect.
avonbarksdale221 09.07.13	Lol. Give Up The Ghost live was sooo good.
YourDarkAffected 09.07.13	Same with Give up the Ghost. It has such a unique vibe
Rowan5215 09.07.13	I never thought that Pyramid Song was one of the best from Amnesiac tbh, maybe it needs more spins. But Morning Bell >
YourDarkAffected 09.07.13	Yea as far as piano tracks on Amnesiac I think Like Spinning Plates is top though. Have you heard the live version of it?
avonbarksdale221 09.07.13	Dude, Pyramid Song is like top 5 RH songs IMO. The Lyrics are some of the best of Thom's career and he puts in a brilliant vocal performance. The moment the drums kick in is amazing, and the strings that weave their way through the second verse are absolutely haunting. 6/5 song.
avonbarksdale221 09.07.13	Like Spinning Plates live >
YourDarkAffected 09.07.13	Yea, and music theory wise it's a pretty fascinating track. It's 4/4 but the feel if it so strange that it doesn't seem 4/4. It only becomes apparent as such when the drums come in.
Rowan5215 09.07.13	Nah I haven't heard Like Spinning Plates live, I'll check it sometime.
avonbarksdale221 09.07.13	Majestic song.
YourDarkAffected 09.07.13	If we are including live versions for most beautiful Radiohead tracks, I would say Like Spinning Plates is no. 1
avonbarksdale221 09.07.13	Song transcends. For me, Reckoner > Just too beautiful.
Rowan5215 09.07.13	RH's hard-rocking and beat-driven songs are great, but it's the simple piano ones that hit the hardest for me. Particularly Last Flowers, Videotape, and Fog (Again), which are heartbreaking.
avonbarksdale221 09.07.13	You speak the truth. They make me feels things like no other band can.
Rowan5215 09.07.13	Those three songs have almost brought me to tears before. I seriously wanna hear Videotape before I die.
MAGNIFICENT 09.07.13	They're my favorite band for something, avon. Everytime I listen to them I smile. Or I cry. Or I get crazy. Or I feel all of these three things at the same time. It's the power of Radiohead.
MAGNIFICENT 09.07.13	Never listened to disc 2 of Amnesiac guys. Must do it.
MAGNIFICENT 09.07.13	And yeah, 30 Radiohead songs is NOT enough.
Rowan5215 09.07.13	When I'm at the pearly gates...
MAGNIFICENT 09.07.13	That song is beyond amazing.
Notaflower 09.07.13	http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuQteIBxpCA
avonbarksdale221 09.07.13	Totally get that Rowan bro. Reckoner is being played at my funeral, that is non negotiable. Probably WYWH as well. Absolutely Magnificent, there is something so special about them. They always seem to have these moments in their songs that are just perfect. Be it the bridge in Let Down, the climax in All I Need, the backing vocals in Weird Fishes, they just transcend.
avonbarksdale221 09.07.13	Jonny can speak French? Who knew
Rowan5215 09.07.13	Oh yeah WYWH as well for sure haha, I dig Radiohead hard but PF > Jammin Like Spinning Plates live now on your rec bro.
MAGNIFICENT 09.07.13	Radiohead and Floyd are my two favorite bands, but I must say Radiohead > Pink Floyd.
Rowan5215 09.07.13	Fair enough, but lyrically and vocally I'd have to say I'd prefer Floyd even if Radiohead may be a bit more consistent (barring Pablo Honey lol).
avonbarksdale221 09.07.13	I honestly can't split them. That Give Up The Ghost performance was fucking amazing.
avonbarksdale221 09.07.13	Thom > Dave and Rick vocally (sorry Rowan).
CK 09.07.13	How the shit does one not include Subterranean Homesick Alien to a list such as this?
MAGNIFICENT 09.07.13	Lyrically Floyd better than Radiohead? I don't think so, Thom has got that paranoic and terrific feel to his lyrics that makes them so passionate and so phenomenal. And he's a better vocalist than Dave, Rick and Roger together, he's one of my favorites if not my favorite vocalist.
Rowan5215 09.07.13	Nah Dave and Rick >>>> Thom for me. Let's be honest, Thom does mumble his lyrics sometimes and it can get annoying.
MAGNIFICENT 09.07.13	CK, that's the only song in OK Computer that never really touched me.
Rowan5215 09.07.13	Thom's lyrics I'm not really sure what to make of, sometimes they're brilliant sometimes they're just eyebrow-raising, but in my opinion Waters is one of the best lyricists ever and Thom doesn't come close.
avonbarksdale221 09.07.13	I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely I'd show them the stars and the meaning of life They'd shut me away, but I'd be alright Needs to be at least 50 spots on this list.
Atrophy 09.07.13	i stand by the argument that the end section of where i end and you begin is the best thing the band ever did
avonbarksdale221 09.07.13	Agreed, Roger > Thom lyrically
Rowan5215 09.07.13	Roger > Thom lyrically [2]
avonbarksdale221 09.07.13	@Atrophy, its up there for sure. Such an underrated track,
MAGNIFICENT 09.07.13	I like that torture in Thom's lyrics because I actually identify with it. Oh well, each one to their own opinion, gotta have respect. But Waters is an amazing lyricist, one of the best lyricists ever too. And yeah, Where I End And You Begin is 6/5.
Rowan5215 09.07.13	I know what you mean Magnif bro but I identify even harder with Rog's lyrics, he just writes about every aspect of life in such a perfect way. But yeah. Damn I don't even remember Where I End and You Begin at all, guess I should change that.
avonbarksdale221 09.07.13	I will eat you alive
CK 09.07.13	Fair enough. It's actually my favorite on the album. I don't get the hate or, rather, the lack of love it receives
YourDarkAffected 09.07.13	totally agree about Where i end and you Begin. Song is especially amazing on In Rainbows live from the basement video. Definitely my favorite of Colin's bass work.
MAGNIFICENT 09.07.13	Yeah, let's just say I'm somewhat like Thom in the personal aspect. But I can relate to a lot of Roger's lyrics too, he's a very passionate writer as well. CK, will listen to it closely bud.
MAGNIFICENT 09.08.13	Listened to the Amnesiac b-sides. They're so amazing. Fog, Kinetic and The Amazing Sounds Of Orgy should have been included in the album. The perfect Amnesiac would be: 1. Packt Like Sardines In A Crushd Tin Box 2. Kinetic 3. Pyramid Song 4. Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors 5. I Might Be Wrong 6. You And Whose Army? 7. The Amazing Sounds Of Orgy 8. Knives Out 9. Fog 10. Hunting Bears 11. Like Spinning Plates 12. True Love Waits (yep, THIS song) 13. Life In A Glass House
Rowan5215 09.08.13	Ah good bump, this was a fun list. There are definitely some killer b-sides from Amnesiac.
avonbarksdale221 09.08.13	I'm totally using that tracklist next time I jam Amnesiac.
smith1 09.08.13	you faggots are still talking about radiohead
MAGNIFICENT 09.08.13	So true Rowan bro, I enjoyed the b-sides collection a lot. Yeah smith, wanna join? ; )
smith1 09.08.13	yeah sure. i just wanted to call that guy talking about aesthetic beauty an asshole
MAGNIFICENT 09.10.13	Appreciated. Now fuck off. : )
