ArsMoriendi: Top 10 Overrated Radiohead Songs

SkaCali1991 02.17.14	thank you i agree
YoYoMancuso 02.17.14	One of my least favorite Radiohead songs of all time gets way more praise than my favorite off of Kid A "Optimistic." What's funny is that Optimistic is actually their most overrated song
ArsMoriendi 02.17.14	@YoYoMancuso: I agree that "Optimistic" is a bit overrated, but not even nearly as much as these 10 songs.
Ending 02.17.14	Let Down is sooooo good man. And You >>>>> Creep for sure but nobody really cares about Pablo Honey so that's not too much a point of contention. Not sure if my comment about the best songs on Kid A spurred you to this action or not but like pretty good list. At least it's not another "Radiohead Ranked" list.
climactic 02.17.14	1 is the fucking best mang
climactic 02.17.14	i am angry at this list
BigHans 02.17.14	wrong hard on 5 and 9
Ending 02.17.14	Uh oh clim gettin' heated.
Insurrection 02.17.14	1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9 are so so wrong
BigHans 02.17.14	Let Down rules Computer
Insurrection 02.17.14	exit music and let down are the best on okc
mryrtmrnfoxxxy 02.17.14	4 is the only one here that made me angry so i gotta say good list, not an easy one to make !
BigHans 02.17.14	Paranoid Android is the most overrated Radiohead song. It rules, but not OMGBESTSONGEVER
FearTomorrow 02.17.14	Agreed with 5 sooooo hard. never dug that one. and 8/9, overrated but still good tunes... but I never got the Motion Picture acclaim, despite Kid A being one of my favourite albums ever
mryrtmrnfoxxxy 02.17.14	also regarding 7, agree hard. you+anyone can play guitar don't get enough love
NeroCorleone80 02.17.14	5 is one of the best on OKC
BigHans 02.17.14	Creep sucks, there are like 6 jams on Pablo Honey that are better. Album is underrated hard.
Crawl 02.17.14	National Anthem is in radiohead top 5 easily
mryrtmrnfoxxxy 02.17.14	anyone can play guitar grooves wonderfully
DatPinecone 02.17.14	I have no problem with your choices for the list and I actually agree with you on Let Down, but you used the exact same "argument" for almost every song: "It's a good song, but it gets too much praise" I'm not saying you should give a detailed mini-review for each song, but the descriptions felt so redundant and unnecessary. My 2 cents.
TheSupernatural 02.17.14	Agree with 5, 7, and 10
ArsMoriendi 02.17.14	Most of the angry reactions to this list are sort of proving my point. @DatPinecone: Well they are all kind of overrated for similar reasons. The "Pyramid Song" one was spot on, you have to admit.
slagun 02.17.14	agreed with 5
DatPinecone 02.17.14	@ArsMoriendi: I guess, but the thing is that you didn't really give any reason for a lot of the songs. You just said that you felt people were quick to praise them. Which we already understand thanks to the title of your list. I do think you're spot on about Pyramid Song, actually. Fully agree with you on that one. I just wish the other descriptions would stand out more as well, because I like the list otherwise.
Snake. 02.17.14	Let Down goes hard in the fuckin' paint.
ArsMoriendi 02.17.14	@DatPinecone: Originally they weren't going to have descriptions, but I didn't want to give off the impression that I didn't like these songs. 9/10 of these songs are great. "Motion Picture Soundtrack / Genchildren" is hard to sit through for me though... especially the Genchildren part.
climactic 02.17.14	only one here i kinda agree with is 4. and 7 isnt overrated by actual rh fans it's just their biggest song
Friday13th 02.17.14	imho the entire Kid A album is overrated. I'd take OK Computer and The Bends any day.
DrHouseSchuldiner 02.17.14	4 is kinda overrated but i still like it
DrHouseSchuldiner 02.17.14	7 too
ExcentrifugalForz 02.17.14	a decent list but 8 and 1 need even more praise
YoYoMancuso 02.17.14	Also 3 is Radiohead's best song so disagreed there
ArsMoriendi 02.17.14	@YoYoMancuso: This is what I'm talking about. Radiohead fans always talk about their opinion as fact. It's so annoying and pretentious. Don't you realize that everyone has their own opinion and if someone's opinion differs from yours, it doesn't mean they're wrong? I wouldn't put "Pyramid Song" in my Top 20 favorites, let alone at #1... it doesn't mean that I think its a bad song though. Amazing songs can be overrated and this list only proves that. Overrated isn't and never will be synonymous with bad.
Ryus 02.17.14	all of these except creep i love
postrockpaperscissor 02.17.14	I am angry at this list {2}
IronGiant 02.17.14	electioneering over paranoid android hahahaha good one man you really had me for a second
IronGiant 02.17.14	and yeah i agree with 5, let down has always been my least favorite track off OKC along with no surprises. really dont get why optimistic doesnt get more love, i think its absolutely brilliant. i love the tribal drumming and the mocking way thom sings the chorus. everything about kid a makes me happy tbh and its my favorite album of all time so im pretty biased haha
TwigTW 02.17.14	Wait a minute; are you saying ''Idioteque'' isn’t the best Radiohead song ever? But it . . . oh shit, guilty.
ArsMoriendi 02.17.14	@IronGiant: I actually do prefer "Electioneering" to "Paranoid Android" I also listen to it WAY more. Both are excellent songs though. Both pale in comparison to "Airbag" in my opinion though.
NordicMindset 02.17.14	Let Down rocks. Electioneering is underrated by not one of the best on OK Comp.
chaseguitar 02.17.14	This list should just be the entirety of OK Computer. And Insurrection got it completely right by saying that "1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9 are so so wrong"
NordicMindset 02.17.14	Fake Plastic Trees though
Yotimi 02.17.14	National Anthem is easily my favorite. Grooves 10 times better than all their other songs.
Trebor. 02.17.14	I fucking love all of these except Creep
Chortles 02.17.14	yeah national anthem is prob the best so
climactic 02.17.14	"National Anthem is easily my favorite. Grooves 10 times better than all their other songs." there there????? jigsaw falling into place???
mryrtmrnfoxxxy 02.17.14	creep is great stop trying to be cool Rob
treefingered2 02.17.14	3 yeah but 1 is fucking good
Trebor. 02.17.14	yer so fucking special foxxxy
ArsMoriendi 02.17.14	@Everyone: They're all great (except maybe Motion Picture Soundtrack...), but that doesn't save them from being overrated.
YoYoMancuso 02.17.14	"Don't you realize that everyone has their own opinion and if someone's opinion differs from yours, it doesn't mean they're wrong?" i didn't say you were wrong, i said i disagreed with you.
mryrtmrnfoxxxy 02.17.14	lol
zakalwe 02.17.14	Wrong opinions exist dude
treefingered2 02.17.14	List is wrong. Just wrong. Your opinion is wrong and you should feel wrong.
YoYoMancuso 02.17.14	yeah i know zak but he got his panties in a double fisherman knot because of something i didn't even say
ArsMoriendi 02.17.14	@treefingered2: How is it wrong? I swear half of you don't even know what overrated means... My opinion is that a ton of Radiohead fans think its blasphemy not to have the same favorites as them. It's actually really boring when everyone has the same favorite songs anyway.
climactic 02.17.14	make 10 underrated radiohead songs
ArsMoriendi 02.17.14	@Climactic Isn't it 1 list per day? I wanted to devote tomorrow to a different band. Would you guys mind if I made a 2nd list if it was the opposite of this list? xD
treefingered2 02.17.14	was kidding dont worry bro. you're not wrong just a bit silly :P
Ending 02.17.14	We can't stop you. You could make the list now if you wanted but it's a rule to just make one per day the same way it's a rule to not blow your nose on a stranger's sleeve.
FearTomorrow 02.17.14	Agreed with people praising National Anthem. First four songs on Kid A are perfect.
Ending 02.17.14	Best track on Kid A: How To National In Its Right Kid Picture Soundteque
sublimefan1991 02.18.14	10, 5, and 1 totally agreed.
bach 02.18.14	i hope they play creep
DamnVanne 02.18.14	I wrote off Radiohead as a terrible band for YEARS because of Creep. Creep will always hold a special place on the bottom of my shoes
Underflow 02.18.14	So basically the best songs on Kid A
ArsMoriendi 02.18.14	@Underflow: My favorites on Kid A are "Optimistic" and "Morning Bell" so I have no idea what you're talking about. "The National Anthem" would probably be my third favorite on Kid A though.
Underflow 02.18.14	Yeah, I'm just giving you a hard time lol.
NordicMindset 02.18.14	You can try the best you can, but the list is never good enough. ;)
