Radiohead - Full Discography Ranked
The results of last week's DiscoRun. Was a fun run. Radiohead was never and will never be my favorite band. I have a lot of problems with the vocals at times and since I have no personal connection with the band my ranking might be 180 degrees different from others. Let the angry rantings commence. |
| 101 |  | Radiohead
Hail to the Thief
Ok, so after making the list I noticed a full album missing in the list. Since I can't add songs in the middle and I'm not doing the whole thing over here comes Hail to the Thief with the placements the songs should've gotten. |
| 100 | | Radiohead
Hail to the Thief
The Gloaming - Place 76
I don't know why, but the sample are literally giving me a headache. I don't know if that's bad luck or the way they're mixed, for on the surface there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with them. Weird |
| 99 | | Radiohead
Hail to the Thief
Where I end and You Begin - Place 75
Not really a fan of this. The first time I feel that Radiohead is dropping the ball a little on this album. It feels a little less inspired and frankly a little boring at first listen. |
| 98 | | Radiohead
Hail to the Thief
We Suck Young Blood - Place 69
The clapping is nice, but other than that the first half is a little boring. Then the unexpected time-shift comes in and for about 20 seconds it gets really great before coming back down again. Could've finished the song high-tempo for my money. |
| 97 | | Radiohead
Hail to the Thief
Scatterbrain - Place 67
I feel like the album is a little too long. They could've cut this in my opinion. Not a fan. |
| 96 | | Radiohead
Hail to the Thief
A Wolf at the Door - Place 64
Yeah they coul'dve also put this as a bonus song or something. It just drags the album longer than nessesary. They could've just ended it on a high note with Myxomatosis and that would've been fine. Now it kinda just bleeds to death in my eyes. |
| 95 | | Radiohead
Hail to the Thief
A Punchup at a Wedding - Place 52
I'm feel like I've been repeating myself too much during this run. Overall average song on a average Radiohead album. Straight middle of the pack I guess. |
| 94 | | Radiohead
Hail to the Thief
Backdrifts - Place 37
Another one I did not really find memorable and couldn't quite remember after listening |
| 93 | | Radiohead
Hail to the Thief
Go to Sleep - Place 35
Nice and energetic song that keeps the energy high and has a really infectious acoustic guitar running throughout it. |
| 92 | | Radiohead
Hail to the Thief
Sit Down. Stand Up - Place 34
Not to much to say about it. Middle of the pack |
| 91 | | Radiohead
Hail to the Thief
I Will - Place 27
I actually really like the vocals here. The close harmony was well done and it fit the mood of the album very well. |
| 90 | | Radiohead
Hail to the Thief
Sail to the Moon - Place 26
Sweet and smooth ballad where the vocals really work for me |
| 89 | | Radiohead
Hail to the Thief
There There - Place 22
Love the part where the drums switched to a steady beat. One of the better songs on Hail to the Thief for sure. |
| 88 | | Radiohead
Hail to the Thief
2+2=5 - Place 17
Hail to the Thief starts off with a bang! Great song this. |
| 87 | | Radiohead
Hail to the Thief
Myxomatosis - Place 12
These are the kind of samples I can really get behind. The groovy low basslines that really drive the song foreward. I enjoyed this. Might be my favorite from Hail to the Thief |
| 86 |  | Radiohead
OK Computer
Fitter Happier
interlude/filler, which I'm not going to rate. |
| 85 |  | Radiohead
Kid A
Treefingers
I find it hard to rate this against other songs, since it's a full ambient song that kinda feels like a pallet cleanser of sorts. I will count it as such and not rate it. |
| 84 |  | Radiohead
Amnesiac
Hunting Bears
This is a pretty cool interlude, but only an interlude so I won't rate it. |
| 83 | | Radiohead
Amnesiac
Pulk / Pull Revolving Doors
Oeh I'm not really liking this one though. The robotic vocals does nothing with me accept for being slightly annoying |
| 82 |  | Radiohead
The Bends
Bones
The vocals where a little off-putting on this. I don't really know why though, because I guess it's not that different from the other songs on this record. Goes to show that Radiohead's vocals walk a very fine line between enjoyable and obnoxious to me. |
| 81 |  | Radiohead
Pablo Honey
Anyone Can Play Guitar
This sounds like basic 90's rockmusic to me, but with vocals that get a little obnoxious |
| 80 | | Radiohead
Pablo Honey
How Do You?
The production is really really different from Creep, which came before it. This sounds like a band who has no idea where they're going musically. It's too different from the first two songs for me. |
| 79 | | Radiohead
Pablo Honey
Thinking About You
Yeah this is a little to whiney in the vocal department for me |
| 78 |  | Radiohead
The King of Limbs
Feral
This didn't do a whole lot for me. I'm not sure if I'm really digging this electro (almost lounge) vibe. |
| 77 | | Radiohead
OK Computer
Electioneering
Nah this is not my game. In the more active songs, his voice annoys me more. On the previous song I disliked the three slow songs back to back, but be careful what you wish for I guess. |
| 76 | | Radiohead
Pablo Honey
I Can't
Oeh I don't like the vocals here. |
| 75 | | Radiohead
The Bends
Sulk
I don't have much to say about this song. Its not bad, but not really good either. |
| 74 | | Radiohead
The Bends
Bulletproof.. I Wish I was
I listened twice, and twice nothing really sticks. A pretty basic ballad I guess (god people are gonna hate me for this list aren't they, sorry if I just offended your favorite song). |
| 73 | | Radiohead
Pablo Honey
Lurgee
I was busy with something with this on my inears and I don't remember anything from it, so it must have been unremarkable without being bad. |
| 72 | | Radiohead
Pablo Honey
Creep
I don't know if it is cursing in church, but I've always hated this song with a passion. Too suicide top10 for me. Still don't really enjoy it, but it's not as bad as it used to be, more energy than I remember. Also somehow the production is better than the rest of the album. |
| 71 | | Radiohead
The King of Limbs
Little by Little
This song was okey. Not one of their better ones, but not bad perse. |
| 70 | | Radiohead
Pablo Honey
Prove Yourself
Ok song but a little forgettable at first listen |
| 69 | | Radiohead
Pablo Honey
Ripcord
This was a step up from the previous two songs. More memorable and catchy with a better production quality. I find it weird that the production on this album seems so uneven. |
| 68 | | Radiohead
The King of Limbs
Codex
This might piss a lot of people off, but this album is kinda boring to me (at first listen). There's not really a song that grips me like other records of them have done so far. |
| 67 | | Radiohead
Pablo Honey
Stop Whispering
You know what. So far I'm enjoying this a hell of a lot more than I expected. Lets hope it stays that way! This is a pretty good song. |
| 66 | | Radiohead
The King of Limbs
Bloom
Hmm, I don't think I'm liking this one. It feels a little too random and experimental to me. It does have a kind off smoothing atmosphere though, so I think this might be a grower |
| 65 | | Radiohead
The Bends
My Iron Lung
I just notice, but why does the album cover look like one of those dolls I practiced CPR on during my first aid training? Song is ok, not one of my favorites from this album. That bridge is weird. Ha, I did Melt-Banana last week and there was a song there that sounded like my earbuds dying on me. I thought this song had the same but this time it was actually my earbuds dying. Fuck me now I have to go to the store in my break and get new ones. |
| 64 | | Radiohead
Pablo Honey
Blow Out
Album ends with one of the better songs imo. Although pretty much everything from this run except for the hits are first time listens. |
| 63 |  | Radiohead
A Moon Shaped Pool
Glass Eyes
I don't remember much from this song after listening it. Middle of the pack I guess. |
| 62 | | Radiohead
Amnesiac
Morning Bell / Amnesiac
See Knives Out first before reading > Ah there it is again, phew. No likey them singings here. Though I do have to say I can enjoy them more despite me not liking them. |
| 61 | | Radiohead
Kid A
In Limbo
The strenght of this song is in its formlessness. It's a good piece that fits its role on the album, but doesn't grip me like some of the others have done so far. |
| 60 | | Radiohead
OK Computer
Karma Police
The third slow/mid tempo ballad in a row. This one feels less immediate because of that reason and doesn't really stick with me. |
| 59 | | Radiohead
The Bends
Just
Hey another one I know! That's more than I expected. No one of my favorites though. |
| 58 | | Radiohead
The Bends
The Bends
This song is pretty good, but I didn't really like the bridge. The chorus is very nice though so that evens it out |
| 57 | | Radiohead
Pablo Honey
Vegetable
One of the better ones from their debut album. More emotional and authentic feeling than most of the others. |
| 56 | | Radiohead
Amnesiac
Like Spinning Plates
This song was not for me I guess. At 4 minutes, it still felt like a transition song instead of a fully fleshed out song on its own. |
| 55 | | Radiohead
Amnesiac
Dollars & Cents
The instrumentation is really weird and experimental on this song. I applaud them for it, but for a first listen it didn't really click with me. |
| 54 | | Radiohead
Kid A
Kid A
Hmm I hope the entire album is not filled with these kind of robotic vocals, because I don't really enjoy them. Song is pretty good I guess, but the vocals get me out of the vibe too much to really enjoy it. |
| 53 | | Radiohead
OK Computer
Lucky
Yeah I see to be liking the slower more subdued songs better than the energetic once, but that's purely because of the vocals. They are so hit or miss for me. This one was a slight hit. |
| 52 | | Radiohead
OK Computer
Paranoid Android
You know, there are parts of this song I really like, and than there are the parts that I really dislike (like the mumbling bridge). |
| 51 | | Radiohead
The King of Limbs
Morning Mr. Magpie
The guitars are nice and groovy on this song. Better than the opening song for me. |
| 50 | | Radiohead
A Moon Shaped Pool
Decks Dark
I have a little bit the same feelings as I had with the previous, Daydreaming. It's never bad but I'm not in love with it. |
| 49 | | Radiohead
A Moon Shaped Pool
Daydreaming
This one was not my favorite. I think this one's a real grower, but not an immediate highlight for me. |
| 48 | | Radiohead
Kid A
Idioteque
After the titlesong, this is the first time this record that the vocals annoy me. God Radiohead is so hit and miss for me when it comes to the vocals. It really makes some songs, while completely ruining others for me. |
| 47 | | Radiohead
OK Computer
Climbing Up the Walls
Those screams at the end made it almost feel like a blackgaze song. Pretty good song this. |
| 46 | | Radiohead
Pablo Honey
You
This is actually quite groovy and energetic for a debut song. It's the start of a new discorun and I will admit that I never particularly liked Radiohead in the past from what I heard. I did listen to OK, Computer a while back and liked it better than I expected to. With this its off to a pretty good start I'd say. |
| 45 | | Radiohead
A Moon Shaped Pool
Identikit
Eh I don't know, A Moon Shaped Pool feels like a real middle of the pack record for Radiohead. Certainly some great songs on here but nothing that really steps into the limelight for me. |
| 44 | | Radiohead
A Moon Shaped Pool
Desert Island Disk
Not to much to say about it. Pretty good song |
| 43 |  | Radiohead
In Rainbows
House of Cards
This one I like slightly less than the others on this album. It's a bit overly long imo. It has a nice atmosphere though, but it doesn't seem to go anywhere. |
| 42 | | Radiohead
Amnesiac
Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box
This starts of really different from all the other albums, sounds almost like a different band. Its quite groovy and the chorus is pretty catchy. |
| 41 | | Radiohead
Kid A
The National Anthem
Ha those brass instruments were unexpected. Kinda cool I like it. Problem with most brass instruments is that they're often slightly off-key (not the players fault, that's just the way those instruments work) and often I find those little off-key moments annoying as hell, but here it somehow works. |
| 40 | | Radiohead
The Bends
Black Star
Loving that intro. |
| 39 | | Radiohead
The Bends
Fake Plastic Trees
This is a nice slow burner. I enjoyed the buildup, that was very well done. |
| 38 | | Radiohead
OK Computer
Let Down
I'm enjoying OK Computer a lot more than The Bends I have to say. It feels much more streamlined, with a better production and |
| 37 | | Radiohead
The Bends
Planet Telex
I think people are going to be so angry with me when I release this full ranking. |
| 36 | | Radiohead
A Moon Shaped Pool
Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor Rich Man Poor Man Beggar Man
It's a good song, but again not in my top. There's a little to much of these kinda songs on this one album for me. |
| 35 | | Radiohead
The Bends
[Nice Dream]
Ok this was actually a really good song. I listened to it twice to make sure, but yeah I'm really enjoying this. |
| 34 | | Radiohead
The Bends
High and Dry
Hey, I know this song! I covered it once with a band when I was 15 or something like that. Didn't recognice the title. Yeah I like this one. |
| 33 | | Radiohead
The King of Limbs
Lotus Flower
This is quite a nice song and so far my favorite from The King of Limbs. I think this record is supposed to have a kind of hypnotic atmosphere and on this song it kindof worked. |
| 32 | | Radiohead
A Moon Shaped Pool
Present Tense
This entire album feels way more toned down than previous albums, without it becoming actually more 'safe', because all these mellow songs on one album feel like quite the risk in their own right. I think this is one of the better ones on this album. |
| 31 | | Radiohead
In Rainbows
Reckoner
Two things that really make a difference on In Rainbows for me. 1: The production seems much more modern and crisp. 2. The vocals feel so much smoother and accessible to me |
| 30 | | Radiohead
In Rainbows
Faust Arp
Starts as a nice folk song with some sweet strings. I like the fact that it stays small. |
| 29 | | Radiohead
In Rainbows
Bodysnatchers
Grooving for days, but them whiny voices man. |
| 28 | | Radiohead
Amnesiac
Life in a Glass House
The jazzyness of this is really really cool, but again the brittleness of his voice make it so much less for me than it could've been. This needs a strong powerful voice to make the jazz soar, but at the end its more just wails than strong soaring ad-libs. The final couple of second is cool though, that's where that voice works. |
| 27 | | Radiohead
OK Computer
No Surprises
Familiar sounds here. I find that I know more Radiohead than I initially thought. The melody is very earworm-y and the song itself is nice and mellow. |
| 26 | | Radiohead
The Bends
Street Spirit (Fade Out)
Hey, another one I know. I always thought this was a Muse song somehow lol, and one of the better Muse songs at that. Makes my opinion on that band even less haha…. I hate Muse. |
| 25 | | Radiohead
The King of Limbs
Separator
Not a bad closer at all. This album overall has been really mediocre for me (compared to their others at least) but the final two songs seem to end it strong at least. |
| 24 | | Radiohead
In Rainbows
Weird Fishes / Arpeggi
Another smooth ride that does feel a bit formless on first listen. I kinda like that steady beat though. Not a bad song by any stretch. |
| 23 | | Radiohead
Amnesiac
Pyramid Song
Nice and sweeping song. |
| 22 | | Radiohead
OK Computer
Airbag
I have no idea what this song's about, but it feels really personal and dramatic. Pretty odd to have it as an opener, but I guess it's one of the things that draws people to this album as one of the best of all time. |
| 21 | | Radiohead
The King of Limbs
Give up the Ghost
Yeah this song I get. The repetitive guitars work pretty soothing and hypnotizing and the vocal work is really smooth |
| 20 | | Radiohead
A Moon Shaped Pool
True Love Waits
A sweet little final farewell to the discorun of Radiohead. I had a way better time than I expected. |
| 19 | | Radiohead
A Moon Shaped Pool
Ful Stop
Another great song. These guys are nothing if not consistent to a fault. |
| 18 | | Radiohead
In Rainbows
Videotape
A good closer to a great album, and certainly my favorite album from Radiohead so far. judging by the overall ratings, that might not change, but who knows? |
| 17 | | Radiohead
Kid A
Morning Bell
Overall, this entire album doesn't really have any weak points which is really quite something. I have the songs I like more than other, but the quality of every song is on par. This one was a middle of the pack song for me. |
| 16 | | Radiohead
OK Computer
The Tourist
This song reminds me of Twin Peaks somehow. The same mysterious vibe in that Roadhouse. God I need to rewatch that show. |
| 15 | | Radiohead
In Rainbows
All I Need
This followes in the same veign as Weird Fishes / Arpeggi does, with a little bit more of a buildup towards the end. Another great song here guys, I'm really starting to like In Rainbows a lot! |
| 14 | | Radiohead
Amnesiac
Knives Out
I'm not actively disliking the vocals on these last couple of songs. I surely hope I'm not getting used to them, that would mean I can start this run all over again lol. Another great song here. |
| 13 | | Radiohead
Kid A
Everything in its Right Place
Wow this is actually kinda great and really different from their earlier work. Much more ambient and mechanical which was a great direction for their sound to go to. |
| 12 | | Radiohead
Kid A
How to Disappear Completely
I have to say, so far Kid A, if anything, has incredible pacing. The slow acoustic strumming fits perfectly after the dissonant brass outro of The National Anthem. This song builds like a postrock song which I really like. For my money it could've used a bigger climax though. |
| 11 | | Radiohead
A Moon Shaped Pool
Burn the Witch
Again with the sweet buildup. It's really their strenght imo, and there strongest sonsg seems to fall into this category. |
| 10 | | Radiohead
In Rainbows
Nude
So far I feel Thom's vocals have improved and sound better on In Rainbows than on anything before. They fit the music better somehow, and this song is case and point |
| 9 | | Radiohead
Amnesiac
I Might be Wrong
Maybe it's the more electric vibes on this album, or maybe its more the post song-structures in a couple of the songs thus far, but I'm really digging Amnesiac. |
| 8 | | Radiohead
A Moon Shaped Pool
The Numbers
Oeh another one that somehow really clicked on first listen. I'm a sucker for orchestras and this one is really well done and fits the music so wel.. |
| 7 | | Radiohead
Kid A
Optimistic
The lyrics fit the title very well. The song has a nice drive to it, and for me it's one of the better songs on Kid A so far. |
| 6 | | Radiohead
In Rainbows
15 Step
So I was 5 songs into In Rainbows before I noticed I was appearantly listening to cd 2. Durp. So lets try again with disk 1 shall we. Really great opening. I'm liking what I'm hearing here! |
| 5 | | Radiohead
Kid A
Motion Picture Soundtrack
Yeah this is a great closer to a good record. Its got its own identity even though its clearly the same band. I think I enjoyed Kid A most so far. This song is a bittersweet and satisfying conclusion. |
| 4 | | Radiohead
Amnesiac
You and Whose Army?
Okey this might be my favorite Radiohead song thus far. This clicked so hard with me jeez. Such a great buildup and payoff. |
| 3 | | Radiohead
OK Computer
Subterranean Homesick Alien
This is the first song I come across that I actually love. Maybe it's because it has a lot of old-school progrock vibes, but this song clicked immediately and its gorgeous. |
| 2 | | Radiohead
In Rainbows
Jigsaw Falling Into Place
This might have been one of my favorites. Damn this is a really really really great song! *puts it in all his playlists*. |
| 1 | | Radiohead
OK Computer
Exit Music (For a Film)
Damn this a great song. Starts of feeling like a Johnny Cash cover but soon unfolds as a big emotional epic. Great song! |
