Thom “can’t put the needle in,” in case you missed those lyrics repeated a thousand times. “Faithless, the Wonder Boy” “Anyone Can Play Guitar” single (1993)Ī typical mopey song that resonates with teens in the maelstrom of puberty, but ceases to translate years later. Either way, the avian metaphor is heavyhanded. Yorke could be addressing war or he could be addressing love. A five-minute search for a catchy chorus that goes undiscovered. “Yes I Am” “Creep” single (1992)Ī Pablo Honey-era ditty with little to offer in way of melody or lyrics. “MK 2” In Rainbows bonus disc (2007)Īs the second “MK” interlude from In Rainbows’ second disc, “MK 2” serves well as an attention-grabbing precursor for “Last Flowers” seeing as it sounds a bit like a theremin symphony. “Nothing Touches Me” Pablo Honey (1991)ĭespite a traffic-jammed organ and Colin Greenwood peppering his bass lines with eighth notes, the song gets sunk by the moodiness of Thom Yorke’s speak-singing. Level with “Supercollider” in terms of boredom and forgettability. “The Butcher” “Supercollider” / “The Butcher” single (2011)

Hopefully, you found everything in its right place.ġ59. Please let us know your feelings below although I can practically hear you Radioheadz typing already. No, it does not include different-sounding demos (“Thinking About You”) or alternate versions (the Amnesiac draft of “Morning Bell” notwithstanding). Yes, it does include some of the best music of the past 25 years. No, it does not include songs that have not been officially released in completed studio form. Yes, this list includes the previously unreleased cuts from last week’s OK Computer OKNOTOK 1997-2017. Despite the obstacles, we pulled it off: Radiohead’s 162 songs have been ranked. The top and bottom tiers were pretty evident (in our opinion), but how do you figure out where to place “Lewis (Mistreated)” and “Gagging Order” among their catalog of album tracks? The added “problem” of there being so many strong songs doesn’t help the matter. The Fab Five of Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O’Brien, and Phil Selway have quite the track record.focu When the dust settles, you can only hope that with a bit of reasoning and compromise that you’ve compiled the best order. Inevitably, there will be disagreements, leading to punch-ups at weddings, sulking, and feeling like a real creep.

There are different eras in the band’s 24-year recording history that make it difficult to compare one album to the next. A staff ranking of Radiohead’s nine albums isn’t the easiest activity to partake in.
