Street Spirit's probably my least favourite track on The Bends. Only Bones would have a chance of ranking lower.

And on that note, Reckoner remains a complete WTF to me, and easily my least favourite on In Rainbows.

My "best of" Radiohead-setlist would look something like this:

Morning Bell
These Are My Twisted Words
2+2=5
Airbag
Packt Like Sardines In a Crushd Tin Box
15 Step
Fake Plastic Trees
Go To Sleep
Faust Arp
Paranoid Android
Optimistic
In Limbo
Backdrifts
Climbing Up The Walls
How To Disappear Completely
I Might Be Wrong
All I Need
Lucky
Jigsaw Falling Into Place
Pyramid Song
Videotape
Everything In Its Right Place

But again, there are so many fantastic songs by this band.. its really hard to pick.

Interesting, that opinion is the polar opposite of mine and many others i'm sure. Although I agree bones is average.

"Bones" is definitely one of my least favorite songs from The Bends, along with "My Iron Lung" and the title track. *ducks* :p

Three years later, we have just finished another group of songs, and have begun to wonder about how to release them in a digital landscape that has changed again.

Praying for an announcement soon..

I'm not a huge radiohead fan. I like some stuff from them. But i think "The Bends" is one of the best albums ever made. By anybody. Top 5 of the 90's for sure. Fake plastic trees is their best song to me. I LOVE that song and album!

that, along with a few other moments on In Rainbows, is just impossible for me to enjoy again. I have lived with that album for a long time, and it is intertwined with many important or deep emotional moments I had. The women involved were also into IR at that time, as it was simply the best album around at that time.

15 Step is fun, but after the '21st century' part in Bodysnatchers, the record just goes deeper and deeper into a confronting vibe, but also dreamlike state. Can't explain it, it's personal maybe. But I just can't take the music 'as is' anymore. Even when I was totally enjoying IR, 'Videotape' was just too disturbing for me. I never enjoyed the song that much, but it touches the soul in a way that just.. Hurts?

I think it's funny that most people i meet that likes Radiohead holds The Bends or OK Computer on top, for me The Bends would be my least favorite and OK Computer probably just right over it.
Still, it really shows how damn great this band is, and i just love how they constantly change. :)

In Rainbows, Kid A and Amnesiac would be my favorites, it's hard splitting them up because they're all so good, but they all have a special place in my heart.

Every time I want to use my record player, but don't know what to play, I grab In Rainbows first.  True story.  Its definitely my favorite Radiohead album.

Without a doubt, it's the only Radiohead album without a single bad song on it. Absolute triumph of a record.

I wouldn't go that far - Kid A and OK Computer are also flawless records - but it is still my favorite Radiohead record, and probably an all-time top 10 record for me.

I was going to post the same thing Kev did, but I think I'd add The Bends to that list as well.

The Bends, Hail to the Thief and Amnesiac all probably don't have any bad songs, per se, either, but they definitely all each have two or three songs that I consider pretty average and almost always skip over.  But I hear ya. :)

I'd say In Rainbows, Kid A and Amnesiac are the 3 "golden" Radiohead-albums for me.
Hail to the Thief is great as well, but i rarely listen to OK Computer and The Bends.
They're both good, but i've always preferred the experimental-side of the band.
Haven't bothered with Pablo Honey yet, because from what i've heard it's not far (soundwise) from The Bends, and just doesn't seem interesting enough. :P

That album is more then music to me, it's a piece of art.  :heart

Do you have the version with the bonus disc? because it's as good as the 'main'-cd.
I gotta listen to both when i listen to the album.

I saw a Furman Theater production of "This Is How it Goes."  Great play, but before the play they played a really, REALLY good piano cover of "Subterranean Homesick Alien" and now I've had it stuck in my head for awhile.  Don't listen to it much.  Need to change that.

That is a fantastic album.
"2+2=5" is a classic, other than that it's fun to see you mention "Sail to the Moon", since it doesn't get much cred and i also think it's beautiful. :)
Other than that i really enjoy "Backdrifts" and "Go To Sleep", and that is only on the first half of the album.  :biggrin:

I think HTTT would have benifited from a few less tracks..

remove scatterbrain, punchup at a wedding and we suck young blood and the standard would be more consistant imo.

I have to admit that "Scatterbrain" and "We Suck Young Blood" are the two songs I skip the most from all of the post-debut studio albums.  I am also not that keen about "Backdrifts" or "Go to Sleep" (Yorke's vocals are too Neil Young-sounding in the latter), but everything else on Hail... is tremendous.
