536 battles but fairly accurate.

:omg: It wasn't 200?

I must've frustrated the algorithm. I liked that you could tell when it was trying to weed out songs because it'd pit like 10 songs against 1 until you selected it.

I've never quite gotten the total lovefest for There There.  I mean, it's a really good song, and it's great live, with the two guitarists playing percussion on both sides of the stage up front while Yorke sings and does all of the live guitar work, but they have so many songs that are better, yet that is one that always seems very high up on any cumulative list of favorite songs by fans.

The love Reckoner gets (online) still just baffles me. I, and the two people I know in real life who like Radiohead AND I’ve brought it up with (not exactly a throng, but 3/3 ain’t bad) all absolutely loathe that song. Not only is it almost certainly my least favourite Radiohead song, it’s gotta be one of my least favourite songs in my entire music library.

Different strokes, I suppose.

Yeah, There There and Reckoner are considered the best song on their respective albums, you heretics  >:(

Joking, i ain't a big fan of Paranoid Android, and that's the often considered best Radiohead song ever so, i'm a heretic too  :loser:

There There does seem to often be the overwhelming consensus for best song from Hail to the Thief, but I've never seen that similar sentiment for Reckoner.  Heck, Reckoner was even my favorite from IR at one point, but it wouldn't be anymore.

Honestly, someone could put the songs from IR in just about any order and I'd be okay with it; every song is that damn good.

A Wolf at the Door showing up disgustingly low for you guys. ;)

I love that song, but this again is an issue of them having so many great songs that not all of them can end up near the top.

Reckoner would probably be in the bottom half of IR for me. Not a bad song (the whole album is really good), but Videotape is definitely the best. After that, I'd say Jigsaw Falling Into Place, All I Need, Weird Fishes/Arpeggi, 15 Step and maybe Faust Arp would be higher.

Daydreaming made no. 10 and Burn The Witch no. 14. Those are indeed my favorites from the new one and instant Radiohead classics IMO.

Yeah, it's really upside down compared to consensus. It goes:

1. Reckoner
2. Nude, Weird Fishes and Jigsaw (more or less tied)
3. All i Need
4. 15 Step
5. Bodysnatchers
6. House of Cards and Videotape
7. Faust Arp

Personally, i only would rank All I Need higher. The rest is the same as my placings.

Is a consensus from two of the best sites for this, well, at least for me. If you don't want to take them seriously, it's fine.

Anybody else find it nearly impossible to sequence Radiohead songs?

I was trying to make integrated playlists of IR+disc2 and Kid A + Amnesiac + b-sides, and it's just... horrible trying to make anything that flows. Besides their usual midpace opener/raucous second/deep third/ballad fourth/pickup fifth pattern and a penchant for ending with the most tragic song, I dunno how to put their songs together. I'm not even convinced the band know how – after a good opener, all their live setlists just look like a playlist on shuffle. Maybe that's why they're always different night-to-night.

Actually, that's what they are. Not something factual (but that's kinda impossible, i guess) but better than nothing.

I swear, sometimes it seems like the band picks the songs, throws them up into the air, and then plays them in whatever order they pick them up.

Examples:

-Reckoner closing some set out on the last tour.  Awesome song, but something that mellow is a middle of the set tune, not a set closer.
-Give Up the Ghost as one of the encores.  Again, waaaaaaaaaay too laid back to be one of the two or three encores.
-Closing out some shows on the IR tour with House of Cards.  Major WTF there.

They have a lot of fans who think they walk on water and can do no wrong, but their set list running orders sometimes leave a lot to be desired (even when the choices overall are excellent).

I'm trying to think of what song would be a good closing song for a setlist and I'm drawing a blank. I'm sure I'm missing a couple of obvious ones.

Everything in its right place is a great closer. So would Street spirit be, in my opinion.

Then again, I think they tend to play over 20 songs per show, which probably makes it difficult to come up with a cohesive order to already very different songs.

I initially thought A Moon Shaped Pool was definitely one of their best, but I've been listening to the older stuff again and got reminded again. An album like Hail to the Thief sounds quite a lot more adventurous. But nonetheless, AMSP is a great addition to their stellar discography.  :tup

Agreed. Certain type of mellow songs are great closers, and I think Street Spirit falls into that category.  It kind of has that "final" vibe to it.

Same here.  A Moon Shaped Pool is really growing on me in a big way and is definitely a great addition to their already-great catalogue, but I, too, have been listening to their back catalogue lately and it's just so hard to top OKC, IR and The Bends, the last of which I have now promoted up to 3rd best over Kid A.  Kid A is more ambitious and daring, but The Bends is just so great; nearly every song is a major winner.

The point about arbitrary running orders for concerts just made me realize they went all-out on thay front on the new album...the tracks are in alphabetical order.

At least, The Numbers was originally named Silent Spring, so they changed its name to fit the alphabetical order.

Still four songs from In Rainbows, although no Nude, All I Need or 15 Step.

It's almost obscene to admit, but I was a bit underwhelmed actually. It was good, but not as amazing as the two previous times I've seen them. It was the first night of the tour ofcourse, and with that in mind they did pretty well. Daydreaming and Decks Dark didn't translate well live, even though I absolutely love those songs.

Looks like a great set list, but it is a slight bummer to see that they are playing the same songs they did on the last tour (not counting the new songs). They have a lot of great songs from 1995-2003 that they haven't played in forever, and it would be cool to see them pull a few of those out here and there.  Long tour, and I am sure there will be changes on a nightly basis, but that set does look fairly predictable.
