Are you f****ing joking or what? Anybody who is doubting Radiohead's ability to make Sunday's Headline Spot come alive only needs to witness some of last years "In Ranbows" Tour to re-assure them that they absolutely do have it in them to sort that out.

I fully realise that it's only a rumour but as I have spent half the last 4 months worrying that it would be AC/DC, the thought of Radiohead is so exciting that there was a tiny bit of wee in my pants when I saw them as a rumour.

If it isn't going to be Green Day (and Melvin and the people who know seem to be convinced that it isn't) then who else could really fill a Sunday night slot??

In rainbows is my 3rd favourite radiohead album after the bends and Ok Computor.

The entire set is on Youtube and has been for years, and it's proof that Radiohead were a rock band before they disappeared up their own arses.

I saw them in 1994 and thought they were average. Saw them in 2003 when they were 'up their own arses' and it was one of the best gigs I've ever seen. Their latest album is one of the best they've done.

i must be in the minority then, since i like the vast majority of their songs. In fact the only album i never got into was pablo honey but will give it another go having heard that set, is funny to see them playing such massive hits from the bends with no1 knowing them.

Yeah, I do like songs from all eras, although if I had to pick one I'd definitely say Kid A onwards. Some bands experiment and go progressive just for the sake of it and it doesn't work, but Radiohead's electronic stuff is amazing.

The Bends is as good a "rock" album as you'll hear, but it pales when compared to every album after it I think.

[howlin_pete]

I don't think Pablo Honey is a very good album at all, and I'm not too keen on Hail To The Thief, but every other album they've done is comparable in terms of quality. In Rainbows and OK Computer stand above the rest for me though but there really isn't much in it

[kaosmark2]

Yeah, this is more what I meant. Of course there are people that like all Radiohead, but a lot that I have spoken to have a preferred era as opposed to chopping and changing through the albums in terms of favourites.

[worm]

Pablo Honey's a bit shit, leaving The Bends as the only definitively rock album worth listening to.

Aye, pretty much. That's pretty much Radioheads body of work for me.

Reckoner ftw. That defines In Rainbows for me :-)

Kid A > OKC > IR > AM > TB > HTTT >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.. PH

EDIT: Although Blowout is a phenomenal song .

radiohead have the potential and ability to be one of the best headliners reading ever had but i fear that if they headlined they would look down their noses at the curry-eating,beer swilling festival goers and play a pile of obscure mid paced plodders that only about 10% of the festival goers would appreciate.

[tylerdurden]

would be hilarious like,

festival republic should stipulate that they need to play certain hits,

imagine them just playing a headline set full of obscure album tracks and b-sides haha

amazing.

[brettredmayne]

Any one see 15 steps at the Grammys, was amazing

[rivalschools.price]

just out of interest, have you seen radiohead live?

[Role Model]

I think V Festival proved they're willing to play a set full of the hits if its right for the surroundings.
