Oh well. Having seen them at the O2 where I thought they were jaw droppingly good was really hoping they would headline.

What gets me about this is that some people genuinely believe that shouting out song titles will influence a band's set list! I mean how often (if ever) has this actually happened?

I was at that 2003 Manchester Apollo gig too!

I saw them twice in Sydney last week, which were the 8th and 9th times I've seen them and although that Apollo gig was absolutely brilliant they're a far better live band these days.

Their live show somehow manages to appeal more to the neutral than they ever did whilst playing fewer songs that the neutrals will actually know. That's some feat but certainly seems to be the case from the various people I know in both Australia and the UK who have been dragged along to their shows without being massive fans.

I was on the rail in front of Thom for their Park Stage gig last year and it was truly special.

The thing I find fascinating about this thread is almost everyone who has posted has a different favourite song! Remarkable. Shows that Radiohead really are a band who have developed over the years and are still doing stuff which is different to the older stuff. Some love the new stuff but like the older stuff less, and vicer versa. Some like me love both the older and the newer, it couldn't almost be a whole new band, but with Thoms haunting vocals still there

I am not sure if there are any other bands who can have such different views on which is their best song?

Fair play to them, don't change

... But please keep playing Fake Plastic Trees live please...

I've never found two people who have the same favourite Beatles songs. Some prefer their older stuff, some their later stuff, although there is a unifying force, no one prefers a Ringo song.

[chickenfire]

I really do hope they play, yes it wouldn't be the most inspired booking but imo would be the perfect headliner for my first Glastonbury.

My Favourite Album - Ok Computer

Song - Jigsaw Falling Into Place

[Gucci Piggy]

Album: Ok Computer

Song: Let Down/Paranoid Android/2+2=5/Reckoner

That bit in Let Down after the instrumental gives me goosebumps every single time.

[howlinpete]

Album: In Rainbows

Song: Everything In Its Right Place

Those first five notes give me goosebumps whenever they come through my headphones, absolutely love the tone of the synth

[Filthy]

Album : ok computer

Song : let down / last flowers in the hospital / daily mail/ iron lung so hard to pick one

Weirdly I'm not that keen on kid a and amnesiac as albums but love individual songs off both. love the earlier and later ones though including king of limbs

Would be great to see them abroad.

How did you get tickets down under? My brother (lives in melbourne) and his mates tried to get tickets but the touts had em sold out in seconds! C*nts.

Was somewhat behind you in the park that epic friday and despite a bit of rain, I could've left glasto happy that night. If only just for street spirit....

[Mr. Cowbell]

I saw them in Amsterdam in 2006 2 days before my 18th birthday.

The set from what I can remember was excellent and the venue was superb, the Heineken Music Hall it was next to Ajax's stadium the Amsterdam Arena. For some reason Ticketmaster sent me a ticket for the night that we saw them but also a ticket for the following night where they were playing another show in Amsterdam. I decided to sell the ticket outside to a tout for 50 Euros I think it only cost about 25 quid yet they never played the next day as Phil Selway's mum passed away that night. Mr. Cowbell - 1 Tout - 0.

Here's the set list for that show too:
