I think I must have lurked for a couple of years before signing up and posting. You're already one of us if you remember the rollercoaster headliner thread of last year!

Seriously, join in - you're very welcome. Sorry for the offhand way I replied to that link. If I'd had noticed how few posts you'd made I wouldn't have been such a knob.

I've been lurking since after my first Glastonbury (09) but that thread was the best. Madness.

No need to apologise I wasn't trying to make a thing of it ahah, I meant that post in a very lighthearted way, this wouldn't have happened in human conversation. If I wasn't so against emoticons nothing would have come of it.

Hi all...This will be my first Glastonbury since 1997. Saw RH headline then and have decided that it's happening again in 2016. I was 21 then and will be 40 when June rolls around, so they obviously have a thing for celebrating my landmark birthdays. Also think that their new album will released in May or June, echoing OKC and HTTT which was released in those months when they headlined in 97 and 03. They symmetry is, frankly, astonishing.

 

Anyway, for what it's worth...

1. Kid A

2. In Rainbows

3. Amnesiac

4. OK Computer

5. Hail To The Thief

6. The Bends

7. King Of Limbs

8. Pablo Honey

And....

1. Weird Fishes

2. Reckoner

3. House of Cards

4. Nude

5. 15 Step

6. All I Need

7. Faust Arp

8. Jigsaw

9. Bodysnatchers

10. Videotape

You've ruined it, we'll never see priest again now. 

I bet he was a great priest too, really knew how to work the altar 

God I love saying mass.

That would be an ecumenical matter

Yeah you can stay, a profound level of positivity and an appreciation of list and house of cards 

 

You're all I need

Agreed - nice opening list, Mr Telephone.

Pretty much impossible to choose 10, mind. No Knives Out, I see...!

It was a top 10 albums and a ranking of In Rainbows tracks from favourite to least favourite

And there's me looking like a Friday spanner...

Apologies for inadequate list-attention-to-detail, FF.

My 14 year old and I had a bit of a Radiohead session last night, trying to shame my 16 year old daughter into realising that most of what she listens too is utter shite!

Music snobbery is alive and well at Ben Towers^TM!

Might as well join in...

All I Need

 

Don't get the hate for House of Cards around here.

[SwedgeAntilles]

I don't hate House of Cards, it's just my least favourite song on the album. I think it's a bit bland and pales in comparison to similar-ish tracks like All I Need

[sheffieldlady]

I usually avoid Radiohead list because by the end of the day, I've changed my mind. 

1. Kid A
2. In Rainbows
3. Hail To The Thief
4. Amnesiac
5. OK Computer
6. Pablo Honey
7. King of Limbs
8. The Bends

But I do change my thought process often and I forget how much I love certain albums if I haven't listened to them in a while.

[dentalplan]

As much as I like to pretend I don't care about people's lists... what does everyone have against Videotape?

[EamerRed]

Must admit I've never really bothered listening to Radiohead, for the same reason that I always avoided listening to The Smiths and Mozza (who I now love), because of a so-called 'bad' or 'boring' reputation. After reading this thread and with all the rumours I gave them a go, and all I can say is I've been missing out!

[Mash011]

Never been mad about Videotape, I'd probably put that that last if I did a list. It's a good song but doesn't wow me like the rest of the album.

They've not listened to it properly

In all seriousness, it's a song I wasn't keen on for a while, but it grew on me over time to be one of my favourites.  Liking it gives me a sense of superiority over others

In general that's what liking Radiohead is all about

Repeat after me: "The Bends?  That album is entry level"

[sheffieldlady]

I love Videotape. Brilliant song.

Agreed.

[jparx]

Videotape is excellent. 

I also like House of Cards quite a bit. So much of Radiohead's back catalogue is abstract and boundary pushing, it's nice to hear them release a fairly straightforward and catchy song. Guitar work is also quite beautiful on that track.

That being said it is one of the weakest songs on the album 

[T-Mouse]

A compiled list of peoples favourite OK Computer. Its criminal that SHA is lingering just above the relegation zone.

Yeah pretty much how I feel about it. It's good but it doesn't come close to the high points of the album for me

[seagulls]

i have a hunch that Radiohead will kick glasto off on the other stage on Friday morning.  Sounds ridiculous i know, just a hunch.

[The Red Telephone]

My wife has always referred to them as "one of those whiny bands you listen to". When the prospect of then playing this year arose, she asked to me to play her something that would change her mind. I showed her this. She thinks they're ok now :-)
