Radiohead Headlining 2017

[stuartbert two hats]

If you removed Morning Mr Magpie, Little by Little and Feral, then you've got one of the most staggeringly beautiful and powerful EPs ever recorded.

An an album it has serious issues(see above songs), but over half of the songs are really, really good. I'll defend that closing run of three tunes to my death.

Seperator is as good a closing track as any they have.

I've never been 100% on Give up the Ghost but Codex doesn't get the credit it deserves for being an unbelievably beautiful track.

I'll go further.  It's their best.  Yep.

Confession time... I can quite easily listen to TKOL in isolation and not get bored. But it's still number 8 in my list like.

My issue with TKOL is that its the only Radiohead album that makes me understand my friends opinion that Radiohead are boring. (I don't think that, I absolutely love them)

I have a spare ticket for Manchester night 2 if anyone wants it (5th july). Face value obviously. 

Anyone interested or know anyone who may be?

I should have mentioned that the ticket is for standing.

I'm such a tease, and you're such a flirt.

What a shocking song. I don't remember the last time I listened to that album.

[SwedgeAntilles]

I've definitely got increasingly more appreciative of TKOL over the last few months. I've never really connected with Amnesiac and if I'm being honest there's probably a case to be made for TKOL sneaking into 7th place.

I came across this old article - http://www.stereogum.com/1785919/30-essential-radiohead-non-album-tracks/franchises/radiohead-week/ - and realised I've never got into non-album Radiohead, despite loving all their albums (except PH). So I'm having a Radiohead b-side listening party today. Any recommendations for their best non-album tracks, or those that they have a reasonably good chance of playing in their Glastonbury set?

Doubt they'd play any except Talk Show Host to be honest.

Would bloody love that! What are the chances, do we think?

They played it at Primavera, so who knows. Slim, I'd expect, but not impossible

Citing times.

I follow this thread with a fairly casual interest compared to most as I don't mind hugely what they play, although I'm crossing everything for tracks from The Bends. Besides that, a decent showing from OKC and In Rainbows and I'll be happy. Not long now...

You'll almost certainly be a happy bunny! I think that although we can be obsessives, we're all gonna leave the Pyramid field very satisfied.

No real huge chance of any B-sides. Talk Show Host might get an airing.

 

My fave non-album stuff:

The Daily Mail

Polyethylene

Last Flowers

Cuttooth

Kinetic

Lull

Palo Alto

Pearly

 

To be honest most of the B-sides are good. Didn't even mention Fog, Worrywort, Trans-Atlantic Drawl, Down is the New Up, Bangers and Mash, blah blah blah.

I agree! And I love AMSP too, so I can't really lose

The National and Radiohead in one year... still feeling very spoilt.

Still not over The National turning up so unexpectedly. The feeling I got when I moved onto the second line of the poster and saw them there was amazing.

I love Amnesiac. I've really binged on it recently and I think it's a fantastic record. I'd go as far to say the best tracks from Amnesiac are as good if not better than anything from Kid A, it's just clearly not as cohesive a package. 

Also, Separator is good but MPS is clearly their best closing track.

[Hugh Jass]

I'm terrible after a Radiohead gig for focusing on what they didn't play rather than what they did.

[Walter Sobchak]

Oh how'd I love a spinning plates piano version!

Agree here. Dollars and Cents, Life in a Glasshouse, You and Whose Army, I Might Be Wrong, Pyramid Song. It's a cracking album.
