Heavy fanboyism detected. Claiming that something is the best of anything, especially a band in modern music, is pretty much shouting at the top of your lungs that you are right and there is no alternate opinion. Pretty pretentious IMO. They are a good band, but come on. Should have made it "My favorite band" or something, or "Intro to Radiohead." Would have gone over better.

Yeah, I also thought about that, it surely would have been better. When I wrote the article, I was listening to "in rainbows" and my mind was blown again...so I got a bit over-emotional, I guess. All glory to Motör...erm Radiohead!

unfortunately their most "popular" song (Creep) is HORRIBLE god what an awful song
everything else past pablo honey is super good... I didn't like hail to the thief too much initially but it's grown on me.
non-conformist much ?
ya rly. Creep is great. Probably my second favorite song of theirs after "everything in its right place." I've listened to Paranoid Android so many times and I can't find anything to make me like it anymore than a 4 out of 5. Also I read this glowing review of the song Weird Fishes about how great the lyrics were... and honestly I think I have written better fish-related lyrics.

weird fishes is definitely in my top 5
song really grew on me. EIITP is my favorite too though so hifive
If you tell a british girl your favorite band is Radiohead she will be your sex slave and eventually marry you. If its a guy... well, I think its the same
Ok I guess to continue the topic of conversation my favorite songs in no particular order are:
Paranoid Android, Karma Police, Homesick Subterranean Alien, Idioteque, Let Down, How To Disappear Completely, Like Spinning Plates, Life in a Glass House, Sail to the Moon, Backdrifts.
My all-time favorite band as well. Such fantastic music. I'm too tired now but I'll post some of my favourites songs there later (Grooveshark/YouTube links).
MBV gets praise from hipsters who pretend to be "really into shoegaze" but have no idea who the Lilys are. They have one good album, and will never release anything else, get over it.
Although I have qualms about calling any band the "best band ever", radiohead is one of my favorites (Kid-A and post). I have a feeling that most people think of radiohead pre KidA, which really is more mediocre comparatively. Radiohead has a welcome complexity to their minimalist music, and I guess its why I like them. Edit: Oh, and muse sucks comparatively.
ahahaha another hipster caught up in pretentious garbage radiohead has like 3 great songs (creep, paranoid android, there there) and then like 9 albums worth of filler there are so many bands out there that are more technically skilled, better songwriters, better conceptual writers etc etc etc it's not even funny but radiohead is definitely a good "surface indie" band for those who need to use music as a way to look down on other people imo imo
