A Moon Shaped Pool has grown to be one of my favourite albums by them this thread made me realize how much songs from there I absolutely love: Daydreaming, Glass Eyes, Present Tense, Full Stop, identikit... It has a very specific vibe for me that somehow is enhanced by the Daydreaming music video

i do love daydreaming and the video is amazing, thom has drip in it too

I always got the vibe that Thom was a sweet guy with social anxiety that made him seem kind of aloof and maybe pretentious to some, but that's not really who he is.

I've been listening to Radiohead since 2004, I was 13, and I think what I love most about them is that no matter how long they make music they keep finding ways to surprise me.

Like with AMSP, that's very much a Jonny and Nigel joint in terms of sound. It's not hugely surprising. But I never thought a Radiohead album would crush me like that emotionally.

I didn't know what the album was "about," what inspired it when I first heard it, and I remember reading about all the details on my second listen. I don't know what it was, but I just started crying and didn't stop for the whole album. Especially with True Love Waits, you know, that's part of Radiohead lore. It's a classic. And to hear the song become what it did and why...it's just heartbreaking. That's Thom, he's been one of my heroes since I was in junior high, and he's getting vulnerable on a whole new level there. So that's why I love that album.

wow I respect it. your take on the songs from comlag fall right inline with your love for HTTT. Personally im a sucker for anything documented during '99-'01, so something like I Might Be Wrong gets more spins out of me than say airbag/no surprises/the rest of the ep's.

Kid A
In Rainbows 1
AMSP
Amnesiac
TKOL
OKC
The Bends
HTTT
In Rainbows 2
Pablo Honey

In Rainbows 2 always felt like an epilogue of HTTT-era and a deep dive into Thom fully actualizing his Neil Young songwriting angle. Whereas I love a song like Down is the New Up performed solo in Thom's basement performance, I think its too overproduced for its own good on the studio version.

I'll always feel like im missing out compared to people who love HTTT lol. There are songs on there that I love (scatterbrain being a big one for me), but as a whole it just doesn't scratch the itch. It feels like the overthinking got the best of them, and they were in need of a recalibration, as the band has admitted themselves.

weird fishes and all I need

This the only right answer

1. OKC
2. In Rainbows
3. Kid A
4. AMSP
5. The Bends
6. Amnesiac or TKOL not sure tbh I haven't heard TKOL in a while
8. HTTT
9. Pablo Honey

I like all of these albums, including Pablo Honey. One of the best discographies ever. It says a lot that all of our rankings are so wildly different.

my favorite tbh

or

this up there too

Idioteque

I’ve never really listened to them. Someone put me on. I like alternative stuff but is this in the vein of red hot chilli peppers, Gorillaz, áudioslave..type s***?

That took some time before someone posted the right answer

No wrong answers

Very disappointed this didn't come up at all

Top 3 and goat music video

impossible to answer confidently imo they have so many classic tracks

High & Dry, Creep, Videotape

optimistic for me

either everything in its right place or jigsaw falling into place

Weird Fishes

imo it’s their richest and most colorful album, it’s creative and as radiohead as it gets, it’s old, familiar but new and unfamiliar, you get songs that goes back to more rock or acoustic, mellow, yet you still get more of the electro scene, a best of of both of these worlds but still with new grounds in between, some jazz, some “rap”, it’s definitely the most entertaining and fun album by them imo
