I can’t believe I’m
doing this to myself, but…
Having once spent
several years of my life saying Radiohead were a bunch of overhyped bores with fake
suicidal tendencies, I then had to admit they were not entirely without talent.
In fact, even the patchy Pablo Honey
is not without its certain awkward charm.
Overall: mopey but
adventurous. These are five of their best songs.
#5. “You Never Wash
Up After Yourself”
Shows that Radiohead
have a sense of humour. From My Iron Lung
EP. That chord progression never fails.
#4. “Electioneering”
“Paranoid Android”? “Karma
Police?” “Airbag”? No. This is the
best song from OK Computer.
#3. “Everything In
Its Right Place”
Pure aural bliss. However,
if you want to laugh, here’s the most embarrassing review in the history of the universe. Those silly twats.
#2. “Street Spirit
(Fade Out)”
I never much cared
for The Bends (having heard it after
the age of 18), but nobody can deny the sheer hypnotism of its last track.
#1. “A Wolf At The
Door”
Dance you fucker.
You mean to say " You never wash up after yourself" is better than "Just", "15 Step", "Paranoid Android", "Fake plastic trees", "No surprises", "2+2=5", "Lucky" (I could go on)...?
ReplyDeleteYes. Unquestionably better.
