Pyramid Song being the most perfect song Radiohead has ever recorded, and probably my favourite song of all time.

Edit: oops that was meant to be an edit of my post not quoting it

Pyramid Song is on top of mine as well, but then Amnesiac is their best album so...naturally. :agesilaus:

I listen to music in too many different places to get an accurate list like that, but I'm pretty sure my most frequently played song is Reckoner. It's not my absolute favorite but I like it a lot and listen to it most frequently because I was learning it on piano for a while.

Combining my old last.fm (which I haven't used since last year) and my current music player, here's my top 10 Radiohead songs in play frequency:

1. Everything in its Right Place (Kid A + I Might Be Wrong + every bootleg I have on which they play this)

2. Like Spinning Plates

3. Reckoner (I forgot this was my favorite track on In Rainbows back when it came out and I listened to it a ton then.)

4. Videotape

5. Idioteque

6. Nude

7. Ful Stop

8. Glass Eyes

9. Identikit (No big secret what my favorite stretch of A Moon Shaped Pool is, I guess.)

10. Pyramid Song

This list would look very, very different with car listens included.

I've been using Last.fm for years, but I feel like the count is a bit messed up - top three however are accurate:

I was just doing this with a pal recently. My iTunes got reset at some point a few years ago so the results aren't super accurate to my all-time listens. Not quite sure how the two instrumentals crept in there but numbers are numbers I guess.



Maybe more interesting is your top 10 least listened to tracks:



I chopped a few b-side compilations and things outta this or they'd all be live versions / remixes (also AMSP as it's only had a few spins so far).

Oh and Spectre is on Spotify. Another song added to Spotify. I don't know if they're teasing eventually releasing Moon-Shaped Pool there or what.

They've really coordinated their poo poo this year. Album release with first live show after less than two weeks, two music videos and a third probably coming now.

Listening to live stream of Amsterdam show. No strings. Burn the Witch sounded massive, if slightly shaky.

E: I think they're playing the album in order?

Yep. They did this the first show after they released "In Rainbows", IIRC.

Edit: Or not, because now they're playing "Morning Mr. Magpie". Weird.

I would assume it sounds like the version released on radiohead's new album, a moon shaped pool

It's been a while since I listened to a TKOL live version, but there's certainly a larger emphasis on the guitars, longer buildup like the album, they maintain the disco vocals during the bridge, and there's the new guitar solo to end it.

Ful Stop rocked a lot harder, and Thom played his handheld keyboard. Lotus Flower seemed a lot more focused than usual, too.

Holy poo poo, Burn the Witch sounds like a HTTT-style rocker live. Completely different arrangement.

That arrangement of Burn the Witch confirms that it has one of the best choruses Radiohead have ever written. A soaring, thrilling melody. Works just as well here as it does on the record.

The tom drum intro also fits the theme well - it's evocative of flaming torches, rituals, tribalism. But it also sounds jubilant.

... It also confirms that the song ends too suddenly, though.

OK Computer is 19 years old today! Wonder if tonight's set list will include it?

I expect a fluid, changing setlist, maybe there will be part 2 of AMSP tonight.

By the time I see them in Portugal they will be poo poo hot! Or tired...

Nice seeing Videotape and My Iron Lung make an appearance, hope they both become regulars on this tour. Also hoping they dig a bit into their back catalogue some more. It was fun having songs like Amazing Sounds of Orgy and Meeting in the Aisle pop up during TKoL tour.

I'd like Down is the New Up and especially The Butcher. Both would be perfect for the two-drummer setup and I was surprised and disappointed they didn't play them on the TKOL tour.

I think they officially allow taping? I know they sometimes give out soundboards to fans who take video.

Were there any soundboards of the old versions of Ful Stop & Identikit made available? The old live versions were so much better than what made it onto the album and having some decent recordings without the crowd being audible would be great, the same goes for Cut a Hole & Skirting on the Surface as well.

There was a soundboard for Bonaroo, but a matrix of the San Jose show is probably the best recording available from that tour. Identikit was the only song you mentioned played at either show, however.

Not sure if the other songs found their way on any superior recordings, but I kinda stopped paying attention after the North American leg of the tour was over.

Lets rate the songs on AMSP from greatest to least.


1. Daydreaming (by a loving landslide, one of the top five Radiohead songs altogether.)
2. The Present tense
3. Deck's Dark
4.True Love Waits
5. Tinker Tailor
6. Burn the Witch
7. Identikit
8. Glass eyes
9. The Numbers
10. Desert Island Disk
11. Ful Stop

It's a hard list to sort because I like every song on the album. The only one's I'm very confident about are the top 3.


Top ten Radiohead of all time in order starting with the best

1. Pyramid Song (Again, absolute winner without question. One of the greatest pieces of music of all time. Mozart, Liszt, Saint-Saens and Debussy wish they wrote a song this good. )
2. Let Down
3. Kid A
4. Daydreaming
5. How I Made My Millions
6. Codex
7. Videotape
8. A Wolf at the door
9. How to Disappear Completely
10. Scatterbrain


I'm sure my all time list will not be agreed with by many. The top 5 were pretty easy to decide on but 6-10 was very difficult. But every song I listed is a masterpiece with an impeccably executed performance on the record. Wolf at the door will probably be the most contentious. The subtitles of instrumentation and the exact virtual instruments used make it stand out strongly to my ear. Really wanted to put Separator, Exit Music and Worrywort on that list.

List of all Radiohead songs

None of Mozart's, Liszt's, Debussy's or Saint-Saens's albums are anywhere near as good as Radiohead's catalogue, and those guys produced a LOT of albums!!
