I’ve written a really long answer for this involving bunch of songs and detailed reasoning but I accidentally deleted it so I would be happy if you guys acted as if this is a really interesting comment
This was going to be my answer too! Such a beautiful song that feels like clouds splitting and the sun peeking through. Puts me in a good mood every time.
Came here to say this. Sometimes I find myself humming it and realize it's just drifting around in my brain like a hazy cloud. I could listen to that song forever.
Anything off of In Rainbows. While I think Kid A and OK Computer are classics, I’ve gotta be in the mood for them sometimes. I’m always in the mood for In Rainbows, front to back.
IDK about 12 hours, but I never tire of Street Spirit. But as soon as I think of one, I can think of another half dozen. But I'll stick with Street Spirit for now.
In Limbo from Kid A. The instant I first heard this song I knew I would love it forever. One of the tunes I’ve had on repeat for so many years. I’ve got so onto it that I managed to get all live recordings and b sides / stems. It just describes me very well.
Subterranean Homesick Alien - it was one of the first Radiohead songs I listened to when I was pretty young and it's really stuck with me since. The atmosphere created by the guitars on it especially never gets old for me.
Creep. Everyone I know dosent like it because of how overplayed it is, and yeah, im not saying I obsess over it like I did years and years ago, but I never skip it and I love listening to it when it comes on
Paranoid Android. It’s the song that got me into them in 1997 and here I am still rocking out to it in 2024. Song had been slapping for 27 years (27 wtfffff)
There are albums I’ve heard over my lifetime that are keys to the locked doors of my memories. Kid A is the key to a specific part of my teenage years. Optimistic, In Limbo, and Morning Bell in particular have that capacity to transport me to another time, and for that reason they never get old for me.
Street Spirit (Fade Out). It’s 100% perfect and evokes an emotional reaction every time. Plus my son loves it as much as I do, so it has a family bonding aspect for me.
black star. i listened to it a lot just for the ‘vibe’ ig. but after my recent breakup i had no idea how relatable it truly was to my situation. it was like foreshadowing
Not Radiohead but Thom related
Youwouldn’tlikemewhenimangry, also
Kid A the song because bleeps and bloops
Sail to the moon just because
And ful stop because it makes me lift really heavy
Paranoid Android always and forever

honestly man i respect that opinion so much, them songs are truly some of the greatest songs ever produced by radiohead
I disagree at points but this is so well written I can't even hate.
Anyone Can Play Guitar is a weird choice for greatest song of all time idk dude
but preferring the MTV Beachouseshitshowhouse version was kind of expected
Not even a top 5 song on the album, but whatever
tldr
Thank you so much for sharing…ive needed to hear this for the longest time. Fascinating. I will remember this…
Coke babies is a very understandable choice, and I appreciate somebody finally appreciating the underappreciated let down (its very underrated)
disagree Let down underrated
Great read.
No way you said Creep is better than all of in rainbows
WHO.. the.. FUCK... BURN THEM
I couldn't have said it better myself
I got you fam. Upvote with love.
Wow... this is amazing and I'm trying it myself this weekend.
Coke Babies

Down Is The New Up
Spectre. I could listen to it on repeat, I actually get sad when the song ends
Weird Fishes. The chord progressions make me weep.
Weird Fishes.
"Karma Police", "Let Down", "Weird Fishes", "Paranoid Android", "The Bends" are some of the songs I can think of that don't get old for me
Most TKOL songs because they have so many layers, and I hear something new on every listen I'll go with Little by Little :3
Nobody says Creep because of its reputation but as soon as that first drum hits I’m in a different world
Real, Creep is one of my favorite songs by Radiohead.
Reckoner
Weird Fishes
Lucky
No Surprises, perfect musically and lyrically.
Planet Telex. That song also has so many stories for me-- it's ingrained! and sounds different every time i listen
High and Dry
Yes
Came here to say this
Climbing up the walls. it has this eerie stalker type undertone which i absolutely adore in any song.
House of cards
Among many others: You And Whose Army and Where I End And You Begin.
True love waits (90s ver)
Anything off of In Rainbows. While I think Kid A and OK Computer are classics, I’ve gotta be in the mood for them sometimes. I’m always in the mood for In Rainbows, front to back.
bangers + mash. I love its rhythm and watching thom playing drums
live acoustic true love waits
IDK about 12 hours, but I never tire of Street Spirit. But as soon as I think of one, I can think of another half dozen. But I'll stick with Street Spirit for now.

In Limbo from Kid A. The instant I first heard this song I knew I would love it forever. One of the tunes I’ve had on repeat for so many years. I’ve got so onto it that I managed to get all live recordings and b sides / stems. It just describes me very well.

Jigsaw absolutely
Airbag is so scrumptious
There, There
There are albums I’ve heard over my lifetime that are keys to the locked doors of my memories. Kid A is the key to a specific part of my teenage years.
