I’d also love to hear stories about how it moved you on your first or 100th time listening to it.
The entire album is incredible, but I would say Videotape. Simply awesome. The syncopation is great even if I haven’t looked into it much. I honestly thought the repetiotnnof “in videotape” was weird but now its really grown on me. The entire album has really grown on me, my first listen I thought it was good but nothing special. Now its one of my favorite albums of all time. Kid A is still the best Radiohead album, though.
Reckoner
But I like the From The Basement version more.
That lemon shaker 🍋
The opener, 15 Step. I mean, it doesn’t live up to Creep, but nothing ever will.
My favorites:
- Jigsaw Falling into Place
- Reckoner
- Bodysnatchers
- 4 Minute Warning
I think the whole album is great from start to finish.

Never heard the album before, so I skimmed it.
Bodysnatcher has a really cool riff that I’m trying to instrumentally wrap my head around.This isn’t an album to “skim”.
You are probably right, but having Gabbys Dollhouse on full blast in the living room while I wait for the kids’ bedtime doesn’t allow for much active listening.
I think it’s really impossible to pick just one, but gun to my head, I’d pick Weird Fishes. It’s got strong energy, but it’s still introspective and emotional, great backing vocals, great Thom vocals, and as a bassist I love a lot of the bass work in that song.
One of my favourite pieces of music, a treat for the ears and soul. Love the arrangement of the arppegiated guitars and rhodes piano, and ya when the bass kicks into the second half it rules.
I know I’ll get down-voted for this, but it’s pronounced overratediohead.
Can I pick something off Disk 2? It’s Bangers + Mash.
The lyrics, Thom’s crazed singing, the way the instruments drop out and back in throughout the verses, the stumbling overlapped drum patterns, the opposing guitars, 1 repetitive and monotonous and the other with a frantic riff…
If we’re talking on the album, it’s Jigsaw Falling into Place. Bodysnatchers, 15 Step, Weird Fishes, and House of Cards are all very close though.
