The Radiohead POX

Anyway, here is my POX. It looks very much like an alternative OKC track listing, not because everything else they've done sucks, but before OKC was such a classic:

1. Exit Music (For Films)
2. Paranoid Android
3. Let Down
4. Subterranean Homesick Alien
5. Lucky
6. Airbag
7. High And Dry
8. Karma Police
9. Fake Plastic Trees
10.The Tourist

Too hard! And Amnesiac works so well as an album, it's almost impossible to pick specific tracks.

Pyramid Song
Life in a Glass House
There There
The National Anthem
True Love Waits (the version with keyboards!)
Exit Music (for a Film)
Lucky
Paranoid Android

xp idgi, "Fitter Happier" barely registers with me at this point except as a collection of cliches (which admittedly may have been less cliched in 1996) with sound-design just interesting enough to keep from skipping ahead to hear "Electioneering" -- admittedly a good idea to sequence it after "Karma Police" (for CD anyway; on the 2xLP "Karma Police" closes side 2, "Fitter Happier" kicks off the second disc, & I am getting tripped up trying to imagine this)
maybe I need to relisten

also limiting myself to the "one per album + 1 b-side" rule

MaresNest I respect & honor your idiosyncratic choice of "The Tourist", in ways that I categorically refuse to extend to anyone who reps "Fitter Happier"

Davey D are you part of the surprising silent majority of "Nice Dream" lovers, or did we already go over this on another thread?
(fwiw I have listened to (Nice Dream) a handful of times since then & have come to appreciate what others see in it, not least: its ability to hold up under repeated listening scrutiny)

... that concludes this installment of "Being Judgmental Towards Other Radiohead Fans" -- join us again at this hour tomorrow, when I'll share my ranking of songs on The Bends by how hype I get when I sing them in my car on the way to work out ~~

Bernard, is it really that unusual? The cut bar/chord change combo in the verses is so lovely.

The eight OKC era b-sides alone make a fantastic mini album.

Nice Dream would be one of my choices for old songs which I'd love to hear re-recorded and adapted to the new AMSP arrangements and production values.

Davey D are you part of the surprising silent majority of "Nice Dream" lovers, or did we already go over this on another thread?

Definitely didn't discuss on another thread - I'm not sure what it is I love so much about this song. It just possesses this humble, melancholy air that nothing else from this era of Radiohead quite hits upon, at least for me... I'm also happily surprised to see it popping up so frequently here.

I should possibly note that my experience of Radiohead was entirely derived from albums + a few music videos back in the day ; my first and only experience of them as a live band was earlier this week, when I youtubed a clip from Austin City Limits in which Thom Yorke does a little swaggy dance while singing "Broken hearts / Make it rain"

in other words, if some people were to like "Nice Dream" because it's a song from the band's earlier incarnation which they've continued to play live throughout the years -- that entire dimension would be lost on me

sorry, that's "(Nice Dream)"

Seconded

top ten dr tchock enunciations

haven't listened to any of these in a while but they are burned into my brain

TEN. "lemon" - you know the one, when the song starts to turn and you can picture him screwing his wee little face up
9. "does" - this goes on for such a long time it goes through several forms, transcends its meaning and becomes a delicate mystery
8."cafés" - spat out very nicely with an extra syllable and everything
7. "wide" - good synergy between semantic content and underenunciated gaping delivery where it sounds like he might be drowning in his own voice
SIX."fire" - captures the whole vibe in one good moment
5. "uncle" - demented grunt for the first syllable a particular highlight
4. "California" - mb grimes has topped this in terms of expansive delivery but the way he rouses himself to reach the third syllable is A+ tchocky goodness
3/ "holy" - he sounds so weary
2. "roman" - like the last man alive at the end of the world doing his duty
1. "empire" - it never fails to make my heart sing

i forget which radiohead thread was being used to discuss the OKNOTOK cassette tape, but it's shipping worldwide today so i expect we'll be able to hear it very soon

ordered mine, will report back

can we all swear a sacred oath to bump this whenever it leaks? and by all i mean you and me at this point, tetrahedron

i will go ahead and draw my own blood in preparation for the oath

because this tape will definitely meet all of my expectations and i won't be disappointed in the slightest

Relevant to your interests KM

thanks!

I might be wrong

I don’t think I’ll ever love an album of theirs as much as I love Kid A so that’s always top tier for me but I find it weird that the songs from the TKOL sessions are the other ones I keep coming back to the most. Is TKOL my second favorite Radiohead album!?

I did mine a while ago. Ordered, too (highest first)
