haha. I can remember replaying it for my best friend's dad (who actually has an awesome but entirely different taste in music), and he basically reacted that way.

It would be awesome if 'There, There' took #1

Wow, that SNL performance, they're totally outside themselves.
Also, is Thom Yorke a tiny little guy or did he just look like he was 5'1" via camera angles?
xp - Pyramid Song, boom, there's my #1.

<3 pyramid song

"'Pyramid Song' is me being totally obsessed by a Charlie Mingus song called Freedom and I was just trying to duplicate that, really. Our first version of 'Pyramid' even had all the claps that you hear on Freedom. Unfortunately, our claps sounded really naff, so I quickly erased them."

"Pyramid Song" is the song who rating on ILM is most out of sync with mine. I think it's sewage, easily the worst Radiohead song. I just get it. It sounds like I feel when I'm gonna barf.
― Euler, Thursday, 11 September 2014 20:13 (nine years ago) link
When it came out a friend asked me what I thought of OK Computer. "I like the sparkly one," I said. He knew exactly which one I meant. Let Down is the song that made me love that album.

Both "Idioteque" (that SNL performance was amazing, I remember watching it thinking "last time I felt this way about an SNL musical guest, it was The Sugarcubes") and "Pyramid Song" (stately escalation done to perfection; this band really understands crescrendo) are easily among Radiohead's best work. Both were in my top 10.
― stacked as fuck & imposing (DJP), Thursday, 11 September 2014 20:30 (nine years ago) link
I am actually shocked "Paranoid Android" wasn't #2!

Not sure my ballot would've been enough to push EIIRP up to #1, but still awesome it ranked that high.

It's not an awful song, but I always found it pretty underwhelming, like a muted but slightly faster "Optimistic," but without any of that song's mystery, tension, or energy.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Thursday, 11 September 2014 20:51 (nine years ago) link
There There was my number 3, everything was my number 6. This is a great top ten, even if my number one placed back in te 20s.
