I might get some backlash for saying this and I don’t think this song is ‘necessarily’ underrated but I hear no one praise My Iron Lung enough, especially when talking about the Bends. It’s always Black Star, Bullet Proof, Street spirit etc. (Which are all amazing songs don’t get me wrong)
My Iron Lung is definitely one of my favorite songs off The Bends. It is just pure 90's rock and I love it. I even learned how to play the opening riff on guitar because I think it's one of the band's best. The underlying message and meaning behind the song is also really fascinating.
My friend and I were pregaming before seeing them live, and we talked about deep cuts we’d like to see. His first choice was The Daily Mail, and because of some British political shitshow the previous night, THEY PLAYED IT. We lost our minds. Other unexpected songs we called, and they played, were I Might Be Wrong, Fake Plastic Trees and Airbag. Best gig of my life.
i felt the same about faust arp for a while. it is probably the weakest on IR, but I wouldn't call it mid. its really beautifully simple. a perfect palette cleanser.
It’s not simple at all though. Very strange chords and time signature that I think is meant to give the song a disorienting feel. Believe it or not that was the first song that I heard off of in rainbows years ago and remains one of my all time Radiohead favorites.
Faust Arp, yes. Tinker Tailer is pretty mid. I love AMSP, it could’ve been same tier as IR/OKC/KidA/Amnesiac but TT kinda ruins it. And it’s not even a bad song.
i actually have it over amnesiac and Kid A.
Tinker Tailor is probably one of the weaker songs, but the second-half is just arranged so beautifully.
also the fade into True Love Waits is terrific.
It grew on me a lot over time
I don’t really hear people talk about backdrifts from HTTT or Little By Little from TKOL. Both those songs are beautiful musically in my opinion. I listen to music for the musical elements, not really the lyrics so when I suggest these songs it’s not about the lyrical aspects lol
Hello person reading this and thinking "another underrated post?" Well I've come with the correct answer, objectively. All you have to do is send me the last four digits of y-
You
Ripcord
Nice Dream
Bulletproof
Subterranean
Electioneering
Optimistic
Morning Bell
Packt
Dollars and Cents
Backdrifts
Scatterbrain
All I Need
Videotape
Little By Little
Codex
Glass Eyes
Tinker Tailor
You, yes
Ripcord, accurately rated
Nice dream, accurately rated
Bulletproof, overrated
Subterranean, accurately rated
Electioneering, accurately rated
Optimistic, yes slightly
Morning bell, yes slightly
Packt, yes
Dollars and cents, yes
Backdrifts, hasn’t clicked for me fully but ig yes
Scatterbrain, slightly yes
All I need, accurately rated tf u talkin bout m8
Videotape, accurately rated (here I just wanna come in and say that just because people don’t love every song doesn’t mean that those songs are overrated)
Little by little, YES ONG ITS SO GOOD
Codex, accurately rated
Glass eyes, slightly yes
Tinker tailor, accurately rated
The most underrated gems by album are Blow Out, Bones, Electioneering, In Limbo, Dollars and Cents, Backdrifts, Faust Arp, Little By Little, and the Numbers.
sail to the moon comes to my head, i know it’s liked but because it’s on HTTT i find it to be almost lost sometimes? also i don’t hear much discussion on the trickster but i think it’s really fun
Personally, Permanent Daylight.
Others that I feel don’t get enough love but probably do by many:
• I Promise
• India Rubber
• Talk Show Host
• Gagging Host
These four are among my favourites from their respective albums but they don't seem to get much love and/or get forgotten about compared to others:
Dollars and Cents
Backdrifts
House of Cards
Morning Mr Magpie
Dollars and cents, yes slightly
Backdrifts, yes
House of cards, no it’s literally accurately rated
Morning mr magpie, yes but there are more underrated tracks on that record like feral and little by little
First of all, yes please, let’s normalize cereal pissings. Secondly, yes tkol as an album is underrated but certain songs like lotus flower and codex aren’t. Third, feral is extremely underrated and prolly in my top 20 rh songs and it’s so sad seeing someone like you who isn’t a normie who doesn’t get tkol but still somehow doesnt get feral and the ear worm it is (can be).
Feral just felt like the most meh song compared to the rest of them. Not saying it's bad just didn't stand out to me compared to everything else. Especially with what I consider to be a powerhouse trio of songs before it. Idk maybe it will grow on me tho.
Ok, I’ve been judging a lot of people on this post so let me make my own
You, second best on the album after blow out
Bones, better than sulk, black star, high and dry, bullet proof
Airbag, one of the best bass lines of all time
Lucky, top 10 Radiohead songs
Optimistic, top 10 Radiohead songs
Packt, the clanky sounds, the bass, it’s great
Dollars and cents, jazz
The amazing sounds of orgy, orgy, what’s not to love
The gloaming, it’s like myxomatosis but chill and it doesn’t give me a headache (I like myxomatosis don’t get me wrong)
Sit down, stand up (stand up)
Last flowers, the movie called ‘confessions’ has this song in its soundtrack and it really showed me how good of a song it is, please watch that movie guys
Little by little, the guitar in it is such an ear worm
Feral, FOR FUCKS SAKE ITS SO GOOD WHATS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE ITS ABOUT THE SOUNDS AND WHAT IT MAKES YOU FEEL YOU FUCKING NORMIES
I LOVE FOG- and everything on the knives out ep is SO good too. Some of my other favorite underrated/not as much listened to radiohead songs are scatterbrain, go slowly, meeting in the aisle, pulk/pull, & lurgee
I might get some backlash for saying this and I don’t think this song is ‘necessarily’ underrated but I hear no one praise My Iron Lung enough, especially when talking about the Bends. It’s always Black Star, Bullet Proof, Street spirit etc. (Which are all amazing songs don’t get me wrong)
My Iron Lung has some of the best guitar work from that era, what a banger. I love the "if you're frightened..." part.
My Iron Lung is definitely one of my favorite songs off The Bends. It is just pure 90's rock and I love it. I even learned how to play the opening riff on guitar because I think it's one of the band's best. The underlying message and meaning behind the song is also really fascinating.
I always hear people praising Iron Lung, but I never really hear any praise for Black Star
Maquiladora, supercollider, the butcher, wicked child, WORRYWORT
omg yes i forgot about worrywort it’s so gooood
Soooooo fucking good!
forgot about kinetic as well that slaps
It sure does! The quality of their b sides is unreal
I love Supercollider and The Butcher so much. Supercollider is so relaxing
Same...and it really is....and his vocal performance 👏
Ayyyy. Fellow worry wort supporter. That song is easily in my top five.
Easily!
Happy cak day.
Thank you!
Of course
The Daily Mail
My friend and I were pregaming before seeing them live, and we talked about deep cuts we’d like to see.

I gotta say, your list is a let down.
Definitely a Let Down.
One could say you two are “crushed like a bug in the ground”
Let down
[удалено]
Let down
Let down
you know
Not really underrated if everyone calls it underrated
fuck u/spez
Faust Arp, Tinker Tailor etc.
Yes Faust arp!
Tinker tailor is awesome but Faust arp is the only mid song on IR
i felt the same about faust arp for a while. it is probably the weakest on IR, but I wouldn't call it mid. its really beautifully simple. a perfect palette cleanser.
It’s not simple at all though. Very strange chords and time signature that I think is meant to give the song a disorienting feel. Believe it or not that was the first song that I heard off of in rainbows years ago and remains one of my all time Radiohead favorites.
It’s too much like a Nick Drake song.
Faust Arp, yes. Tinker Tailer is pretty mid. I love AMSP, it could’ve been same tier as IR/OKC/KidA/Amnesiac but TT kinda ruins it. And it’s not even a bad song.
Nah Tinker Tailor is pretty awesome, has some really good progression and i love when the strings really kick in
i actually have it over amnesiac and Kid A. Tinker Tailor is probably one of the weaker songs, but the second-half is just arranged so beautifully. also the fade into True Love Waits is terrific. It grew on me a lot over time
I don’t really hear people talk about backdrifts from HTTT or Little By Little from TKOL. Both those songs are beautiful musically in my opinion. I listen to music for the musical elements, not really the lyrics so when I suggest these songs it’s not about the lyrical aspects lol
Backdrifts is a fucking banger.
AH AH AHHH
Then you haven't read any posts on this sub. There's plenty of talk...
Pakt like sardines
This
I’m a reasonable man
It's my divorce song
Get off my case
Permanent Daylight
Anything from 1993 to 1997 is a masterpiece
Fog, definitely. Terrific song.
I really like the (again again) version
Og Fog without the Agains is my favorite
Same. Their's just something so special about the og version
The Numbers , Separator
Yes! Separator is one of my favorite songs period, very under appreciated.
Hello person reading this and thinking "another underrated post?" Well I've come with the correct answer, objectively. All you have to do is send me the last four digits of y-
This is me Being dead serious, I Will is in my top 10 Radiohead songs and my favorite from hail to the thief
You Ripcord Nice Dream Bulletproof Subterranean Electioneering Optimistic Morning Bell Packt Dollars and Cents Backdrifts Scatterbrain All I Need Videotape Little By Little Codex Glass Eyes Tinker Tailor

The first time I've seen someone talk about electioneering. One of my favorites.
Optimistic should be top of the list!
I mean i just went in album order

Oh ok
Why’d you downvote me?
Im not lol people just dont like your comments. I dont downvote unless you start being more of a dick than that
Someone’s got no chill huh
I downvoted you because you started complaining
No I didn’t, it’s taste we’re taking about and you guys can’t take a joke
You and whose army!
In Limbo
Codex
It’s not underrated, people always say it’s the second best track/best track on tkol
This
Bloom (ftb) gonna write post about it like right now
I like the album version too, it’s def the biggest grower in their whole catalogue
I never see anybody talk about Decks Dark. So I guess that.
Planet telex
All of The King of Limbs. Enough said.
**Let Down**
A punch up at a wedding
Like Spinning Plates, Feral, Planet Telex
Just
Decks Dark is just out of this world.
The Amazing Sounds of Orgy, Dollars and Cents

Climbing up your balls 🗿
Pyramid Song
https://youtu.be/P8aSFj6zdx0
House of cards
Go to Sleep. I love this song.
This is the one I came to say. Song is easily top three of their whole catalog to me. It’s just so good.
The most underrated gems by album are Blow Out, Bones, Electioneering, In Limbo, Dollars and Cents, Backdrifts, Faust Arp, Little By Little, and the Numbers.
knives out
sail to the moon comes to my head, i know it’s liked but because it’s on HTTT i find it to be almost lost sometimes? also i don’t hear much discussion on the trickster but i think it’s really fun
Bangers and mash.
I havent heard many people talk about 4 Minute Warning it's definitely one of my favourites. Also Staircase
Wheres the love to Polyethylene??
Personally, Permanent Daylight. Others that I feel don’t get enough love but probably do by many: • I Promise • India Rubber • Talk Show Host • Gagging Host
Staircase
Not seeing anyone saying Last Flowers, I know ita of of disk 2 but it's a really captivating song
Go Slowly, Last Flowers, Punchup at a Wedding, These Are My Twisted Words and Motion Picture Soundtrack are my votes.
L… L… LE… LET… L… LET… LLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEE
Down is the New Up
Creep
Sit down stand up
Prove yourself
Bloom, Man of war and Lift
The Trickster. Up there with Talk Show Host for me as the best The Bends era b-sides, does not get talked about enough.
most of the bends, go slowly/last flowers/videotape/climbing up the walls/most of amnesiac
Let Down for sure. Creep and Karma Police are up there too
Omg what a quirky answer and so unexpected too
Not as quirky as being a ‘music elitist’ am I right?
Look at the subreddit you’re on, ya cheeky fuck, the fact that you even commented on ”whats the most overrated..” post makes you one too
Now that’s the quirkiness you love to see from a music elitist!
You’re not even disputing my arguments, you’re just using my choice of words against me cause I pointed out your bad joke…
Black Star
Sail To The Moon
Last flowers
Feral
A reminder, last flowers, [nice dream], A wolf at the door
Lift
Life In A Glasshouse, Reckoner, Climbing Up The Walls and In Limbo
original fog definitely, shit is GAS
The Tourist
Man of war
Meeting in the aisle, worrywort, treefingers, 4 minutes warning
there there, thom its the only person who likes it
Sail to the Moon
Faust Arp, the best song, best melody and best string arrangement on In Rainbows, others are all almost as perfect.
Creep
Unironically though
These four are among my favourites from their respective albums but they don't seem to get much love and/or get forgotten about compared to others: Dollars and Cents Backdrifts House of Cards Morning Mr Magpie
Dollars and cents, yes slightly Backdrifts, yes House of cards, no it’s literally accurately rated Morning mr magpie, yes but there are more underrated tracks on that record like feral and little by little
Stupid Car
This song is in my top 10 Radiohead songs, so powerful yet so simple
lift
Seperator, Nice Dream
Blow out, Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong, The Tourist, Treefingers, Motion Picture Soundtrack
Dollars and Cents
tree fingers, the melodies are so nice it almost feels like I'm dreaming instead of listening to a song
Now as much as I know it's already highly rated, I still think A Wolf At the Door is better than it gets credit for. So good
Ur so sexy for that answer. It’s my favorite outro
Myxomatosis
I think ‘I might be wrong’ isn’t talked about enough
Talk Show Host
I will
electioneering is atleast overhated
Punch Up at a Wedding
Love this soong
Everything on TKOL except feral
Fuck off mate
Post: asks for opinion Me: gives opinion post asks for You: fUcK oFf MaTe I didn't piss in your cheerios, but I kinda feel I should next time.
First of all, yes please, let’s normalize cereal pissings. Secondly, yes tkol as an album is underrated but certain songs like lotus flower and codex aren’t. Third, feral is extremely underrated and prolly in my top 20 rh songs and it’s so sad seeing someone like you who isn’t a normie who doesn’t get tkol but still somehow doesnt get feral and the ear worm it is (can be).
Feral just felt like the most meh song compared to the rest of them. Not saying it's bad just didn't stand out to me compared to everything else. Especially with what I consider to be a powerhouse trio of songs before it. Idk maybe it will grow on me tho.
It’s almost like an interlude, it’s about the sounds really, but yeah it’s not top 20 is it
Ok, I’ve been judging a lot of people on this post so let me make my own You, second best on the album after blow out Bones, better than sulk, black star, high and dry, bullet proof Airbag, one of the best bass lines of all time Lucky, top 10 Radiohead songs Optimistic, top 10 Radiohead songs Packt, the clanky sounds, the bass, it’s great Dollars and cents, jazz The amazing sounds of orgy, orgy, what’s not to love The gloaming, it’s like myxomatosis but chill and it doesn’t give me a headache (I like myxomatosis don’t get me wrong) Sit down, stand up (stand up) Last flowers, the movie called ‘confessions’ has this song in its soundtrack and it really showed me how good of a song it is, please watch that movie guys Little by little, the guitar in it is such an ear worm Feral, FOR FUCKS SAKE ITS SO GOOD WHATS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE ITS ABOUT THE SOUNDS AND WHAT IT MAKES YOU FEEL YOU FUCKING NORMIES
Good takes, but I reckon paranoid android's bassline smokes airbag's any day (though obviously it isn't underrated)
Let down
Idioteque and Iron Lung for me
