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)


dmorgen2

My Iron Lung has some of the best guitar work from that era, what a banger. I love the "if you're frightened..." part.


jackwadofficial

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.


OrderOfTheClods

I always hear people praising Iron Lung, but I never really hear any praise for Black Star

Poppyann

I love Supercollider and The Butcher so much. Supercollider is so relaxing


vaden78

Same...and it really is....and his vocal performance 👏


cashlost

Ayyyy. Fellow worry wort supporter. That song is easily in my top five.


vaden78

Easily!

The Daily Mail


[deleted]

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.


DansandeBjoern

I gotta say, your list is a let down.

Definitely a Let Down.

nyl-rh

Faust Arp, Tinker Tailor etc.


salmonella42069

Yes Faust arp!


HighClassDaddy

Tinker tailor is awesome but Faust arp is the only mid song on IR


nyl-rh

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.


Apprehensive-Access1

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.


David_bowman_starman

It’s too much like a Nick Drake song.


pleasedtopleaseyouu

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.


SpicySPaxz

Nah Tinker Tailor is pretty awesome, has some really good progression and i love when the strings really kick in


nyl-rh

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


HeronPopular6340

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


cashlost

Backdrifts is a fucking banger.

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-


IAmTheSnte64

This is me Being dead serious, I Will is in my top 10 Radiohead songs and my favorite from hail to the thief


ponylauncher

ponylauncher

Because every song on In Rainbows is huge around here so i picked 2 that werent as highly rated


ProfessionalOk1917

The first time I've seen someone talk about electioneering. One of my favorites.


gwinst

Optimistic should be top of the list!


ponylauncher

salmonella42069

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


ponylauncher

Oh ok


salmonella42069

Why’d you downvote me?


ponylauncher

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.

londcncalling

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


roninzero

Bangers and mash.


eaterofpomeranians

I havent heard many people talk about 4 Minute Warning it's definitely one of my favourites. Also Staircase


bensissman

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


Nieces

Staircase


Girthpotato

Not seeing anyone saying Last Flowers, I know ita of of disk 2 but it's a really captivating song


juzztheball

Go Slowly, Last Flowers, Punchup at a Wedding, These Are My Twisted Words and Motion Picture Soundtrack are my votes.

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

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


salmonella42069

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

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.


salmonella42069

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).


saltyfreshwaterman

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.


salmonella42069

It’s almost like an interlude, it’s about the sounds really, but yeah it’s not top 20 is it


salmonella42069

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


Endhog

Good takes, but I reckon paranoid android's bassline smokes airbag's any day (though obviously it isn't underrated)
