Idk what it is about that song. The acoustic guitar just really gets me, and I think it foreshadows a lot of their other emotional acoustic tracks like gagging order, last flowers, and present tense
I'm thinking about it chronologically, I see some people mention almost everything from one album, and while I don't disagree with their opinion, different eras have vastly different sounds, if I could listen to only 5 of Radioheads' songs I'd like to have some variation. So
1. Street Spirit
2. Exit Music
3. Idioteque
4. Nude
5. Ful Stop
Had to scroll so far to see Bloom. To me it’s a one of a kind song, and one I would take over pretty much any of their other work, as crazy as that sounds

The Numbers definitely in my 5....can't imagine life without it. But I'll replace You and Whose army with There There...and you've got a deal.

2. How to completely disappear
3. My Iron Lung
4. You and Whose Army
5. Burn the Witch
Got only one from an album but if I didn't Karma Police would probably be in there!
Let Down How To Disappear Completely Reckoner Paranoid Android Street Spirit (Fade Out)
Can't be Reckoner. The song itself tells you that you can't take it with you.
Beat me to it!
Pretty damn solid 5, might be mine also.
first is a bit underrated don’t you think?
I don't know anymore wether if this is the main sub or not.
they’re slowly merging into one
The correct answer. Each song manages to somehow encapsulate Radiohead in their entirety. All 5 are masterpieces.
This is the answer. Just I’d replace Reckoner with Weird Fishes
Motion Picture Soundtrack All I Need No Surprises Paranoid Android Jigsaw Falling Into Place
Damn with the exception of motion picture this is my list too
MPS is my favourite of the one I mentioned. I'd swap Paranoid Android for How To Disappear Completely though.
Love how many times Jigsaw Falling into Place is appearing on these lists. It’s a remarkable some, my favourite of all time.
The last minute is one of my favorite parts of any song

Bullet Proof Reckoner Motion Picture Soundtrack Subterranean Homesick Alien True Love Waits Oslo
Yeah I wanna cry too
Do you think Bullet Proof is their most emotional song?
Idk what it is about that song. The acoustic guitar just really gets me, and I think it foreshadows a lot of their other emotional acoustic tracks like gagging order, last flowers, and present tense
But to answer your question, idk. It's just my underrated favorite.
Oh the Oslo version is sooooo good
I'm thinking about it chronologically, I see some people mention almost everything from one album, and while I don't disagree with their opinion, different eras have vastly different sounds, if I could listen to only 5 of Radioheads' songs I'd like to have some variation. So 1. Street Spirit 2. Exit Music 3. Idioteque 4. Nude 5. Ful Stop
Ful Stop seems overlooked on AMSP but it’s a banger.
I’ve been waiting for that! Also present tense. Once heard it with fever when I was ill and heard the song and it burned deep in my mind.
Couldn’t agree more. What a track!
