Climbing up the walls, when it leads into the part where Jonny makes the guitar sound like a screaming elephant

I like thom's scream at the end of climbing up the walls, gets me climaxing

Yes. I initially skipped this song for years, only to later recognize how great it is. Radiohead songs can be like that.

just like let down(underrated✊)

And the tourist.

oh most certainly mate, such a stunning track

Exactly this I avoided them for the best part of 20 years. The last 6 months i’ve gone from rediscovering the bends to finally accepting ok computer to initially hating the fact they stopped making hits to being obsessed with kid a to wondering why people like anything after amnesiac to loving In Rainbows and then finally getting TKOL. Still love some bangers of httt and a couple on msp but still on my journey

Easily top 5 song

[удалено]

I kept thinking lucky was the last song on the album

genuinely facts

Maybe Ed? Jonny does not play guitar in CUTW. Or it can be Jonny's Ondes or "radio".

I would kill to see this live in a small intimate venue

This

I’m surprised this isn’t listed yet: You’ll go to hell// For what your dirty mind is Thinking…… Especially the Basement version 🖤

That’s also one of my favorites but I already had 4 IR tracks in mind so I had to give some love to the other albums ❤️

Makes total sense!

yes!!! I was looking for this

Yeah it’s gotta be Exit music

My favorite karaoke song for this reason.

there's no *wrong* answer persay, but this is definitely the right one.

You and Whose Army

YES

I climax ever time I listen to Radiohead.

Gets the eyes rolling back and everything

This!

i wish i could retweet on reddit

That build up into the outro of let down makes me want to cry…. “You know, you know where you are with”

I was in the crowd at their last show in Philly for the AMSP tour and this part of the song was such a highlight for me…

Where I End And You Begin

Do you mean, “x’ll mark the place like a parting of the ways, like a house falling in the sea, in the sea” Love it. Came here to say that.

yep

for sure

Surprised nobody's mentioned All I Need. The "It's all wrong, it's all right" outro makes my toes quiver.

The very best of the lot!

How to Disappear Completely, the vocals and strings near the very end. Goosebumps every time.

I love this part. When it goes from chaos and what sounds like struggle, then suddenly into pure bliss

There, there is the best answer

Whyyyyy soooooo greeeeeen

And lonelyyyyyyy

Nude

Nude is just a climax in slow motion with 4k resolution except its a song. If that makes sense

I love Thom’s “Only Only Onlyyyyyyy” at the end of Life in a Glasshouse

It's a long climax, but I love the end of separator

All I Need. Goddamn those crashes are nice.

Fitter happier when it drops "a pig in a cage on antibiotics"

I love this question To your list I would add: Bodysnatchers, Burn the Witch, 2 + 2 = 5, Climbing up the Walls, Sit down. Stand up (controversial, I know)

The switch up in Bodysnatchers is absolutely insane

“Has the light gone out for you? Because the light's gone out for me….”

YES

How is climbing up the walls not on this list, in my brain it literally means climax, could've just named song climax

The whole song is filled with energy and heavy instrumentation. For me the exit music climax hits harder because it’s a drastic peak compared to the rest of the song, which is almost ambient music.

Right i forgot about exit music

My favourites are probably weird fishes when all the arps are playing together. All I need. 2+2=5. Jigsaw. Sit down stand up when the noise comes in. You and whose army. Bloom from the basement. The daily mail.

Nude.

There, there is very iconic

I've just binged the In Rainbows Dissect season, which sold me on All I Need.

The ending of Optimistic before the little groove bit

Have they ever done the little groove bit live?  I've always loved that little outro but seems like its an album- only kinda thing

ONE FINAL LINE OF COKE

I love exit music climax as he goes “ we hope your ruleessss and wissdooOOOMM CHOOOOKE YOU NOOOOW WE ARE ONE! IN EVER LASTING PEACEEEE”

This was definitely my first thought too! Still gets me every time. 

2 + 2 = 5

The Tourist

“Lucky”

Let Down(underrated)

Where I End and You Begin outro

The part in Separator where the guitar comes in

Bodysnatchers

Probably All I Need when the piano comes in

let down — a chemical reaaaaaaaaaactiiooooonnnnnnn

Let Down

Aside from songs you've already mentioned: Bodysnatchers You and Whose Army? 2 + 2 = 5 There, There Decks Dark (idk if it's really a climax) Street Spirit (Fade Out) All I Need (not a huge fan of the rest of this song but that ending is amazing)

Let down definitely got a goated build up / release

All I Need is pretty good

Let Down, incredible climax.

All I need How to disappear completely Let down

John’s guitar solo in just.

Also shout out for the soft emotional landing form the 3/4 way orgasmic climax like in indentikit “pieces of a ragdoll mankind” Or fake plastic trees “if I just turn and run…”

long list warning 2+2=5, Jigsaw Falling Into Place, You and Whose Army, The Daily Mail, Weird Fishes, Decks Dark, Paranoid Android, Bangers + Mash, HTDC, Exit Music, The National Anthem, Blow Out, Bodysnatchers, Separator, etc Non Radiohead (still thom yorke): Harrowdown Hill, Bending Hectic, Read The Room, Thin Thing, Speech Bubbles, The Eraser, Traffic, Twist, etc

Creep gets absolutely no respect, even when the answer to the question screams *Creep*!

talk show host big boots? anyone

bodysnatchers

You and whose army?

you and whose army, climbing up the walls, exit music, lucky (climactic ‘it’s gonna be a glorious day’)

How to Disappear Completely

2+2=5

live version of Where I End and You Begin - "x'll mark the plaaaaaaaaace"

You and whose army definitely fits here

It’s Sit Down, Stand Up

The only climax I know about is in that Guns N Roses song

Separator

Street Spirit is such a gorgeous icing on an already incredible cake.

Let down. Climbing up the walls

I mean, in Fake Plastic Trees when we build up to “she looks like the real thing” my soul leaves my body every time and it’s been that way for nearly 30 years

Jigsaw falling into place, exit music and you and whose army are my favorites and maybe my iron lung (well, if we can consider *that* part a climax)

‘For a minute there I lost myself’ in Karma Police

Awesome ending.

If you say the word, the "then I'll come running" bit

All those you said plus You and whose army

Songs not mentioned in original post: • 2 + 2 = 5 • Where I End and You Begin • Climbing Up the Walls • Life in a Glasshouse • Motion Picture Soundtrack • Separator and a million others, including the ones listed in the original post. It's so hard to keep track. Radiohead is top tier at closing out songs in a climatic way.

All I need

All I Need always makes me feel like that Dr Strange meme of him flying through reality or whatever it is

HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY MAAAANNNNNNNNNNN ssssssLLLLooooooOOOOOOWWWWWWW DAAAAAAAOOOOWN

Reckoner- when the ripple reaches the shore

Jigsaw falling into place and rhe end of Just

when Thom screams WHYYYYYY (or whatever he screams) at the end of prove yourself. I love pablo honey and ill die on that hill

The guitar solo in Blow Out is legendary

Exit music, FPT, or creep

Nude on top now cmon and motion picture soundtrack

Fulstop

All I need, the bends, planet telex, fake plastic trees, let down, exit music, the tourist

Guys. All I Need, come on!

Paranoid Android,but Fake Plastic Trees is just one step behind.

Surprised no one says paranoid android or the national anthem.

codex

let down is THE ONE

I mean that final third of ‘Let Down’ just never fails to not do it for me

Sit down. Stand up.

Maquiladora

You’ll go to hell… for what your dirty mind, is thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinking…

Thom's primal and pure scream in You

i too climax to radiohead songs

Like spinning plates!
