down our picks for the top 10 Radiohead
songs you do it
for this list we’ve chosen our entries
based on a combination of the artists
fan favorites and their most
commercially successful songs
number ten
idiot Ecch it may not have been released
as a single
but this 5-minute track continues to be
a fan and critic favorites why by mixing
elements of electronica and intelligent
dance music with frontman Thom Yorke’s
abstract lyrics
Radiohead gave IDEO tech a doomsday feel
that makes it unique among the band’s
work and music in general since become a
live
number nine no surprises
despite its title okay computers third
single is actually quite surprising
who says the
with its dream pop flavors at O’Brien’s
crystal-clear guitar sound Johnny green
woods glockenspiel and York soft-spoken
vocals no surprises is a more complex
and layered track than it initially
appears to be
the top 5 UK hit was also accompanied by
a memorable music video with York’s head
being slowly submerged in water
sure
yeah
she’s uh
number eight creep mainstream audiences
were introduced to Radiohead’s
alternative rock sound with their first
ever single in the early 1990s taking
off their debut album Pablo honey creep
follows the alternating sound dynamics
characterizing grunge music but took
several months before it really caught
on with radio and the music charts Oh
despite being briefly removed from their
live shows it remains one of the band’s
most famous tunes
number seven there there
taken off the band’s sixth studio effort
there-there was inspired by the
experimental sound of a German band
called Ken
though guitar dominates the track
what makes hail to the thief’s first
single really stand out are the
different layers of drums and percussion
featured throughout
the song made it to the UK top five and
is often included in the band’s live
sets
number six let down
the Radiohead’s third album is full of
sonic gems this five-minute number is an
excellent example of the band’s musical
chemistry at its finest
thanks to its complex guitar some
electric piano melodic bass lines and
plaintiff but poignant vocals
let down is truly a highlight
despite not being released as a single
it since become a fan favorite it’s just
that good
number five fake plastic trees green
plastic inspired by the fake plastic
trees of London’s Canary Wharf Radiohead
crafted this moody guitar track for
their sophomore effort
while still categorized as alt-rock fake
plastic trees started to bring the band
away from their association with the
grunge movement and into the realm of a
more mainstream sound just cool
but it’s the way it takes us on an
emotional journey through song that
lands it on our list
Oh
number four everything in its right
place
this kid a track may not have any guitar
piano or drums but Radiohead still
managed to ensure that everything is in
its right place
with eerie vocal effects the use of a
drum machine and electric piano this
over for minute cut knows just how to
create an atmosphere that’s creepy
enough to keep you captivated
the number hasn’t only been critically
acclaimed but is also notable for the
band’s trance inspired on stage
performances
nice one
number three karma police
it may not have a traditional chorus but
thanks to york’s unique but evocative
vocals sweeping piano and guitar and a
haunting melody karma police is a big
part of why okay computer is so great
this is what you get
well received by critics the 4-minute
plus track was also a top-ten smash in
the UK
and helped Radiohead cement their place
as one of rock’s finest bands
number two Street spirit fade out
a band
when it comes to Radiohead it doesn’t
get much more melancholy than this
single off the bends thanks to Ed
O’Brien steady guitar playing Street
spirits slow and weird melody remains
implanted in our brains
we also can’t help but feel York’s
desperation as a result of his
expressive vocals
in short it’s simple beautiful and
unforgettable
meanwhile it’s black and white music
video perfectly encapsulates the song’s
mood
before we unveil our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions
forced us to come
number one paranoid android makes you
look pretty
picking a cue from fellow Brits like the
Beatles and Queen Radiohead crafted this
okay computer single with several
different musical sections
with its dark humor and mix of
alternative and progressive rock
paranoid android is often cited as one
of the band’s best songs
the almost six and a half minute cut
further solidified its status in pop
culture and rock history with the vivid
color and twisted visuals of its
animated music video
