Ten Radiohead songs from Ten releases

Ok Computer, Kid A and In Rainbows. Their albums are all quite homogeneous maybe accept OK Computer. I will likely give the tracks a proper listen when I'm on the road next week (for work) and stuck in a hotel room.

How to Disappear Completely. I usually become one with a plastic straw dispenser in an otherwise terrestrial eating establishment.

Exit Music (For A Film)

suitkees wrote: Yes, all are great tracks. I heard a couple of Radiohead songs before 1997, but those didn't attract my attention more than that (good indie-rock, but not much more...). Then, at the end of 1996, I saw Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet: the film was already quite a good surprise, but that music at the end of it was just stunning (of course, also because it was at the end of that film...). Bought the soundtracks of the film (yes, they released two OSTs at the same time) and when a couple of months later OK Computer came out I didn't hesitate. Since then Radiohead is one of my favourite non-prog bands and I still consider that album as one of the best of the decade. Kid A is maybe the album I prefer nowadays, but there is no album since that I don't like. So, from these tracks, I'd chose Exit Music (for a film), How to Disappear Completely, and a bit more randomly Daydreaming...

I had a student whose favourite film was Romeo + Juliet. I like "Talk Show Host".

Radiohead is something I slowly got more and more into over time. The HBO series Westworld is one of my very favourite TV shows and I feel they have used Radiohead so beautifully and that almost cinematic experience (I do love atmosphere) got Radiohead more under my skin.

Not to open a can of worms, but while I too don't think of Radiohead as Prog genre, nor Kate Bush and many other things in PA, I am happy with it here and do find such art rock with an air of experimentalism suitable for PA. I put it under the greater progressive umbrella. I also have felt that it is, and I know mnay hate this term, a has been underrated by considerable numbers at the forum here who have been very dismissive of the music while knowing very little of the music. I have seen it stated that it is really overrated at Rate Your Music due to how well various albums do in its General Charts, while dismissing the quality of the music and its influence. Like it or not, that's fine, value it yourself or not, but be careful when assigning how much value others should give it. I say underrated by those because I don't think they have solid ground to assess the music's worth both for themselves and for others, and the claims have I think shown ignorance by calling it just, as I once read, another lame Britpop band or just some depressing drivel, only good for slitting your wrists too as one put it at PA.
