What is the best Radiohead song and

I had my first car accident while listening to fake plastic trees. Just turned too fast off the main road, banged my wheel against a friend’s curb. Anyway, I experience that embarrassing and scary moment in montage when I hear that song.

Radiohead has grown in my critical estimation since then—age 17–which is really interesting. But i listen to them less.

"The National Anthem" because baritone sax improves everything. What it says about me is that I prefer jazz to Radiohead. And that I haven't seriously listened to Radiohead (like, ooh, they've got a new album, drop everything, here we go) in 20 years.

Radiohead were in my top 5 favorite bands for a long time and really the only thing that stopped that was me becoming a hip hop addict for 3 years. i'll still vibe with all their albums except King of Limbs though

i had a really surreal and nightmarish experience at a "king of limbs" listening party. i will not share it. the events took place mostly in my mind but owing to a realization i had about the room i was in. i have not returned to that album either for this purely contingent and circumstantial reason, which is weird because i don't avoid "fake plastic trees." that car accident wasn't so bad i guess.

all criticism is autobiography.

right now i am housesitting and i told the device (alexa?) to play radiohead but i want it to stop now and i can't. i don't think it's an alexa because i keep saying "alexa!" and it won't light up. it's a squat white cylinder.

idiot tech

the tourist, and what it says about me is that i highly value the mellotron choir sound

so treesh what is your fave?

“the tourist” is dope

it might be creep but i also like lucky.

i like creep because it was the first radiohead song i heard and it really did sound new to me. and some of the lines are just so perfect in reflecting the experience he is trying to describe. "your skin makes me cry" is right up there with "do i dare to eat a peach?" in capturing the way beauty shames us.

i like lucky because of "kill me sarah. kill me again." something about seeing a reference to pop culture recontextualized like that -- again -- for me this was just brilliant. i had an OK Computer poster in my freshman dorm room.

what this all says about me is that i am a lyrics guy.

What is the pop culture reference there?

Terminator

True, most bystanders did wonder what the hell he was doing there

isn't it a terminator reference? maybe not

It's not, no, unless you really want it to be (which you clearly do!).

Thom in 1997: 'Everyone knows about this one. Recorded for War Child, unplayed by Radio 1. Who’s "Sarah"? No one I know. It’s just my favourite name.'

It's actually "Kill me, Sara" -- as in Sara Lee -- it's an anti-cake song.

"2+2=5"

because i don't like my authority being questioned and i certainly don't like being put in a box.

just kidding, it's "weird fishes."

Street Spirit needs more love

Street spirit sounds like dust in the wind
