"Let Down"

And yes, they have performed it live. I remember seeing it on an MTV concert, (Live at the 10 Spot?) back in '97.

I have to say If I had 10 minutes to live then I would have to listen to Videotape (for those of you that don't recognise this name its one of the new songs) It's incredibly uplifting even though the lyrics are about death and waiting to be judged (in my opinion) although it does have the best last verse I have heard in a radiohead song..

"No matter what happens now
I won't be afraid
Because I know today has been the most perfect day I've ever seen."

I'd choose it just for that

Oh, and the band have played let down a few times during the tour this year as well.

I'll go with the obvious choice- paranoid android, maybe street spirit

Other under-rated ones are:
How to Disappear Completely
There There
We Suck Young Blood (trust me listen to it again and turn up the volume)
Airbag was only mentioned once or twice

Has anyone heard that live recording of Like Spinning Plates? Absolutely stunning.

National Anthem (live) - as a concert opener this song is explosive.

honorables:
my iron lung - so noisy! (the bends)
lucky (also better live) (ok computer)
life in a glass house (amnesiac)
Where I end and you begin (hail to the thief)

"I Might be Wrong" is probably my favorite. Not sure what exactly is so appealing about it, but I've loved it ever since I got Amnesiac.

A close second is "How to Disappear Completely"

'Fake Plastic Trees'. Bruised beauty incarnate.

Honourable Mentions:
'Karma Police'
'Everything In It's Right Place'
'True Love Waits'
'High & Dry'
'Let Down'

Motion Picture Soundtrack and A Wolf at the Door.

Since this thread got revived, I'll be the first to mention "Climbing Up The Walls" off of OK Computer.

Though if I'm wasting my final ten minutes alive listening to Radiohead, something's wrong.

I guess I'd have to go with Let Down as well.

The Bends is their best album, though.

Fake Plastic Trees

The Bends is their best album.

Yeah, everyone loves Paranoid Android, Fake Plastic Trees, Karma Police, Street Spirit ect but has anyone mentioned Bulletproof (i wish i was). Haunting & beautiful it just......... brings tears to my eyes and i can't give any higher praise then that.

'Let Down'. Not sure why, I just like the song.

There There. My most played iPod song by a mile.

Videotape (at least judging from the video on YouTube) could give it a challenge, though...

Impossible to choose for me, as it changes from month to month really, but right now I would have to say 'How To Disappear Completely'...Jonny's string compositions on that song are simply divine.

fog (again)
the thom yorke live version
but that is really just him and not the band
so...
paranoid android
which has so many styles and some of their greatest lyrics.

honorable mentions (in no particular order):
the tourist
exit music
how to disappear completely
like spinning plates
motion picture soundtrack

tie between Street Spirit and Lucky

Paranoid Android is pretty obvious, but it's also pretty hard to beat.

I reckon it's probably the greatest song written during my lifetime.

There can only be one like spinning plates it trancends music

But if a friend asked for my pick I'd say pyramid song because its more accessible.

relatively new to radiohead, well besides a few songs, but most radiohead ive heard has been within the last year, and my favorite would be "paranoid android"

great song

Fitter Happier. I'd like to spend my last minutes on Earth terrified.

OR, "Look at all the efficiency bullshit I won't have to worry about anymore"

OR, "Look at all the efficiency bullshit that really means nothing, because I'll be dead soon"

Grim Reaper, you're a weird one.
