So are you saying if you like "Creep" thats like, liking "Float On" by Modest Mouse?
I just watched the video for Idioteque and thats a cool song.
Lucky. Track 11 off of OK Computer. I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet, as Thom Yorke once cited it as his favorite Radiohead song. Don't know if he still feels that way, though.

Good News for People Who Love Bad News made me go "WTF?" It's okay, but the Lonesome Crowded West and the Moon & Antarctica are way better.
They have a great catalog. Listen to just about everything in this thread/
To answer the original question, here's "You" from an MTV live performance. Spot on vocals and guitars, along with a beautiful acoustic melody. I don't like the studio version but this acoustic version is one of their top songs/performances for me.

S smashed, juices flowing
Like I said before, I'm not making fun of Radiohead or their fans. "Creep" is the only song of theirs that I have heard on the radio. I was just curious to know why that is.
Why does it matter? Who honestly forms an opinion of a band based on radio play? Do you know how much is on the radio?
You haven't heard 'Karma Police' or 'Paranoid Android' on the radio?
Some of their singles that would/should have been on a radio station at some point in time:
Fake Plastic Trees
Just
The Bends
Street Spirit [Fade Out]
Lucky
Paranoid Android
Karma Police
No Surprises
Pyramid Song
Knives Out
My personal favourite Radiohead song is 'There there' - i saw a live version of it, and it was simply amazing... such an awesome tune. Other favourites include 'fake plastic trees', 'paranoid android', 'pyramid song', 'jigsaw falling into place', 'optimistic', 'talk show host' and 'street spirit'...
Creep is the closest thing to a pop single Radiohead has ever made
Radio = pop singles
For the record, I never said that I hate Radiohead or that they sucked. I was just wondering why creep was the only song of theirs that gets played on the radio. And no, my opinion isn't based on radio play. I just have always heard that Radiohead is a great band. Does Radiohead have a deal where creep is their only song that can be played on the radio?
Creep is one of Radiohead's more popular, radio friendly songs. That's it.
Radiohead fans are a lot like the ponytail at the bar in Good Will Hunting.
STFU, Tool fan
No suprises
I will. (No man's land)
Dude, I Will(Los Angeles Version) is better.
No LP8 news in almost a month. Pretty scary to think the new album wont be out this year.
The Killers:
When You Were Young
For Reason Unknown
Everything Will Be Alright
Mr. Brightside
Read My Mind
All The Things I've Done
Jenny Was A Friend
etc..
I love the version of Idioteque on THIS album...

... much more than the album version. Much more "raw". (I know that sounds douchy-pretentious.)
He could just get the I Might Be Wrong recordings. It has Idioteque and Everything in It's Right Place live.
Yup, still can't get into them IM. Also, oasis > radiohead imo.
Yikes...almost Hoobastank-level post. Curious what your opinion of them is 4 years later
