Radiohead B-sides / non-album tracks
|
Having never come close to seeing them live, I’ll take your word for it! (sorry you suffered that experience)

That there
That's not me I go Where I please I walk through walls I float down the Liffey I'm not here This isn't happening I'm not here I'm not here In a little while I'll be gone The moment's already passed Yeah it's gone And I'm not here This isn't happening I'm not here I'm not here Strobe lights and blown speakers Fireworks and hurricanes I'm not here I'm not here This isn't happening I'm not here I'm not here |

Definitely one of the top 5 most depressing Radiohead songs ever. Also “Codex” and “Videotape” and (yep) “Let Down.” |

Hmm. Let me try this: - Climbing up the Walls - Sail to the Moon - Fitter Happier - All I Need - Exit Music - We Suck Young Blood (terrible song, but also quite depressing) Shit, I'm not too familiar with Radiohead anymore. I've had quite a hard time remembering them songs. |

Ooh, a Radiohead discussion!
I don't know about you, but I see Videotape as kind of uplifting? But I'll wholeheartedly agree on Exit Music, that's one of the few songs that can get me towards tears. The Exit Music -> Let Down -> Karma Police stretch is possibly my favourite three-song run of all time. How to Disappear Completely (which, FWIW, was inspired by Michael Stipe - cool story) and Fitter Happier exist in a weird space where, despite being emotionally pretty low, I quite enjoy listening to them. Ironic, being a depressive bitch but taking solace in music that shouldn't help (I have used The Downward Spiral as a feel-good album). Climbing up the Walls is a masterpiece. |

Bah... those are more disturbing than depressing. Well.. ok I’ll give you Exit Music, but the groove saves it and gives it something other than complete sadness. All I Need is possibly up there. Climbing up the Walls is just kickass. Again, disturbing not depressing. Same for We Suck Young Blood. And it’s not a bad song! Anyway. There was an infographic about this about a year ago — claimed to quantify sadness based on musical composition. And it broke it down by album. I don’t remember the results, but I’m pretty sure Codex, Let Down and Motion Picture Soundtrack were three of the most depressing according to whatever method was used. |
Also Radiohead got into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, which makes sense in some ways but also seems quite wrong.
Hey, the Cure got in too. |

I think they used a combination of lyrical sentiment and 'valence', something Spotify does to detect the 'mood' of a song. 15 Step was the happiest and True Love Waits was the saddest overall, with We Suck Young Blood the saddest based on valence and High and Dry based on lyrics. https://www.rcharlie.com/post/fitter-happier/ https://www.rcharlie.com/img/posts/f...bum_chart.html <- interactive chart |

Fuck that. High and Dry has a driving melody and is chantable enough to invent Coldplay. Yeah, though, that sounds familiar. Listen to “Codex.” Shit makes me want to jump off a building |
Quote:
To listen to 'Codex', I have to listen to The King of Limbs, and is that a sacrifice I'm willing to make? Anyway, back to the point of the thread: ![]() |
I actually think King of Limbs is one of their best albums
Same goes for Hail to the Thief. They're both very weird Also the Bends, In Rainbows, and Kid A is my fav but I have an Amnesiac tattoo God I love Radiohead though |
Quote:
King of Limbs: In the Basement (live) will wake you up to the krautrock pleasures of proper album. It’s not their best... because Hail to the Thief is their best |
Quote:
In some ways Hail to the Thief is my favourite Radiohead album, even though I know there's so many reasons not to pick it. That said, my favourite at a given moment is always going to be something from OKC to HTTT, probably whichever one I listened to last. |
running errands all day caught up with rolo tomassi’s COSMOLOGY
