agreed - this is 100% true. Go with the studio version in the future

It's tough to react to them, though, because I think their copyright is super intense.

I agree

Absolutely agree, although Reckoner is beautiful and detailed no matter what version you use. But I'd always go studio first time in a song.

Good photo, grace for drowning is really good

Hopefully they didn't do only sad songs ahah I would rather say intense Don't forget the drums and general composition that always tend to balance out the mellow nature of Thom

Truth! basically every song.

That man was in full control of his machine.

Lmao! He don't!

@@simpleysims Let him talk whatever he wanna talk

Radiohead was taken to the next level when Jonny joined the band and they admit it. The guy is a master of dynamics and control that makes you think "How the fukk does he do that?!". An indie guitar GOD!

And his hair looks so perfectly conditioned...lol

Completely agree with one exception: Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense

Unless it's NPR Tiny Desk, often even better than the studio versions in my opinion

John Dorsey agree but also this is a great live version. if you have any appreciation for live music you should be able to rock with this.

Agreed, especially with how many elements Paranoid Android has. A cleaner sound is better for a first listen.

You obviously don't know radiohead, most of their live version songs that sound exactly like studio versions.

Dan Finkel so true. But can’t listen when depressed lol

I actually think you should listen to FAKE PLASTIC TREES. It's that mellow amazing acoustic you dig!

Dan Finkel Ah The Bends. Yes. Good one. I’d say try “House of cards” or “Nude”

Reckoner is one of the best songs ever crafted.

In Rainbows is such a good album

Micah Buzan maybe cuz it’s the same feeling we’ve experienced. I felt so identified.

Joseline Maldonado M. Yes to both of your comments! That's exactly why it's so awesome watching these reactions.

and it was the Jools Holland version too! "classic" just doesn't do it justice

So underappreciated too. The guitar work is stunning

Love that tune!

Robert Poole absolutely love all 3!

Awesome tune, pure melancholic beauty!

And now that they calmed down, I can't wait to see how you dig the ending. (Actually, I've never seen this performance, so I'm not sure what they're gonna do either!)

Radiohead is more than Creep but us true "rock heads" respect Creep tha most.

Jp Starlin a true Radiohead fan knows that creep is the least of their songs. Even Thom Yorke didn’t even like it

Darth Kater no but creep was their biggest hit lol

spiderbaby420 that doesn’t make it their best lol

spiderbaby420 you do realize that ok Computer and Kid A are considered some of the greatest albums in popular music right? Their influence and greatness has surpassed their creep phase a long time ago

Yes!

Yes! Paranoid Android, Karma Police and Fake Plastic Trees are the best. Also I could include My Iron Lung.

Yup!! And the music video too...

And also does cameos at Hogwarts Yule balls

Agreed! Both so epic in such different ways.

MGD84 definitely unique.

Hard to argue with that

Goka Gola Gommunism Yep they’re mate, the bends ,ok Computer ,Kid A , and In Rainbows are considered classics; very well respected band(Radiohead).

Yep!

Most definitely, though I would add Primus/Les Claypool as well.

I just saw Radiohead last month. Best show I’ve ever been to! Really want to see Tool at some point. In the meantime, A Perfect Circle will be near my city in a few months, and I’m dying to go.

ǝsoןnoʎuıʍı cough Muse cough

Citizen Erazed honestly I used to be big into MUSE & saw them twice in concert. Great show but nothing compared to TOOL & Radiohead in my opinion

I saw them at MSG back in July and they did not disappoint at all. Because I've watched all their lives sets so much aside from their albums. I knew which song was gonna pop off just by the single note or colors of the lights alone! Truly a great band! And tool and Radiohead just go places musically that touch all aspects that are just as vulnerable and just as epic.

I think this is an excellent live version. Maybe not as much oompf, but how can I tell from my phone speakers lol.

Radiohead is great live. They can pull off really complex stuff on stage. It is impressive as hell.

Crazy. Radiohead is one of the best bands to see live!

I don't agree. This performance perfectly encapsulates the angst and sheer emotion of the song. The almost mumbling vocals oozes the desperation of the protagonist.

I recommend Lotus Flower love watching him spaz to his own groove.

copywrite

Well then just listen to the song then

I love that song...deep cut but man its SUCH a powerful song.

Great song, but probably no the best for someone who knows like 1-2 of their songs lol

Yeeeessssssss

Calls me on the phone, tells me all the ways that he gon' MESS ME UP. Steal all the children if I don't pay the ransom, and I'll never see them again if I squeel to the cops!.. I love that song so much.

Right... such a low-key masterpiece

This isn't even that early. This was off their 3rd album.

Every time I hear that performance of Nutshell I get something in my eye ;)

"Hey" is my favorite 😍

Big record labels still own things, they just choose the most provocative crap music that people respond to today

laz44laz44 😍 They played that one in the show I went to last month. It was incredible.

Ooof!

Yep

But everything in its right place has to be included

Definitely

Fuck muse! Wanna be Radiohead

Both are great, no need to compare them in rankings.

Cell Phones Dead (From the Basement performance) would be my pick. Or anything from Odelay!, of course

All of their songs are another GREAT one.

thats a good song.

That's a definite MUST-now-listen-thru-the-rest-of-the-album moment waiting to happen for me! LOL Pretty Hate Machine is *amazing* right thru. :)

Jp Starlin featuring Trent Reznor version

Station to station by Bowie is a masterpiece

Pink Floyd is deep end? hahahah that's like super main stream

i'd agree they're mainstream, though for audiences into current or radio friendly music bands like Tool, Radiohead and Pink Floyd are good gateways to Prog, Fusion, Alternative, Psychedelic & Heavy forms of rock. Sorta like how Metallica, Iron Maiden & Megadeth are good gateway bands into the metal scene.

Shaun Casey Not really

Shaun Casey just listen to the entirety of Kid A, that’s what I would consider deep end

@@DRK0114 just because it's popular doesn't mean it's not deep. Besides if you've only heard what's on the radio for PF, you haven't heard PF

Yes. There's no way he's not going to appreciate FNM! :) .... but where to start tho? Epic? Falling to Pieces? Midlife Crisis? I'm not into giving someone We Care A Lot for their first FNM- you get caught in the weeds explaining history of the band...!

badm0t0rf1nger i was thinking Ashes to Ashes to draw him in. Then maybe The Gentle Art of Making Enemies and Just A Man.

Interesting that you're going with later material. I got the 2-disc version of Album of the Year wit the remixes, so I'll have to listen to the straight version of Ashes to Ashes to remind myself..... Ah yes, I like the vibe it's got, & it's soundly-crafted, but none of the band are having to *try* on it, if you know what I mean? The remixes are arguably more interesting. Gentle Art is undeniable imo, but is it the right thing to offer up as someone's first look at FNM? I'm still thinking something early from The Real Thing or Angeldust that has a groove & a dose of Patton's "fcuk you" going on, would be the best idea. Right, it's just given me goosebumps *again*.... I know it's 8mins, but I'm voting for The Real Thing :)

badm0t0rf1nger the next step is getting him on to soundgarden. Some live rusty cage from lollapalooza 92 action?

Nah- no live til he's at least heard the studio version of Outshined. ;)
