no

9:50 no, no, no. You've missed the point here. Lily Allen is absolutely correct to say that musicians and bands performing and releasing for free has the effect of devaluing music. Why pay for music when it's free? Nobody can deny this, we see it all around us nowadays. Radiohead didn't do that deliberately but it is true that only a secure and successful band could ever do this and have any success. The thing that sounds identical to the record labels is you, ironically, with your message that anybody can make it in this model if they just work hard and have good music. That's not the case. People were prepared to pay willingly for In Rainbows because it's Radiohead. Nobody will willingly pay for an album by Johnny Nothing and the Nomarks, no matter how mind-blowing the music is.

Easily one of their best albums Amsp is a masterpiece

@@rpineda8373 not to mention TKOL live from the basement

@James Schultz * Est.1982 man daily mail is for sure in my top 3 Radiohead songs. Listening to the basement version really unlocked TKOL for me. When I first heard it, thee regular version felt like an electronic Thom Yorke album and a slightly flat. but when they performed it live, it became so much bigger, every song acquired an amazing unique character, and each musician made himself present. It's amazing.

Just to add some thoughts to this thread, specifically regarding James & Pedro mentioning the basement sessions; there's something about all of the songs played 'From The Basement.' The Mix was incredibly on-point, meaning where every instrument sat frequency-wise in the overall mix added brightness yet also some crunchiness (Bass for example, and/or the punch of the drums) to the instruments, and while watching each member play their part, every instrument was audible & distinguishable on its own, yet sat perfectly in the mix as a whole. I prefer the from the basement versions of almost every song vs the studio/album versions specially for those reasons. And of course, not only was the mix on-point, of course Radiohead themselves were on-point and 'in the pocket' as well. Lastly, one of the reasons Radiohead is in my top 5 favorite bands of all time, is because they've never stagnated creatively; it's not that they "reinvented themselves" for each album, but they absolutely didn't try to recreate the sounds or vibes from a previous album. They've continued to move forward creatively & sonically every album, but as the video mentioned, the songs and albums are without question distinctly Radiohead. I think being able to make that statement for a band is few & far between, especially in the (current) age of recycled, resampled, remade, nauseous excessive radio play times that we live in. So for me, Radiohead haven't ever put out an album or song that I'd consider lackluster or don't enjoy listening to all the way through. And then of course, they always have 1, or 2, or several songs on each album that I enjoy so much I end up playing it on repeat for hours or days or weeks. Anyway. Great video! And great discussion guys! Cheers, .-H.B.

Lotus flower made tkol

Probably favorite song ever

Nude just makes me feel one with the cosmos

One of the best songs ever made

Its so good i made my own music video for it with a friend lol but i cant upload it because of that merlin beggars bullshit

My mind goes instantly to this track when thinking of personal favs

@@finncool music isn't a product, it's an art form

@@finncool bands can't rely on album sales anymore, it's all in merch and touring. And that's not Radiohead's fault, you can blame music streaming services for that.

Bigger Lion it also helps that more money goes directly to the artist in general. How much of a cut does a record company take from a $10 album sale?

you buy the first for free, that gives you exposure then you are willing to pay for later or earlier records of theirs, i need to get on bandcamp tbh, i love the format

@@cesarcamacho2266 Tbh I think it's a shift in the right direction. The music scene has become more diverse than it ever was due to artist being able to make it themselves rather than needing to rely on a big music label. Streaming services makes it easier for an independent artist to monetize its craft and gain exposure while it also makes music much more accessible to the consumers.

This. To me its like the polar opposite of Ok Computer or The Bends. I can NOT listen to those albums without getting grim inside.

Some RH albums take time to grow on me or I don't like them on first listen but do over time. I liked Rainbows instantly.

James Kovacic listen to it on acid

Exactly. On another in rainbows video someone said after listening to the album they have to listen to some joy division to cheer themselves up, I was like what?!?

You explained this well. That's how I feel about the album, too. It suits all sorts of moods.

nick - I got lucky (no pun intended) and watched them perform it on the Jonathan Ross show. Once they finished it, they asked to play it again as they weren't happy... after the show, I was stood 2 feet from them but I froze and couldn't say a word. As my mate (how knee my obsession) asked if I wanted a photo, they were whisked away...I was gutted for weeks after

Morrisopolous holy shitttt I’ve never gotten a chance to see them live. I’ve only seen thom yorke. That must have been awesome

The bass is what gets me the most. Like oh my goodness

The song is excellent in so many ways...ill pay the guitar special attention next time

nick guitar and bass, and Thom’s vocals. And the lyrics 😂

I always loved your videos because I love all the art/artists you deconstruct. The fact that we share a favourite album is a nice cherry on top. Keep killin it dude, you're awesome ^^

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness In Rainbows Dookie At this moment my fav albuns

Holy shit my dad commented

@@miguellamaral1251 love mellon collie! checkout third eye blind self titled

Radiohead is the flagship band of patriarchy, white privilege and Anglocentrism of the last 30 years

Omg i just said exactly the same thing yesterday

What about The Bends?

AMSP...

Three of them are 10/10, AMSP is 9/10 and The Bends is 8/10 for me.

José Ciénega agree

I'm not a fan of House of Cards, it's too plodding for me. Maybe it'll eventually grow on me like Let Down did.

I mean, that's basically all of radioheads discography

@@ManlyOBeeferton HoC is one of my favorite tracks from Rainbows and one of the first Radiohead songs that caught my ear when trying to digest their material. The strings that back the “denial” refrain is for me one of the most beautiful moments on the album.

@@Goofballhero Aye it has its moments, but overall it feels too..flat for me. Different strokes of course.

@@Taylor_King Morning Bell Amnesiac isn't too hot tbh.

It really gets to me Have a good one

same

I agree. The way the song explodes towards to end is pure euphoria

Agreed. House of Cards is up there too.

One of the songs thats got the finest outro. DAT PIANO MELODY hoooot daaaamn

Just look at the lyrics of Jigsaw falling into place, you can get more human than that.

Give us your best version of a "Kid Amnesiac" record!

same here brother!!! In Rainbows all the way to oblivion

luis m sure thing! Everything In It’s Right Place Packet Like Sardines In A Crushed Tin Box Pyramid Song The National Anthem How To Disappear Completely Treefingers Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors Kid A Knives Out In Limbo Idioteque I Might Be Wrong Motion Picture Soundtrack (this my personal preference before anyone jumps me)

Exactly what I was gonna say

My favourite is in rainbows it's too underrated when compared to ok computer

If not the greatest. Makes me sad and happy at the same time. Nude and Jigsaw Falling Into Place are the also amazing.

Yeah reckoned is out of this world incredible

Reckoner*

Weird Fishes

I agree

@Antonio Trujillo Bandera I just don’t see how. If there’s a song that exemplifies the cover and vibe of the album, HoC is definitely one of them. Also seems to be one of the more accessible tracks when showing Radiohead to friends, especially those who can appreciate slower paced music. Videotape is the worst song for me; every other song has a melody that really gets to me in some capacity. HoC’s ambience and refrain undeniably being one of them, not to mention it’s the perfect calm breather between the faster paced Reckoner and Jigsaw.

@Antonio Trujillo Bandera that's just ridiculous mah man

Aw :,)

No wonder it reminds me so much of Little Mermaid. lmao

@@zackzallie8735 found u again :)

I never knew! That's really sweet

@@gero3015 this guy is literally everywhere just don't be surprised

Tax Doctor Ph.D, National Anthem is heavily misunderstood and underrated. One of my favourite songs of theirs.

It's hard to top National Anthem, but How to Dissapear Completely is hard to believe humans created such a masterpiece

I love this comparison

@@jayesin National Anthem is chaos: the song. How to Disappear is depression: the song

No offence intended but what does this comment actually mean?

FryTi THIS!!!

I listen to it a lot especially in my teens. Watching these video essays about Radiohead makes me feel like my childhood is being explained

This is not your life. This is someone else's life, and you are merely a witness.

Rick C so then someone simply lives my life

If you add "Weird Fishes" to that list you have my favorite songs on the album.

you got godly taste 🕊

You missed jigsaw

Radiohead is the flagship band of patriarchy, white privilege and Anglocentrism of the last 30 years

Yep videotape, all I need and reckoner are songs I could listen to forever

I got the lp with the double disc as a gift. I don't even want know what that cost, but I am grateful.

Would’ve gave $19-$26

Weird.....thats the song I always skip over....lol

Steve WK how is that possible, the song is like a descent underwater when you end up in a place that you recognize. That’s what I feel anyway

It’s probably my favorite song too. Every track on the album is so good.

Tobtakular I know the album is one of Radiohead’s many masterpieces and all 10 tracks on the album I’d say are 10/10

Same here, such an amazing song

Great story thanks for sharing

Oh hey, another cultured individual

Chris walla is the only one that hurts !

That's still all on U2 and Apple man. So many ways they could've done the free album and they chose the most annoying way possible. They could've just said, "hey we are releasing a new album, you can choose to get it from the front page of iTunes" instead they shove it in your library without consent or warning like a bunch of arrogant head asses. It was probably Bono's idea

this is 100% what I thought when they showed the U2 quote, I never would've thought that this could be linked to that. major butterfly/hurricane reaction.

actually U2 was offered 10 million dollars by Apple to allow Apple ownership of the album for a month - in that month Apple pushed the album on their patrons. U2 gets the blame and haven't whinged about Apple's "gift" (protect the payee, I suppose). What would you have done? @@yummycookies58

@@thicctac4108 so uhhh

@@gyclenium Who are you?

B sides is where you can find some really true gems that never made it to album, no matter the artist. Some of my definitive favourites are b-sides. I think “like spinning plates” has a b side version that is so much better that the one that actually found the way to the album. Also another I remember off the top of my head that is completely off topic is “Quiet Steam” by Peter Gabriel. I am not particularly fan of him, but that version is something to give a try. Also some other golden nuggets in my head, but just seems out of reach in my brain at the moment. I am getting old lol.

@@roygalaasen I love the b-side tracks of Radiohead for me they are just other albums. The Amazing Sound of Orgy, Kinetic, Down is the new up, Go Slowly, Bangers + Mash, etc... just amazing.

@@iknownothing4661 You need to read more about patriarchy, white privilege and Anglocentrism in society and therefore in art

funny thing is, those are my 2 least favourite tracks from the album. it just shows you how great this album is :'))

LOVE those too. It was a previously unseen flash of them in seduction mode.

those two are my favorites on the album

@@isaiahmajarreis8107 Yeah I'm not a fan of House of Cards. I love YAAIN though :).

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeckoneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer

Exactly this and indeed so many ppl sleep on Disk 2 "Go slowly" and "Down is the New up" are some of the most beautiful tracks they released.

Wonderful song..

Wow you look like Ksi's dad.

That "hotel? Trivago" doesnt fit there at all lol

Barry Berry, I know lol Didn’t expect it to get likes tbh

Jigsaw is not underrated but amazing nonetheless

You need to listen to A Moon Shaped Pool some more. It's a slow burn, but additional time with it pays off. A great late night headphone album.
