Seriously in Limbo and Last flowers? And some of you guys picking Idoteque, House of Cards and Suprises, this is baffling. Also this article is pretty misleading if like ryan97ou says, you were only aloud to pick one song from each album. So basically these aren’t the 10 worst Radiohead songs?

I’d pick Pablo Honey as a whole.
And….House of Cards,

and maybe myxomatosis(maybe)

Faust Arp is great and a perfect lead into Reckoner(2nd best RH song, next to street spirit)…imo…

I just now saw it was done by album, haha. I would have said Electioneering instead of Climbing Up the Walls. even though I used to dislike Electioneering and now love it…

also Last Flowers is actually from the OK Computer era, and clearly, because it’s also an amazing song.

Climbing Up the Walls is a fantastic, fantastic song. really unique creepy vibe, but still huge sounding and the vocal melody is just so, so good.

I was really hoping to see We Suck Young Blood on this list, because ya, boring as hell. and Radioead even said they made some misteps with Hail to the Thief, and it’s probably that song.

I agree with Sulk for sure, The Gloaming (on the album) and Faust Arp…but Life In A Glasshouse?? or I Will? I’m a vocal melody guy personally, and those songs are top-notch in that department.

The “We-don’t-understand-Irony-club” meets here, I see.
1. You’ve listed songs that offend your idea of what music should be, as opposed to any artistic or aesthetic flaw with them.
2. “I want to be Jim Morrison” was sarcastic. Thom saw the Oliver Stone movie you spoke of and found the cult of Jim Morrison to be an interesting topic to write a song on. Anyone Can Play Guitar is that song. It’s ironical.

Now, based on your selection; you clearly appear to be someone who doesn’t like experimental music. You have certain notions of what you want to hear, and fine, I don’t blame you. We all do. I know it’s pedantic, but “It didn’t agree with me” or “I didn’t like what they did with the vocals”, is not what constitutes a bad song. These are YOUR Least Favorite Radiohead Songs.

As a very huge Radiohead fan, Out of every song i do believe i have i will have to say every comment i read is wrong. Radioheads from the very beginning grows more and more from every time u hear a song and from album to the next. To me I love all their b side songs and i think and believe every song on every album has an sugnificance to them and i love every song on every album. This just my opinion and im sure i heard every song at least 15 thousand times and i know why their my favoret band of all time.

I’m surprised to see Life in a Glass House, We Suck Young Blood, I Will, Faust Arp and Last Flowers (!!!) on the list. But you’re right, it is a difficult task to pick the worst Radiohead songs, and even the worst aren’t really all that bad.

I love the song Life in a Glasshouse, which is probably the only thing I’d change on the list. I can see why not everyone would like it, but I’m a huge fan of both the melodic direction and the whole jazzy feel.

Great list though.

Sure.. here are mine:

Pablo Honey – “Anyone can play guitar”
A lot of people don’t count this album in Radiohead’s discography, but I tend to like a lot of songs on it. “Vegetable” might be my second favorite on the album, but it’s tough for me not to enjoy the bassline on this song.

The Bends “My Iron Lung”
I like everything on this album, and if asked next week what my favorite song on this album is it would probably be something different, but I think over time I have gotten the most enjoyment out of this one.

OK Computer “No Surprises”
It’s just beautful, but again impossible for me to pick a definitive song from this album that I like above all else. “Electioneering” comes in a close second, maybe because it’s one of the heaviest/rawest songs in Radiohead’s catalog and it comes on an album that is filled with a lot of downers (albeit really really good downers) and it is really really tough for me not to say “Paranoid Android”, but I am sticking with “no Surprises”

Kid A “Idioteque”
The lyrics are haunting and the music pushed their own boundaries and opened up other more electronic/beat heavy songs on future albums.

Amnesiac “I Might Be Wrong”
Such a good guitar riff and I love thom’s vocals on it.

In Rainbows “Nude”
This song destroys me.

Again, I probably will read this next week and want to change my mind.. but right now this is the best I can do, and that’s good enough.
