Best Radiohead Songs

Posted by Al6200 - January 6th, 2009


The last few news posts I've made have been about statistics or mathematics or other boring things like that. So now I'm going to write about something different - Radiohead songs!

Here's what I consider to be the top 5:

1. Karma Police
2. Let Down
3. Weird Fishes
4. Airbag
5. Street Spirit

But I'd have to say that my favorite song (by any artist) is Toccata and Fugue by Bach.

I would agree that Karma police is my fave. It's an obvious one but I love it. Just is quality too.

Yeah. The nice thing about the song is that it doesn't just loop around like a lot of rock songs today. Rather than circling and retreading old material as it goes along, Karma Police melody shifts and morphs as the lyrics tell a story of a man losing his sense of morality in the heat of the moment, and then in hindsight seeing how foolish he was.

I think that there's something very universal about the story told in Karma Police. At some level we've all ostracized people who aren't like us, the man who "Talks in math", or metaphorically arrested people who don't look like us - the girl with the "hitler hairdew". And we've all had the moments where we look back and see how we "Lost ourselves" in our emotions and passions.

Perhaps excepting Toccata and Fugue, I don't think there's any song with the emotional impact of Karma Police.

needs moar there there

Just cause you feel it... doesn't mean it's there.
