I am actually sweating with laughter (as a novice trying to learn the guitar, this is hilarious…)

I don’t really like Radiohead so this thread isn’t really for me. However Let Down is a bonafide perfect pop song.

really feel I got it right the first time, only a few other songs I could have considered

hmmmmmm…

Planet Telex
Fake Plastic Trees
Airbag
Paranoid Android
Subterranean Homesick Alien
Let Down
Everything In Its Right Place
How To Disappear Completely
Pyramid Song
2+2=5
All I Need
Burn The Witch

Though not being allowed to include the IMBR versions of Like Spinning Plates and True Love Waits (edit: and the OKNOTOK version of Motion Picture Soundtrack) is painful :confused:

(and I’m tempted to swap out Burn The Witch for There There - take that, TT haters!)

My list keeps growing every time I try to narrow it down, they’re probably the second hardest band to do this with. I think Paranoid Android might be the only true 100% shoe-in, and I don’t think I can even fit anything from Amnesiac.

First attempt…

Tough to condense to 12. The next 12 I love nearly as much…

Never listened to any of the EP or bside tracks even though I’m sure I’d be just the sort of person to stuff my list with them if I had. OKC is overrated also

I love that almost everyone has a track no one else has picked.

No one touches them really. At least not in the last 25 years.

A distinct lack of EXIT MUSIC from these lists, wtf people?!?!

Might scrape my top 20. Would probably be in the top 3 for most other bands. Not even top 3 from the album for Radiohead.

I know this thread is a bit old but I wanted to post my contribution. Great band!

I think this track from AMSP could find its way into my current 12-track best of. And this version is stunning.
