Weird Fishes/Arpeggi is on the shortlist of songs that make me stop what I’m doing and just listen.

(That one is the best)

My commissioner played this at my 2008 NFL fantasy draft and my brain was locked in so well round by round. My picks were nearly infallible

Same philosophy over here... currently in my moon shaped pool era.

i've always thought of their catalogue the same way i think of the Coen brothers. i can look at 10 completely different lists and think "hmmm, this one kinda seems right" about all of them.

Weird Fishes through Reckoner is just gorgeous

jordanb239.bsky.social•60 days ago

the amount of times i've finished one of their albums and gone "i think this is my favorite?"

shoopmonster.bsky.social•60 days ago

That album was what made me decide to but a record player. "Bet this kicks ass on vinyl..."

excan.bsky.social•60 days ago

I do not care for it. It insists upon itself.

OK Computer is what sealed the deal for me with them, but I've connected so much more with In Rainbows, especially because so many of those songs were born of that era AND done better with their studio versions.

I liked this version of Nude when I saw these shows in-person, but IR's rips.

bchules.bsky.social•60 days ago

Also the worn-out "Thanks a lot, we're going home now" at the end of that came after "How to Disappear Completely" on the second night. Been my favorite song ever since that show.

Another reason In Rainbows wins - the stage lighting for that tour was the best thing ever.

I fully recognize how epochal and influential OK Computer and Kid A are. Probably the "best" albums they made. But the *VIBES* on In Rainbows are immaculate for me. Probably doesn't hurt that I got married like a week after it came out and spent a bunch of time listening to it in Paris.

corbinsmith.bsky.social•60 days ago

ok computer contains cringe and everyone knows it but no one will say it

corbinsmith.bsky.social•60 days ago

maybe the best sounding rock album ever made tho

edsbs.bsky.social•60 days ago

It’s a monster

robertsilverman.bsky.social•60 days ago

Fitter Happier is cringe, but it's *good* cringe. There, I said it

corbinsmith.bsky.social•60 days ago

bob because this isnt x i will respectfully disagree with you. but please know that if we were steeped in the old ways i would be teaching your old ass a lesson

robertsilverman.bsky.social•60 days ago

okay fair, you ornery whippersnapper, you

robertsilverman.bsky.social•60 days ago

i was in Paris when Kid A came out and that's why it's my favorite, too. It was practically the soundtrack to all the hours I spent exploring the city.

Love this album but also loved how Radiohead did the whole pay what you want for this album and as a broke college student at the time it was greatly appreciated.

ekbroiler.bsky.social•60 days ago

I think I was blown away by how good it was when it came out as i didn’t think I’d like an album as much as OK Computer. I also drank a nalgene full of mushroom tea and saw Radiohead at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley on an In Rainbows tour + can’t recommend that experience enough.

nczeitgeist.bsky.social•60 days ago

The b-sides album for In Rainbows fully whips ass, too.

In case you haven’t seen it, each song from In Rainbows performed in different little settings, I love it. https://youtu.be/ukythkK4EPQ?si=BgW34skbbxLoKCB9

OK Computer is the Sgt. Peppers of the era.

phollanda.bsky.social•60 days ago

It's the album that really got me into the band, and it just keeps aging superbly well. Have you ever heard Lianne La Havas covering Weird Fishes?

nathanderson.bsky.social•60 days ago

My least favorite track on that album is still leagues above a lot of other stuff I listen to

notfakejordan.bsky.social•60 days ago

It’s the one album of theirs I’ll listen to front to back every time with no skips. Feel the same way about it as you.

kid a or ok computer are probably the "best" albums, but in rainbows is the one that lives in my car
