With as many albums as Radiohead has out, it's impossible to include as many choices as they deserve. I left out the bigger hits (Creep, High and Dry, Karma Police) intentionally, but I have a feeling there'll be some complaints of others left out. Of these choices, which is your favorite?

I went EIIRP, but Karma Police is my favorite song. My login name is actually a spoof of Karma Police that was played in the movie Festeroo - where they changed up the words to Psychic Officer. Funny movie about festivals and the jam band scene written/acted by Les Claypool (Primus).

The full title for the Festeroo movie is: Electric Apricot, the quest for Festeroo. Its like Spinal Tap for the festival scene. Claypool is hilarious. |

No one ever mentions Optimistic - which is definitely my favorite Radiohead song. I still remember the first time I heard it. I left the radio on one night when I fell asleep, and it came on around 3:00 am (a few weeks before Kid A was even out). I heard the intro and woke up, instantly knowing that something that beautiful and ethereal could ONLY be from Radiohead. I picked up my acoustic, de-tuned it to drop-D, and learned it as I listened. My 4th D-string broke while I was playing and I yelled out loud, "MOTHER-FUCKER!!!" I was so pissed. But right around 4 minutes and 20 seconds into the song, where the whole band breaks into the outro, still to this day whenever I hear it, I cannot be doing anything important (like operating machinery, etc.). It still yanks the hairs out of the back of my neck from goosepoops.

Got goosepoops just writing that out since it was playing in my head. |

That is a great story, Evanisovich. Radiohead does just have that effect. One that kinda hits me in a similar was is in Faust Arp where he calmly sings "I love you but enough is enough" as the cello eases through the line

The tune itself is great, but I latched on to the lyrics as well, since I tend to be an optimistic person. "The best you can is good enough." Sadly, I've only seen Radiohead live once, but when I did, this happened: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifGeTQKyDdEPS-the fireworks were part of a White Sox post game show, not the Radiohead show. |

I kept thinking while watching the fireworks that they picked really lame songs to coincide with, since Everything In It's Right Place and Fake Plastic Trees are so mellow. I didn't realize it wasn't planned until a couple days later. And really, had they planned it, how about during National Anthem? |

Still, an amazing show with crazy extracarricular light effects. |

yeah i just noticed what a bizarre list that is. Myxomatosis and Anyone Can Play Guitar but no Morning Bell, Idioteque, Exit Music or even Creep?
Regardless, Paranoid Android is the correct answer

That list of songs is ridiculous. "I left out some of the bigger hits in favor of these sub-par album tracks... choose!"
Electric Apricot was also directed by Les, by the way, and it is hilarious.

I'm voting for Exit Music anyway. Screw the poll.
