I recommend listening to the entire OK Computer album as a whole. I know it's a lot, but it's considered to be one of the greatest albums of all time by many.
The one right after it, Kid A, was a complete left turn; they mostly ditched the guitars and went electronic. It's also considered a masterpiece by many.
You definitely have to dive into more from „Creep. :D This is considered the „Bohemian Rhapsody“ of the 90s. Radiohead is super inventive and had massive influence on other bands (such as Muse, Coldplay and many more). In Rainbows from the basement is fantastic, but so it „How To Disappear Completely“ or „Everything In It’s Right Place“ from Kid A as well as the whole OK Computer album.
Radiohead - intelligent rock that became more and more abstract (and electronic) over the years. It's depressive at times - but highly recommended. Unlike many radiohead fans, I somehow prefer the albums surrounding 'Ok Computer' considerably more ('The Bends' and 'Kid A'), but my blah blah aside, this one is a defining moment for 90s alt-rock. Some critics even considered the album modern progressive-rock (and apparently Nathan got the same impression 😉).
The best, most inventive band of the last 40 yrs. Any track from the In Rainbows - From The Basement live session will blow you away. The version of this song performed on the Jools Holland show is way better than this one btw.
I'm biased (I was at this, somewhat near-ish the front and facing Jonny Greenwood) but I think this is better - the Jools holland might be technically better, but there is an energy, and perhaps a slight rawness, in this one that I find missing from the Jools holland one and for me that makes a real difference. I loved Later with Jools holland and it introduced me to so much music growing up and there are some fantastic performances on there, but with radiohead, technically brilliant perhaps but something was missing. I feel the same for The Basement ones. Better under the lights with the energy of a crowd..... I just re-watched jools Holland and yes, its a great performance. Not sure it's better than this one (they playing of the song might be, but I think the overall glasto performance is better), But I can totally see why people go to it.
It's interesting that you mentioned the prog thing. Because of the popularity of this song they actively avoided writing long songs for a time because they didn't want to be pigeonholed as a prog band
Radiohead? Pretty sweet. I recommend the album A Moon Shaped Pool if you want glistening pianos and beautiful strings. Cant really hone down a consistent sound with them. Also dont mind the crazy fans :)
A huge percentage of Radiohead fans are musicians and artists themselves, i think that tells a story. 7 out of the 9 albums they have released are considered classics (the one with Creep is not lol) They have enough b-sides and non album tracks to make another 3 or 4 albums worth of quality that most bands would kill for.
Radiohead are great live; see the Jools Holland performance of this track. However the studio album this is from OK Computer deserves a serious listen; one of the best albums ever.
They are always improving and interesting. Love them so much more and more. This song is relatively early for them. Watch their In the Basement vids, especially In Rainbows.
I know it's the same song, but you guys have to check out Paranoid Android live on Jools Holland on YT. It's so much more crisp than this Glastonbury performance. Trust me, it's worth it!
Radiohead discography is quite a journey. They are a very versatile band and if you wanna hear more recent rock tracks that could fit the bangers category you're talking about, maybe try the song Bodysnatchers from In Rainbows. For a live version, everybody will tell you to watch the From the Basement version because it's incredibly great for a music lover.
I agree, you SHOULD hear more Radiohead. By the way there are better live versions of Paranoid Android including their superb live performance on Jools Holland in 1997, the year the album OK Computer was released which the track comes from
Nonsense, it's a great live performance. it's true that thom's voice is better in others, maybe with him being an hour in to the gig, and the camera doesn't capture Jonny greewoods guitar work but its still good, and is played with energy and passion. (now the version of ideoteque that follows is a bit weak, but other songs in this gig were great, including this one)
First thing you should know. And probably most importantly, is that you never compare Radiohead to another band. You always say the other band sounds like Radiohead. Haha, but seriously. Don't disrespect us like that LOL Loved the video! Keep doing Radiohead guys, they're great and have so many unique sounds. In Rainbows album is the best
And please go to lyric videos for first listens. He always plays with the songs on live performances, you'll appreciate it more when you really get into the band.
Please I beg review more Radiohead I definitely prefer their later stuff but unless you’re fans of electronic music you might not like it as much as their earlier stuff
I'm going to start calling them Creep from now on 😂 I don't quite understand why people choose to introduce bands with live versions of a song, but that's a personal preference. Having said that, I haven't seen this performance before, but it's not nearly as bad (or even bad at all) as I was expecting based on the comments.
@@chr0nicstupidity His vocals aren't great in parts, but I don't think they're bad as a few people were saying in the comments hence the "(or even bad at all) part of my comment.
Not a very good representation. It's the sloppiest RH I've heard... and I am a fan. Please try the In the Basement vids. These guys are truly amazing and synergistic. ♡ Lyrics are helpful too, as Thom delivers in a rather indecipherable manner at times.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!

@@moonillusions832 that would be a good reaction too, might be easier for them to get into them through OKC first and work their way through
@@devon8419 Defintely. Songs like Street Spirit, Karma Police, No Surprises would be a good start!
@@moonillusions832 I don't think I've heard street spirit, I'll have to check it out
Welcome to Radiohead. Words cannot describe... you just have to close your eyes and take it in.
I saw Radiohead in 2008 on their In Rainbows tour. Still probably the best concert I've ever been to.
The better live version was the Jools Holland version from 1997. It's up on youtube.
Was nice to see your reaction to Radiohead, I will recommend checking their song called "Reckoner" from the Basement . Have a nice day 😄
🤘💜🤘 Love this song. Ok Computer is still my favorite Radiohead album. 24 years later, it stistill holds up for me.
You definitely have to dive into more from „Creep. :D
This is considered the „Bohemian Rhapsody“ of the 90s. Radiohead is super inventive and had massive influence on other bands (such as Muse, Coldplay and many more).
In Rainbows from the basement is fantastic, but so it „How To Disappear Completely“ or „Everything In It’s Right Place“ from Kid A as well as the whole OK Computer album.
You guys should cover In Rainbows From the Basement... You will be blown away.
As soon as Dave Grohl saw this live he said something along the lines of "we're fucked"
True story that

Agreed on Kid A and The Bends; better total albums than Ok Computer , though this maybe be the best individual song on all three albums.
The best, most inventive band of the last 40 yrs. Any track from the In Rainbows - From The Basement live session will blow you away. The version of this song performed on the Jools Holland show is way better than this one btw.
Totally missed this when I gave the same recommendation!
You're right, LWJH is the best live version!

@@hrs9018 OK name another.

Other Radiohead songs (from the same album) Karma Police or No Surprises

yep 7 out of 9 excluding the bends and pablo honey (the one with the creep) lmao
In rainbows is just great. I also enjoyed hail to the thief, and amnesiac

The Jools Holland version is off the charts good. And OK Computer start to finish Is up there with the greats.

Everything from them you should do... and you surely got it... they are incredible... 1997!!!!
Please react to weird fishes from the basement, one of the best live studio performances I have ever heard
Yeah, that's my favorite song of all time, that particular version.
The best rock musicians alive. OK Computer is probably the best album of the last 30 years?
Stay with Radiohead!!
Check out something... “FROM THE BASEMENT”
I am 60 and i still listen to Radiohead everyday, just love there music, but i'm not a Genesis fan🤣🤣🤣
And tell me - it had to be such surprise like anything else you've ever heart?
I agree, you SHOULD hear more Radiohead. By the way there are better live versions of Paranoid Android including their superb live performance on Jools Holland in 1997, the year the album OK Computer was released which the track comes from
They chose the worst paranoid Android live version ever to do this to 😭😭😭

The only song Thom Yorke will never play live ever again is Creep.. haha

@@colemandias3212 The Jools Holland performance of this song is out of the world!
Tbh Radiohead is mostly compared with themselves if you see... Like "blip bloop radiohead is best"....naah "orchestral cinematic radiohead best"....naah "political radiohead best".....naah "dark grim radiohead best"....naah "moaning Thom radiohead best"....naah "ambient space metropolis radiohead best"....
I think that what you're saying after first time hearing it you didn;t get all the geniality!!! What you think after 2 years?
Please I beg review more Radiohead I definitely prefer their later stuff but unless you’re fans of electronic music you might not like it as much as their earlier stuff
Omg!!! There’s no comparison to oasis or Coldplay!! Radiohead are far superior and in a totally different league
That is exactly what happened to Radiohead, the rest of their music sounds nothing like creep, they got pigeon holed by the song Creep
Please do Morrissey - We'll Let You Know
Are they coldplay ?😂
For me this is the only band which is somehow getting close to the Beatles... like released 50 years before anyone can understand this...
How are you two older white dudes who consider themselves music fans and not have any inkling of anything Radiohead has done besides creep? How?
What answer can we give where you’ll be ok ?

It was a specific request from a patron. They provide the link. Hope that helps you understand
@@WelpHereWeAreOnTH-cam helps me? i get it, thanks.
If you're doing a reaction to a song you haven't heard before, please don't choose a concert live version. Especially not from a festival gig.
We don’t pick the videos. The patrons who paid for it do.
Suggest you check out Everything in it's right place or Reckoner.
Radiohead is amazing, but their song Creep is OVERRATED and overplayed.
