Hey David. I used to be just like you. And then I sat and listened to their album OK Computer thru headphones with a couple beers. I literally had a spiritual experience.
I do this on a regular basis with tool albums. I should try it with ok computer too. Edit: My first "spiritual" experience was lateralus in high school
@@jamesleblanc7437 I took acid and listened to ok computer and kid a for the first time. I had life changing experiences. Beautiful, revelatory experiences
I know what you mean, when I listened to this and some Syd Barrett solo work, my metalhead ears blown out. I still listen to metal, but my rock ears were extended.
This song has to be heard on the studio version, this live version was abbreviated and the lead singer was goofing a little for the crowd, the original is a master piece
I actually listened to the studio version a few nights later at the advice from the viewers. Yes indeed, the live version does not do the studio version justice...the studio version is soooo much better in every way.
The guitars tones Radiohead are crazy. Ed O’Brien makes some of the craziest sounds you’ve ever heard. Goes far beyond traditional electric guitar sounds in rock.
I think you mean Jonny Greenwood. Ed is a superb guitarist, but he tends to do the background rhythm and standard playing. Jonny is the out there solo maniac. Also does film scores. Highly talented dude
@@Owlyross I think you're waaaaaaaaay simplifying Ed's role in the band. He does A LOT of effects work with his guitar. He may have had a more traditional rhythm role in the first two albums, but that's definitely evolved from OK Computer onward (and especially starting with Kid A onward). Look at the looping work he does in the first half of Ful Stop, or the ambient noises he contributes to songs like House of Cards or Separator, or the infinite sustain effects he's used on songs like Where I End And You Begin and The National Anthem. There's still rhythm duties on songs like 2+2=5 or Myxomatosis or Bodysnatchers, but that's only a fraction of what he does. In this song, for example, he's doing traditional rhythm guitar in the heavy movements of the song, but he's also doing the high-pitched descending lines during the "What's That" chorus. Also, Jonny has tended away from being a "solo maniac". You don't hear a lot of traditional solos out of him, and it's hard to think of a song where he's had one after OK Computer (where he had the solo on Paranoid Android and Lucky... but I think Ed had the one on The Tourist). He's said in interviews that he's bored of that sort of guitar playing, although he obviously still does it regularly when they play older material at live concerts.
@@ExileOnDaytonStreet I absolutely agree, on more recent albums absolutely. He's a great player. I'm really more thinking about the first three albums where the roles were more defined
A few Radiohead facts. They've had thirty-three radio singles and have been nominated for over 80 music awards including 22 Grammy awards. They've sold roughly 40 million albums as of 2020 and are considered one of the most well respected bands in music by their peers. Besides their 9 (so far) studio albums and 1 live album, they have over 30 albums worth of B-sides and rarities. In 2004 they released a 26 disc collection of B-sides and rarities called "Towering Above the Rest" and since have made a lot more. A couple of the songs on their latest album were re-recordings of songs from that compilation. They have also done a lot of work for the film industry.
It’s hard to put a label on Radiohead. They evolve with each album. OK Computer is described as the Dark Side of the Moon of the 90’s. Seen as a career killer as a third album that didn’t lean towards mainstream and went more experimental at the time. Check out Let Down, Lucky and No Surprises from OK Computer. Also, check out The Bends. The album that followed Pablo Honey (the album featuring Creep) They grew up fast from Creep and really came into their own as a unique band.
OK Computer was the polar opposite of a career killer. It immediately launched them to world wide fame and has sold more copies than any of their other albums. It received universal acclaim by critics and was nominated for Album of the Year and Best Alternative Album at the 1997 Grammy Awards. It won Best Alternative Album.
Four things: 1.Phil Selway (the drummer) is one of the most underrated drummers in rock history, 2.Unlike most bassists, Colin Greenwood plays while constantly looking at the drummer. They are in constantly communication, 3.Three of the five members of Radiohead are multi-instrumentalists. This song may be heavy on guitar, but that's because the keyboards, extra percussion, etc., are not needed, and 4.I like to rank bands using 1980 as a measuring stick. The pre-1980 bands (Zeppelin, Beatles, Stones, Floyd, Hendrix, etc.) are in one group and the post-1980 bands (Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Pretenders, Smiths, STP, Smashing Pumpkins, etc.). Of all of the post-1980 bands, I rank Radiohead as the #1 best band. They are brilliant on many levels.
Street Spirit (Fade Out) is beautiful. There There has the weirdest video. Everything in its Right Place is other worldly. I generally find I like about 80% of their output, but some is remarkable & unlike anything else you'll hear.
Best performance of this song I've seen by Radiohead was on the Jools Holland show; it was near perfect and much better than this effort. Check it out.
I can check it out, but I won't be able to do an honest reaction to it....but I can watch it for myself. I'll need a link so I watch the correct video.
Radiohead aren't prog rock. They are themselves, unclassifiable. But thanks for reacting to Paranoid Android. Jonny Greenwood also writes film music, was nominated for an Oscar recently. They're all multi-instrumental, so there are five drummers on one song. It depends what they think they need to do. You'll listen to them again.
yeah, they've went from bordering on metal in the loudest parts of a few songs to minimal techno to indie pop to jazz to blues to punk... they really have done nearly everything
Love your view on getting too caught up in the technicalities of "prog rock" and crazy time signatures in general. I think think those are necessary avenues to go down, necessary "phases" to go through, but like the great jazz pianist Bill Evans once said (And im paraphrasing here), "Jazz suffered when it became 'too intellectual.' Its almost like under grad school, its when your're breaking out into the world, getting introduced to many new things, always striving for the higher art or idea, and often these intellectual pursuits are the more tantalizing, but also you start to come to the realization that quite often the unleashed and unelaborated soul is a far higher art than anything these "mathists" can add to the equation of musical creativity. Sorry, didnt mean to go on that long, but it totally reminded me of that Bill Evans take. If you ever start doing any Jazz reviews, heres one, and to me is the perfect embodiment of one of the greats just gettin bare and simple, resulting in a completely transcendent piece: th-cam.com/video/Nv2GgV34qIg/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=WilliamRepicci
I also just wanted to say that Radiohead often sound quite a bit different on their albums as they do live so you might want to check out the album version of Paranoid Android. They like to change things up when playing live to keep things interesting. There's also the lack of audio fidelity you get with live performances that weren't recorded well. Understanding that copyrights get in the way of playing album versions on reaction videos, they do have some really high quality live performances that are called Radiohead: Live from the Basement. They have a lot of great songs in which they recorded for that series so if you get anymore requests for them, check to see if they performed it on Live from the Basement. I also just wanted to say, as a fellow fan of good music, that OK Computer is an album meant to be played through from beginning to end, and you should really experience it that way on your own time. It's, honestly, brilliant and will give you a new found respect for them.
How many of you guess what Dave will score the song down to the decimal before he does ? And how many are getting really accurate at your guesses? 😎🤘 Also.....Ok Computer is one of my favorite albums of all time, and to fully appreciate this track you have to listen to it in context with the rest of the album. Having said that David, I completely respect your analysis and opinion from one musician to another and really appreciate your open mindedness to find value in songs/bands/artists even if they're not "your cup of tea" ✌🤟
My recommendation would be "Man o'War (Big Boots)" from the OK Computer re-release ("OK / not OK"). A song they didn't finish for decades, constantly failing on a studio version, but it just turned out absolutely gorgeous for the wait. My overall favourite of theirs, and I've heard pretty much all their stuff. It's also refreshing when they come out with something more rock-like since they've gone a lot more electronic/minimalist in general, but they do pepper in some rock now and then. Most fans seem to prefer their current direction, but I prefer their guitarey stuff personally.
This is my favorite song from Radiohead although The Bends is my favorite album from them (that album fucking rocks). Not a big fan of most that came out after OK Computer but there are very few bands that have pushed boundaries like Radiohead has.
Great reaction, first video I've ever seen of you. Radiohead are probably my fav band after thinking I wouldn't like them for years. Each album is drastically different, so you may find that Hail to the Thief might be your fav if you like progressive rock and weird time signatures. 2+2=5, there there, a wolf at the door would be a good start down that alley. But if you like rock, The Bends has got you covered. Experimental/Electronic? Kid A is for you. I could go on but there is an album for everyone is what I'm trying to say.
Solid review.. yeah Radiohead can go either way on people. I personally love this song, there's better ones, but this is the one that got me into them .good stuff 🤙
@@THEDavidHeretic th-cam.com/video/bShrtYXFQiY/w-d-xo.html A lyrics vid has been up a few years so probably won't get blocked. Thanks man, great reactions

Holy shit fuck yeah, I've been watching your videos for quite some time, you've been listening to literally almost every fav bands of mine, from Soundgarden to Nirvana to Arctic Monkeys to now Radiohead. Check out There, There by them, I think you'll like it a lot actually.
Being of this era of band, it is not prog rock (although I like that). It's proper X Gen, we are cynical about everything! their music reflects that, even on a pure music basis of messing with traditional modes of music, weird effects etc. Question everything, get a bit angry, we were the gen that just thought too much
@@moonillusions832 I would include A Moon Shaped Pool in that list but that’s just me. I feel like they didn’t get enough credit for that album. It’s perfect from beginning to end IMO.
Later that night I listened to the studio version, like everyone was telling me I should do. Yeah, the studio version was definitely better in so many ways. I could here the layering a lot clearer, the vocals were a lot cleaner, it was just better in every single way.
@@THEDavidHeretic that's great to hear! I definitely recommend reviewing more Radiohead songs (specifically from their album The Bends which I'd suggest (: )
The more I get in to Radiohead the more amazed I am at how they ever got so popular they are one of the most critically acclaimed bands ever and even though their music is in a lot of ways progressive as hell they are not a prog rock band if I had to compare them to another band which I hate to do it would be the Beatles because they evolved so much during their career if you want to get a great feel for them as a band I would suggest either of the basement sessions if you want a more prog feel try Bloom but only from the basement sessions.
Thanks, David, for the reaction! 😊 This song really is the most prog they get. Lol. They to me are in their own genre and are growing with each album. I had hoped you'd like and sip the tea some more, but hey, you still saw the talent. This album, OK Computer is one of the few that I remember where I was and what I was doing when I heard it. PLEASE don't give up on them yet... May just need some more songs to hear. The next song im gonna ask for you to react to (pretty please) IS my all time favorite song by them (although every song of their's is my favorite). RECKONER~Live from the basement. th-cam.com/video/2FMP-9bn9N8/w-d-xo.html Please don't give up on them. 😉 Thanks, David. ✌
Paranoid Android is obviously a good song but is not really the side i love from Radiohead (i know lots of fans do love it) I would recomend you to check songs like "Reckoner" or "Nude" live From the Basement. Btw really like your detailed analisis on the song, good job!
I felt that there was something wrong in the song the first time I heard it but I figured it’s like the unsettling feeling I got in the intro of time by Pink Floyd and now I’m used to it.
Radiohead was probably the last decent prog rock band. Sad but True as the meme song would say it. You can also take as experimental too, this was the first song I ever hear from them, and I hear the studio version, when they were younger. Thom has even white hair too today... And it's a 90's band.
I hate when people say “you shouldn’t start with this song”, but... You shouldn’t start with this song. Radiohead came around during the latter part of the grunge era. Creep was a product of that time. They really found something on their sophomore album, The Bends. Check out My Iron Lung, High and Dry and Fake Plastic Trees from The Bends. It will give you an idea of where they came from and how they got to Paranoid Android. Great band. They put on amazing shows. Deep catalogue of songs.
Hi There! 🖐 I'm one of the ones who requested it. I had hoped for studio version instead of live version. Feel like things sometimes get lost in translation, especially for a first listen. I felt that this was a great song for David to be introduced to. I remember when this album dropped I was in awe. It is the best album to me from the 90's. Don't get me wrong, I love The Bands, I was just listening to it this morning (Weird). There are so many amazing songs to choose from, Paranoid Android from OK Computer seemed the best due to the prog as well as it blowing my mid the first time I ever heard it. KID A and In Rainbows is my favorite albums of theirs. I love more of their experimental stuff. Leave David a link for what song you'd like him to react to from The Bends. He'll react and put it in Que for a listen if ya have a link. ✌
@@fgrillo29 It's the same song, I can't do an honest reaction to it. I thought you were going to request one of the other songs you mentioned that I haven't heard yet.
What a great band radiohead is. But, I can’t say I like them. I don’t know, I need some more blood running through the veins, and for me, they’re just musically virtuous guys! After all, I consider Ok Computer a serious candidate to be the Album of the 90s.
They have a dozen mainstream hits beyond Creep. The singer Thom Yorke is one of the most emotional singers ever. Also the electric rhythm guitarist is a huge fan of U2’s the Edge which explains the color. The Drummer is a jazz drummer who joined them into a alt band. You still hear some of his jazz blood though. Radiohead is all about emotion and not being amazing upon peoples opinions. Followed them almost 30 years lol.
the prog rock came from the 4th album, because they pulling away how rock song written and progressively using electronic as rock instruments on their 4th album, which is massively influence the electronic and rock genre. as i recall, radiohead on Ok Computer still called Alt-Rock thou. thats why their 4th album is the greatest left turn in music industry. why 3 guitars? as far i know the three of them all multi instrumentalist so its their setup for performing other songs. anw, interested in Post-Rock? this is genre that develop on modern era i think. take a listen to the pioneer of the genre, Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fist Like Antennas To Heaven. their album last for 90+ minutes butt only consist of 4 songs. its like classical music but with rock instruments. th-cam.com/video/PZwQeZh6rP0/w-d-xo.html
Radiohead aren't Prog in the usual sense - they never tried to be, but the label was imposed on them after this album (OK Computer) came out and got a lot of critical praise. The band themselves reject the label, but the result is a kind of "accidental prog". Some of the attitude is reminiscent of Pink Floyd (e.g. The Wall), while I listen to a song like Let Down and hear shades of 80s King Crimson.
Nice reaction dude!! Please react to Radiohead - Bloom (live from the Basement), it's my favorite song by them, make sure you use the live version which is far better
This song gave Radiohead a bit of a prog-rock rep because of the 7/8 change and the several bits of music pasted together. But it's really the odd one out. The rest of their work is pretty experimental at certain moments, but it usually sticks to a kind of pop song format.
@@gpeddino so can you explain the pop structures of Pyramid Song, Like Spinning Plates, Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box, 15 Step, The Numbers, Decks Dark, Weird Fishes/Arpeggi, In Limbo, Bloom, Lotus Flower, Myxomatosis? Hell let’s even take it back to Ok Computer. Where’s the pop structure in Exit Music (For a Film)? Even Reckoner doesn’t have a pop song format. You don’t have to say they’re the most experimental band ever, but to say that most of their work sticks to a pop song format is just flat out wrong. It’s the fact that they made charting songs that sit outside the conventional pop format that is so impressive about them.
@@metrosuez7475 I see your point. But I argue that, if you asked the band itself about this, they would say that they make pop music. Yes, they explore dissonance and texture in a way that is very uncommon in mainstream music, but at the same time, pretty much all of their songs still stick to a radio-oriented duration of about 3 to 4 minutes. Many of them have verses and choruses (How To Disappear Completely, Optimistic, Knives Out, All I Need, Bodysnatchers, Little By Little, Morning Mr. Magpie, Burn The Witch, just to mention a few from 2000 on) and they avoid extended instrumental passages that are very common in prog rock. Perhaps you could say that they EXPAND on the pop format and play around with bridges and strange transitions, creating something that is very unique to them. But I still think it's very reminiscent of the "pop" (as in popular) song format.
Never been a fan of Radiohead. Mostly because I never opened my mind to this strangeness. If I committed myself to it, I’m sure I’d grow to appreciate it...probably even really like it. I’m just too old to make that commitment to become a “fan” of Radiohead.
I actually went and listened to the studio version a couple nights ago. Yes I can definitely hear a significant difference. Some bands are definitely made for the studio more than live, and Radiohead definitely sounds like they fit that description.
@@THEDavidHeretic Some of their live versions are really good too, but I find that most often to be the case when they're in a studio type setting, like appearing on a TV show. Here's the live version of PA I would have recommended to you if you were looking for a live version: th-cam.com/video/K50UVfgwVuA/w-d-xo.html
@@THEDavidHeretic Actually its the other way around watch the two basement sessions if that doesnt do it for you then theyre probably not for you it took me a while to really get Radiohead and they change their sound a lot from album to album being a fan of Rush,Yes,ELP and King Crimson I really didnt think I would like Radiohead that much but boy was I wrong.
I can definitely listen to the whole album....but if I do that, I can't do any reactions to any of the songs. As for the other part, I actually don't smoke or anything like that. Not that I condemn it or anything, if people want to do it and they don't hurt anyone doing it, it's all good. It's just not for me.
Whoa! Havent heard this review yet and honestly didnt see it coming. Im usiallu here for your Pearl Jam Reviews (And others like the LOVEBITES one which was great.). Although it might not be in their top 20 songs (Debateable), this might be the Radiohead song Id recommend to a first timer. Awesome album. Let Down is another gem. Since I havent heard you review yet, not sure you will come back to them, but this is one of their closest "Arena rock" tracks as it is big, driving, and explosive: th-cam.com/video/f6ZkWBjgnIY/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=ItachiUchiha
Im not familair with a lot of their love versions, but after seeing this one, unless a case is seriously made against it, Id recommend the studio versions for most of their work.
@@HutTwoHike I agree with studio version as well. Unless it's something from In The Basement. I requested this song in studio version, Nothing is ever as clean, especially for a first listen. I think David likes live performances though as well.
For me this song is on par with Bohemian Rhapsody. I'd rate it 9.9 but in this case you need the studio version and some context: OK computer is a concept album, and Radiohead is arguably a concept band. Out of the blue I can see why you give it an 8.1 on first listen to a live performance, but it's not really the way to go. This is complex music and a lot of it got lost in the mix.
It really amazes me how musicians "react to Paranoid Android for the first time". I mean, I was like 5-6 yo girl and heard this song multiple times from different sources, Radiohead always been somewhere close as I grew up (I live in Russia) I always thought this song is iconic and well known by everyone who knows something about music. And musicians? Who knows nothing? About RH? It just beyond understanding. Maybe this is some american thing with british bands idk
For the record, I didn't choose this video. This was a request, just like every other video on the channel. This channel is 100% request driven. The requester asked for this song, and include a link to the specific video to use. All requests made for the channel must include a link to the specific video the requester wants me to use, that way I don't use the wrong video by accident.
@@THEDavidHeretic Oh, sure! I'll just put all of them, I don't expect you to react to all of them but, Radiohead is my all time favorite band and the idea of someone listening to songs that aren't creep makes me very happy so even if ya just want to listen on your own time I'd be happy. This is Sail to the Moon (th-cam.com/video/nfuKo1HJJYc/w-d-xo.html) Sit down stand up (th-cam.com/video/CVf_HGoY-1E/w-d-xo.html) Daughters is a noise rock band that released what I think is one of the greatest rock albums of my lifetime in 2018. It's not everyones taste but it's an incredible experience at the very least. It's abrasive and loud and captures the feelings they're trying to convey in ways I've never experienced before so, good luck. There's Guest House (th-cam.com/video/rSXw6Ok47dQ/w-d-xo.html) And if you want something more... Normal? Satan in the wait (th-cam.com/video/tSl4w6PXVbY/w-d-xo.html)
Oh, and the Sail to the Moon video has a couple of minutes of nothing at the end. I like to think it's so that you can contemplate your purpose in life but, it's probably just a mistake.
I was never able to get into the singer. But I’ll give them a try on your channel. I just remember my friends and I used to call them whiner emo rock, but we didn’t really give them a try either. Little older now, willing to actually give them a chance.
This version doesn't do the song justice at all, the studio version is far better. Ok Computer from which this is from is ranked as one of the best albums of all time, its a technical masterpiece. Everything else is opinion ofc :)
I've never seen your channel before but at it was paranoid Android in my feed I said what the hey. Then I heard your into "Only Heard Creep ..." , Right I buckled in, I knew you were about to have your brain blown 🤯 The studio version of this, with headphones, in your own time, just do it, listen to the entire album 👍🏼 th-cam.com/video/fHiGbolFFGw/w-d-xo.html At the end of the day, was this anything like Creep? Then skip ahead an album or two and pick another song, was that anything like Paranoid Android. That's why it's so hard to pigeon hole Radiohead
I actually did go back and listen to the studio version a day after I released the video because a lot of people suggest I should. Yeah the studio version was a lot better actually.
@@THEDavidHeretic Awesome, I'll go check out a few more of your reactions now, I'm not yet sure what music you are into and have reacted to, so on that blind note, have you done much Jethro Tull (I assume yes as you talked a lot about prog rock)
@@the_judge_8262 I've heard a bunch over the years from Jethro Tull, so yeah it would be very difficult to do an honest reaction to them unfortunately.
It really annoys me that everybody always reacts to the live version of paranoid android I don't get why everybody requests it live it sounds like a giant mess the vocals are horrible you can't understand what he's saying it ruins the entire feel of the song it's impossible to get into because once again it sounds like a mess everything is out of place so I don't get why the live version is always requested
I experienced it at the beginning of the pandemic and it holds a pretty special place in my heart now and want to relieve that experience through others.

Of all of the post-1980 bands, I rank Radiohead as the #1 best band. They are brilliant on many levels.
Street Spirit (Fade Out) is beautiful. There There has the weirdest video. Everything in its Right Place is other worldly. I generally find I like about 80% of their output, but some is remarkable & unlike anything else you'll hear.
Great to see you touch on Radiohead. Such an amazing band with so many variations in song content
I love how we keep getting these nuggets of David Heretic lore and history with these asides in the videos, like the prog rock breakdown in this one.
Best performance of this song I've seen by Radiohead was on the Jools Holland show; it was near perfect and much better than this effort. Check it out.
I can check it out, but I won't be able to do an honest reaction to it....but I can watch it for myself. I'll need a link so I watch the correct video.
@@THEDavidHeretic Here you go David m.th-cam.com/video/K50UVfgwVuA/w-d-xo.html
@@richey4287 Thanks I will check it out tonight.
Radiohead aren't prog rock. They are themselves, unclassifiable. But thanks for reacting to Paranoid Android. Jonny Greenwood also writes film music, was nominated for an Oscar recently. They're all multi-instrumental, so there are five drummers on one song. It depends what they think they need to do. You'll listen to them again.
yeah, they've went from bordering on metal in the loudest parts of a few songs to minimal techno to indie pop to jazz to blues to punk... they really have done nearly everything
Love your view on getting too caught up in the technicalities of "prog rock" and crazy time signatures in general. I think think those are necessary avenues to go down, necessary "phases" to go through, but like the great jazz pianist Bill Evans once said (And im paraphrasing here), "Jazz suffered when it became 'too intellectual.' Its almost like under grad school, its when your're breaking out into the world, getting introduced to many new things, always striving for the higher art or idea, and often these intellectual pursuits are the more tantalizing, but also you start to come to the realization that quite often the unleashed and unelaborated soul is a far higher art than anything these "mathists" can add to the equation of musical creativity. Sorry, didnt mean to go on that long, but it totally reminded me of that Bill Evans take. If you ever start doing any Jazz reviews, heres one, and to me is the perfect embodiment of one of the greats just gettin bare and simple, resulting in a completely transcendent piece:
th-cam.com/video/Nv2GgV34qIg/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=WilliamRepicci
time signature of Radiohead is awesome
I also just wanted to say that Radiohead often sound quite a bit different on their albums as they do live so you might want to check out the album version of Paranoid Android. They like to change things up when playing live to keep things interesting. There's also the lack of audio fidelity you get with live performances that weren't recorded well.
Understanding that copyrights get in the way of playing album versions on reaction videos, they do have some really high quality live performances that are called Radiohead: Live from the Basement. They have a lot of great songs in which they recorded for that series so if you get anymore requests for them, check to see if they performed it on Live from the Basement.
I also just wanted to say, as a fellow fan of good music, that OK Computer is an album meant to be played through from beginning to end, and you should really experience it that way on your own time. It's, honestly, brilliant and will give you a new found respect for them.
How many of you guess what Dave will score the song down to the decimal before he does ? And how many are getting really accurate at your guesses?
😎🤘
Also.....Ok Computer is one of my favorite albums of all time, and to fully appreciate this track you have to listen to it in context with the rest of the album.
Having said that David, I completely respect your analysis and opinion from one musician to another and really appreciate your open mindedness to find value in songs/bands/artists even if they're not "your cup of tea" ✌🤟
I try, sometimes I’m close.
7/4. You nailed it.
My recommendation would be "Man o'War (Big Boots)" from the OK Computer re-release ("OK / not OK"). A song they didn't finish for decades, constantly failing on a studio version, but it just turned out absolutely gorgeous for the wait. My overall favourite of theirs, and I've heard pretty much all their stuff. It's also refreshing when they come out with something more rock-like since they've gone a lot more electronic/minimalist in general, but they do pepper in some rock now and then. Most fans seem to prefer their current direction, but I prefer their guitarey stuff personally.
"He has the talent" 😂😂
As far as I'm aware,that was there glastonbury gig and all there monitors had gone
This is my favorite song from Radiohead although The Bends is my favorite album from them (that album fucking rocks). Not a big fan of most that came out after OK Computer but there are very few bands that have pushed boundaries like Radiohead has.
Radiohead is legendary!!
Great reaction, first video I've ever seen of you. Radiohead are probably my fav band after thinking I wouldn't like them for years. Each album is drastically different, so you may find that Hail to the Thief might be your fav if you like progressive rock and weird time signatures. 2+2=5, there there, a wolf at the door would be a good start down that alley. But if you like rock, The Bends has got you covered. Experimental/Electronic? Kid A is for you. I could go on but there is an album for everyone is what I'm trying to say.
Solid review.. yeah Radiohead can go either way on people. I personally love this song, there's better ones, but this is the one that got me into them .good stuff 🤙

Being of this era of band, it is not prog rock (although I like that). It's proper X Gen, we are cynical about everything! their music reflects that, even on a pure music basis of messing with traditional modes of music, weird effects etc. Question everything, get a bit angry, we were the gen that just thought too much
They didn’t have a lot of mainstream hits but having what many consider two of the best albums of all time probably makes up for it:)
OK Computer, Kid A, and In Rainbows
@@moonillusions832 I would include A Moon Shaped Pool in that list but that’s just me. I feel like they didn’t get enough credit for that album. It’s perfect from beginning to end IMO.
This is not a band I'd do live on a first listen, the layering and intricacies doesn't always come through in live versions
Later that night I listened to the studio version, like everyone was telling me I should do. Yeah, the studio version was definitely better in so many ways. I could here the layering a lot clearer, the vocals were a lot cleaner, it was just better in every single way.
@@THEDavidHeretic hmm, so did you have a new possible score for it? :D
@@violethill4454 Probably around an 8.7
@@THEDavidHeretic that's great to hear! I definitely recommend reviewing more Radiohead songs (specifically from their album The Bends which I'd suggest (: )
The more I get in to Radiohead the more amazed I am at how they ever got so popular they are one of the most critically acclaimed bands ever and even though their music is in a lot of ways progressive as hell they are not a prog rock band if I had to compare them to another band which I hate to do it would be the Beatles because they evolved so much during their career if you want to get a great feel for them as a band I would suggest either of the basement sessions if you want a more prog feel try Bloom but only from the basement sessions.
Thanks, David, for the reaction! 😊 This song really is the most prog they get. Lol. They to me are in their own genre and are growing with each album. I had hoped you'd like and sip the tea some more, but hey, you still saw the talent. This album, OK Computer is one of the few that I remember where I was and what I was doing when I heard it. PLEASE don't give up on them yet... May just need some more songs to hear. The next song im gonna ask for you to react to (pretty please) IS my all time favorite song by them (although every song of their's is my favorite).

It would be wildly entertaining to watch Dave be the one guy at a music festival screaming for Radiohead to get off the stage.
Highly doubt you'll ever see me at one of their shows.
The Bends is a great song from them.
They’re not prog rock nor have they ever been. Classic British indie.
As long as The Smiths
The studio version myt make a better impression on you..
I actually have received a number of suggestions about that, gonna do that tonight.
I felt that there was something wrong in the song the first time I heard it but I figured it’s like the unsettling feeling I got in the intro of time by Pink Floyd and now I’m used to it.
Listen to the album version .. There is a reason for 3 guitars and that version shows it..
Second guitarist playing the cabasa in the beginning
Radiohead was probably the last decent prog rock band. Sad but True as the meme song would say it. You can also take as experimental too, this was the first song I ever hear from them, and I hear the studio version, when they were younger. Thom has even white hair too today... And it's a 90's band.
I hate when people say “you shouldn’t start with this song”, but... You shouldn’t start with this song. Radiohead came around during the latter part of the grunge era. Creep was a product of that time. They really found something on their sophomore album, The Bends. Check out My Iron Lung, High and Dry and Fake Plastic Trees from The Bends. It will give you an idea of where they came from and how they got to Paranoid Android. Great band. They put on amazing shows. Deep catalogue of songs.
Hi There! 🖐 I'm one of the ones who requested it. I had hoped for studio version instead of live version. Feel like things sometimes get lost in translation, especially for a first listen. I felt that this was a great song for David to be introduced to. I remember when this album dropped I was in awe. It is the best album to me from the 90's. Don't get me wrong, I love The Bands, I was just listening to it this morning (Weird). There are so many amazing songs to choose from, Paranoid Android from OK Computer seemed the best due to the prog as well as it blowing my mid the first time I ever heard it. KID A and In Rainbows is my favorite albums of theirs. I love more of their experimental stuff. Leave David a link for what song you'd like him to react to from The Bends.

What a great band radiohead is. But, I can’t say I like them. I don’t know, I need some more blood running through the veins, and for me, they’re just musically virtuous guys! After all, I consider Ok Computer a serious candidate to be the Album of the 90s.
They have a dozen mainstream hits beyond Creep. The singer Thom Yorke is one of the most emotional singers ever. Also the electric rhythm guitarist is a huge fan of U2’s the Edge which explains the color. The Drummer is a jazz drummer who joined them into a alt band. You still hear some of his jazz blood though.
Radiohead is all about emotion and not being amazing upon peoples opinions. Followed them almost 30 years lol.
the prog rock came from the 4th album, because they pulling away how rock song written and progressively using electronic as rock instruments on their 4th album, which is massively influence the electronic and rock genre. as i recall, radiohead on Ok Computer still called Alt-Rock thou. thats why their 4th album is the greatest left turn in music industry.
why 3 guitars? as far i know the three of them all multi instrumentalist so its their setup for performing other songs.
anw, interested in Post-Rock? this is genre that develop on modern era i think. take a listen to the pioneer of the genre, Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fist Like Antennas To Heaven. their album last for 90+ minutes butt only consist of 4 songs.
its like classical music but with rock instruments.

PLS MORE RADIOHEAD
Radiohead aren't Prog in the usual sense - they never tried to be, but the label was imposed on them after this album (OK Computer) came out and got a lot of critical praise. The band themselves reject the label, but the result is a kind of "accidental prog". Some of the attitude is reminiscent of Pink Floyd (e.g. The Wall), while I listen to a song like Let Down and hear shades of 80s King Crimson.

I was there. It was transcendent.
This song gave Radiohead a bit of a prog-rock rep because of the 7/8 change and the several bits of music pasted together. But it's really the odd one out. The rest of their work is pretty experimental at certain moments, but it usually sticks to a kind of pop song format.
Maybe on the bends and pablo honey lol.
this reeks of someone who hasn’t listened to any album after this one
@@metrosuez7475 You mean me? Well, I actually play in a Radiohead cover band and I know their catalogue inside out. So, no.
@@gpeddino so can you explain the pop structures of Pyramid Song, Like Spinning Plates, Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box, 15 Step, The Numbers, Decks Dark, Weird Fishes/Arpeggi, In Limbo, Bloom, Lotus Flower, Myxomatosis? Hell let’s even take it back to Ok Computer. Where’s the pop structure in Exit Music (For a Film)? Even Reckoner doesn’t have a pop song format. You don’t have to say they’re the most experimental band ever, but to say that most of their work sticks to a pop song format is just flat out wrong. It’s the fact that they made charting songs that sit outside the conventional pop format that is so impressive about them.
@@metrosuez7475 I see your point. But I argue that, if you asked the band itself about this, they would say that they make pop music. Yes, they explore dissonance and texture in a way that is very uncommon in mainstream music, but at the same time, pretty much all of their songs still stick to a radio-oriented duration of about 3 to 4 minutes. Many of them have verses and choruses (How To Disappear Completely, Optimistic, Knives Out, All I Need, Bodysnatchers, Little By Little, Morning Mr. Magpie, Burn The Witch, just to mention a few from 2000 on) and they avoid extended instrumental passages that are very common in prog rock. Perhaps you could say that they EXPAND on the pop format and play around with bridges and strange transitions, creating something that is very unique to them. But I still think it's very reminiscent of the "pop" (as in popular) song format.
Never been a fan of Radiohead. Mostly because I never opened my mind to this strangeness. If I committed myself to it, I’m sure I’d grow to appreciate it...probably even really like it. I’m just too old to make that commitment to become a “fan” of Radiohead.

Not that this was a bad live version, but I would highly recommend listening to the album version instead, especially on a first listen.
I actually went and listened to the studio version a couple nights ago. Yes I can definitely hear a significant difference. Some bands are definitely made for the studio more than live, and Radiohead definitely sounds like they fit that description.
@@THEDavidHeretic Some of their live versions are really good too, but I find that most often to be the case when they're in a studio type setting, like appearing on a TV show.

Saw you counting the tempo, its 7/8 but shifts in a few points. Can just about play the first half on accoustic and its not an intuitive rythm 😅
For me this song is on par with Bohemian Rhapsody. I'd rate it 9.9 but in this case you need the studio version and some context: OK computer is a concept album, and Radiohead is arguably a concept band. Out of the blue I can see why you give it an 8.1 on first listen to a live performance, but it's not really the way to go. This is complex music and a lot of it got lost in the mix.
not the best version, but they do a lot of things differently than the boring norm. the 3 guitarists can also play many instruments .
