Badger Overlord I can see where he is coming from though lol to review Radiohead albums would be impossible for me. I would need to say the same thing repeatedly because it’s true for me there are no worst albums. Just all different. A few of my favorites on each one honestly. But yeah... a bit redundant.
Mrs Thom Yorke Ranking the Radiohead albums for me would be pretty easy until I got past The Bends...then I wouldn't know what order to put them in. Although I would probably put Kid A at the top.
@Snekcharmer Steal this Album (Best) Self Titled Storaged Melodies/Everything not released I.e. Marmalade, Virgin Tea, Fortress, Snowblind, Metro Hypnotize Toxicity Mezmerise Despite this, everything they've ever done is great
@Snekcharmer God damn I didnt think I'd ever meet someone with the same feelings on STA as Me, the powerful vocal passages are everywhere, the guitar writing is most unique and the meaning behind each song holds a higher value than anything else for me
Radiohead A to Z: In this list we rank all nine of Radiohead's studio albums by alphabetical order. Are you excited? Let's go! 1. Amnesiac A! M! N! There's no doubt that, regardless of its quality, Radiohead's album Amnesiac is ranked first in the alphabet. 2. A Moon-Shaped Pool This one is a bit of a controversial pick, given that both Amnesiac and Radiohead's most recent album start with the letter A. This decision was made even more complicated by the fact that both albums chose M as their second letter. After much debate however, we decided to place A Moon-Shaped Pool after Amnesiac on the basis of its third letter, O, falling just short of N in the alphabet. What a tight race! 3. The Bends Although Radiohead's sophomore album does technically start with T, it takes third spot in our list due to the funny rules of alphabetization. Although you may disagree with this placement and many automated music players will place The Bends lower in their alphabetical rankings, we decided to abide by the official alphabetical rules which require the ranker to completely ignore the word "the". Officially represented by the letter B, The Bends falls into third place. Already, Radiohead's letter coverage is impressive. 4. Hail to the Thief Hail to the Thief is particularly notable as the only Radiohead album to start with H. Because H comes after B in the alphabet, Hail to the Thief comes fourth in our ranking. 5. In Rainbows Doing for I what Hail to the Thief did for H, In Rainbows comes fifth in our list. Once again, we have pretty good letter coverage from Radiohead, almost making up for the glaring C-G gap in their discography. 6. Kid A As we move into the latter half of our list, we come across Radiohead's groundbreaking fourth album, Kid A. Despite the Kid in question being named after the first letter of the alphabet, Kid A ranks sixth in our list. By choosing to refer to A by his title, Radiohead places Kid A in the K bracket. If Radiohead chose to name their album A the Kid, it would rank first in the alphabet and link alphabetically to its companion album, Amnesiac. Our hot take is that Radiohead's show of restraint in naming prevented overcrowding of the letter A. Good job, boys! 7. The King of Limbs Another tricky choice, The King of Limbs matches Kid A to the first two letters. After careful consideration, however, The King of Limbs is ranked after Kid A on the basis of its third letter, N. At least N is further from D than O! 8. OK Computer In eighth place O is Radiohead's critically acclaimed third album. Much like the infamous proper noun of Pablo Honey, the global prominence of the English word OK means that OK Computer maintains its place in the alphabet regardless of the Latin alphabet language it's translated into. Whether this was a conscious choice designed to create a global standard for OK Computer's alphabetical aesthetic or merely a by-product of Radiohead's desire to demonstrate a state of agreeableness toward their computers can only be answered by the band themselves. 9. Pablo Honey Whether you love Pablo Honey or hate it, you have to admit that P is behind O in the alphabet. Interestingly enough, Radiohead's rock oriented first album is also the last entry in this alphabet oriented list. Boys and girls alike will delight in Radiohead's early experimentation with the letter P, but will be equally glad to see them move on to earlier letters in their later works. In conclusion, despite getting occasionally hung up on the letters K and A, Radiohead has shown a great degree of alphabetical variety and show no sign of stopping. Maybe one day, we'll even get an album that starts with L. Thanks for reading! Aaddehior rocks!
Not classing ‘The’ as alphabetical is simply right. Once upon a time there was record shops, the ‘T’ section would have been f-ing massive if it wasn’t for this simple rule...but there’s other reasons too
@@dcxrtcvain4209 Exactly. Paul actually died on a near weekly basis. Every time they cloned him, the clone would be a little more clumsy than the last one, so the Paul clones kept getting into more and more accidents.
Great list melon, here’s mine: 9. OK Computer 8. In Rainbows 7. Kid A 6. A Moon Shaped Pool 5. Hail to the Thief 4. The Bends 3. Amnesiac 2. Pablo Honey 1. The King of Limbs
9. A Queen of Torsos 8. Picasso Butter 7. Guy Who Forgets Stuff 6. Rain from a Criminal 5. The Twists 4. An Earth Moulded Spa 3. Teenager B 2. Out Stormclouds 1. Alright Telephone
Out Stormclouds is definitely my favorite one. It’s got a lot of their best songs like “Normal Cats”, “Fully-Clothed”, “Bodygivers”, “Jigsaw Flying out of Place”, and the list just goes on.
1. Absolution 2. Origin of Symmetry 3. Black Holes and Revelations 4. Mylo Xyloto 5. The 2nd Law 6. Showbiz 7. The Resistance 8. Parachutes 9. Viva la Vida
same I heard creep (original yes I know)for the first time in like 10 years, and I was like this shit is fuckin sweet. so then I listened to all of kid A and my mind was blown. I was taking an electronic music class and so I was just being opened up to the world of electroacoustic media and Kid A changed everything I knew about music. then I listened to everything else and they quickly became my favorite band. actually come to think of it, I listened to TKOLRMX 1234567 or whatever when I was in my edgy phase in middle school and I was like wtf is this garbage lmao oh how people change@Aaron Jones
Aaron Jones YES! I’ve never really liked Kid A. While some songs are interesting, I think the blatant electronic influences were too sudden. It’s not an album I can get through and fully enjoy. That song is the best part of the album.
1. Angelic 2 The Core 2. Total Xanarchy 3. Speedin Bullet 2 Heaven 4. The Big Day 5. Certified Lover Boy 6. Origins 7. Changes 8. Father of All… 9. Reckless **THIS IS MY OPINION*
I feel like Kid A on an individual song level isn’t the most satisfying but the flow of the record and the journey through it actually is what makes it a great album for me.
I often put on Everything In Its Right Place and after it's done I'm like "I guess I'll listen to the next track" and 40 minutes later "damn I listened to the entire album again" lol
ThomYorkeIsACoolCat That song and All I Need are just magical. Weird Fishes is so trance-like, and All I Need is pretty raw even though it’s a clean song.
@@mistertagomago7974 You don't have to like them, but there's no need for bashing. Kind of confuses me as to why you're on this video to begin with though.
@@nathanielmathiasmajor2691 I'm here because I was checking out some of this guys videos, and I heard Radiohead was his favorite band or at least Ok Computer was his favorite album (which doesnt really come across on this video) so despite not liking the band I was curious.
@@mistertagomago7974 It seems like In Rainbows is his favorite to be honest, and he picked Ok Computer because it's the general population that agree Ok Computer is their best album.
@@nathanielmathiasmajor2691 It came off that way as well to me, so I'm wondering if the list of his favorite albums I saw going around is fake or very outdated, especially since he quite clearly says Ok Computer isnt the best thing ever.
My ranking 9. Ok computer 8. The king of bends 7. ¿Yë? 6. Trout mask replica 5. ((Bruh moment #7)) 4. The Cheetos guy 3. How I met your mother 2. Pinkerton 1. 🛐
Is the Pinkerton thing a joke? I finally listened to that album and even at the time, I'd have found it very unimpressive and dull. Here we are in 2020 and it's actually just shit.
@@TheFiveishGamers National Anthem is literally the only song on Kid A that I don't like. I just cannot get through that fucking brass ensemble. I hated it the first time I heard it, and I still hate it now. It gels awfully with the rest of the album, I don't think it adds anything substantial to the song, and it sticks out like a sore thumb on an otherwise spotless record
That song is not accessible lmfao. I have no idea what he was thinking, Optimistic and Motion Picture Soundtrack are probably the easiest on the ears generally speaking.
Nah I actually agree with melon, National anthem is the easiest song to get into from kid a, it's catchy, it's fun to listen and those horns really give it a special touch. Those two other songs are too slow and kind of inconsistent to be accessible at first glance, don't get me wrong, they're good, but not accessible
@@eliasmg9144 I still disagree. Try showing National Anthem and Optimistic to the uninitiated and tell me otherwise. Optimistic is a much more marketable and consistent track already IMO, National Anthem is the literal opposite of a consistent track. It’s chaotic, shrill and while maybe catchy so is Optimistic without being as strange.
@@eliasmg9144 Everyone’s going to have different tastes, but even as a Radiohead nut I can’t see how the National Anthem is more accessible than Optimistic, the only actual alt-rock song on Kid A which is arguably Radiohead’s least accessible work already. In fact, my brothers and I thought Everything In It’s Right Place and National Anthem were jokes when we first heard them. Crazy how my perspectives have changed on Kid A.
I know you'll probably disagree because of that username, but I wanna see the list with only Gilmore and Waters projects. The video would be too long otherwise I think :/
I dunno, Anthony has never commented on pink floyds early psychedelic era and I would be interested to see how he compares it to the later (eaqually as good) stuff
I wasn't saying that trying to knock early Pink Floyd my man, just thinking about the list length cause I doubt Fantano would want to do such a long list. But now that I think about it he can just throw in full studio albums up until The Final Cut, that would be like what 11 albums? Not to crazy. Shit personally I put Piper over The Final Cut and Darkside so I wouldn't mind seeing melon's opinions on that.
creep still hits hard emotionally and i'll die on that hill. no i don't want to listen to some guy with a guitar covering it but every once in a while i'll come back to it and be like..... yeah............. this do be hittin tho
I met Thom Yorke once during my 2 week job placement in London when I was 15. I was in Covent Garden when my boss told me to go next door and get some receipt roll for the register from another shop, and Thom was in there talking to the owner. I just stood there and stared cause I was star struck, and the owner was like "I think she knows who you are" laughing and Thom just said "hello there." Safe to say I froze, basically crapped myself and walked out. What the fuck happened
"I think he knows who you are" as in Thom knew you were Doug Dimmadome Owner Of The Dimsdale Dimmadome. Of course he would know about Doug Dimmadome Owner Of The Dimsdale Dimmadome. Who doesn't know about Doug Dimmadome Owner Of The Dimsdale Dimmadome.
The bends is probably my second favorite album from them Ranking: 9:Pablo honey 🍯 8:King of limbs🦵🏽 7:Hail to the thief 🧎♂️ 6:Amnesiac 😵💫 5:A moon shaped pool 🌕 4:Kid A 👦 3:In rainbows 🌈 2:The bends 😟 1:Ok computer 🖥️
but imo: Kid A OK Computer A Moon Shaped Pool In Rainbows Hail to The Thief The Bends The King of Limbs Amnesiac Pablo Honey But A Moon Shaped Pool, In Rainbows and Hail to the Thief are essentially tied because I can't really find any reason to like one over the other. The King of Limbs is super underrated, although the second half kills the first half. Amnesiacs best tracks are all b-sides, and I feel the same way about the Bends, so that kinda disappointing to me and Pablo Honey has a few ok tracks on it but I think they were still finding their sound, and it generally suffers in comparison.
@@asinglebraincell6584 Even though it's true, Amnesiac is still by far my favorite album. If I made a list of my personal opinion I would have Amnesiac first but if I had to make a list about their best albums it will be a bit like this: 1. Kid A 2. OK Computer 3. In Rainbows 4. A Moon Shaped Pool 5. Hail To the Thief 6. The Bends 7. Amnesiac 8. The King of Limbs 9. Pablo Honey A Moon Shaped Pool to The King of Limbs are very close and might even be tied but I am confident with Kid A, OK Computer, In Rainbows and Pablo Honey
Exit Music is my favourite song in general at the moment. I recently rediscovered it and can't stop relistening. So haunting and has such a powerful climax.
when i first heard it i was like what is this slow ass shit ( from the build up ) then i decide to give it a chance and listen to it for the full length. I WAS TRANSCENDED. WE HOPE THAT YOU CHOKE, THAT YOU CHOKE
well... that was the biggest reason why he put this album on 6th place - it's didn't aged well, it's great, but only as 90's monolith. that what he thinks. personally, i can't stop relistening "just" and "street spirit"
It’s definitely a great song, I think the main reason why it’s underrated is because the song that follows it is the greatest song in the history of mankind
A moon shaped pool is everything I love about radiohead, and it's breathtaking in its ability to mesh old and new into a brand-new style, free from the constraints of what is expected, and simultaneously embracing what is expected. it's a strange paradox and they ride the line so well.
brien berry i always wanted to do one for every time he raised his glasses back to his face. I can predict it now from where his hands and glasses are as well as his facial features sometimes
You and Whose Army might be my favourite of any of Thom's vocal performances. I love how the song catches you off guard by beginning right away, and the piano finally colliding with the other instruments is justt beautiful. Amnesiac deserved a higher ranking than Hail to the Theif.
Am I the only one who loves the bends. Maybe it’s because that was the first Radiohead album I listened too. But no one can take Iron Lung and the bends from me
I bought it like a month ago and been listening to it constantly. It was an instant banger for me. Right now i'll say I probably enjoy it even more than Ok Computer. My least favourite from the album is Sulk, not because it sucks but because the other songs are so much better.
d.a. why do you think radiohead thought of themselves as ahead of the curve with this album? what makes you think that they would think that of themselves? are you ultimate arbitrator of when someone is "feeling too much of" themselves and you can just tell? seems like a weird reason not to like an album. cmon anthony. it's not just big from their discography. it really helped popularize the falsetto vocals that would be used in alt rock for like the following decade. cmon anthony.
I understand why you did not add My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy to this list, but I do think it should have placed top 3... just because Kanye made it and not Radiohead should not be reason enough to snub it this hard... unsubscribed
*listens to KID A once* To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Radiohead. The music is extremely complex, and without a solid grasp of poetic analysis most of the lyrics will go over a typical viewer’s (radio)head. There’s also Thom Yorke's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Chomsky, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of their music, to realise that they’re not just sad- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Radiohead truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Down Is The New Up lyrics which itself is a cryptic reference to George Orwell's 1984. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Jonny Greenwood's genius wit unfolds itself in their ears. What fools.. how I pity them.
That's right, not liking something has got 100% to do with understanding it... /sarcasm Radiohead are great, but you are essentially saying personal taste and opinion is linearly proportional with the listener's understanding of the lyrics, which is just not true. Not to mention that Radiohead lyrics can be interpreted in many different ways depending on the listener's life experiences and state of mind when first listening to a song. Your comment smacks of sheer elitism.
Jay Cee Genuinely think Fantano is just putting TKOL at the bottom for the sake of it. PH is a more important record in radioheads discography but TKOL is simply a better album.
I prefer Pablo Honey to In Rainbows, Hail to the Thief, The Bends and King of Limbs. "Stop Whispering" was a staple of my local college radio station when it came out and is still one of my favorite songs of theirs. Nothing tops Amnesiac and OK Computer though.
Pablo Honey is like The Vietnam War. You had to BE THERE MAN...some things are just distorted over time and place. I bought the CD at a market on a whim, famously it took off in America and ignored in UK, before Creep was a single& it was a unique sounding release. When The Bends came out i was in the shop waiting for a guy to open the cardboard box. It’s all i listened to for weeks. After Grunge deflated guitar music was interesting again and there was pride that it was British bands crafting fresh styles and variety. The Bends was experimental at the time but didn’t prepare you for what was to come and really Radiohead were influenced by lots of obscure electronic stuff going on in the UK like Warp Records. They grew tired of the traditional band aesthetic, threw the towel in the fire and the rest is history.
This video is what finally got me to listen to Radiohead and they've been my favorite band since. I'll go back and watch this video every now and then to see how my personal opinions have changed, which is really cool as I've gone through phases with each album.
While I acknowledge that OK Computer is the most important album in their discog, In Rainbows is my personal favorite one with OK right behind it and then Kid A (though recently I can’t decide if I like it or A Moon-Shaped Pool better).
@Anson Hartzler Yeah I prefer Radiohead's took on black metal hits like ''I Cum Blood" and "I Love the Ku Klax Klan" Can't believe they turned soft and pop, with poor lyrics like ''I sucked lemons'' like wtf is dat.
ItsYa Rope The White Album is fine. I haven't heard everything on it, but what I have heard is good (like Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da, Helter Skelter, Revolution 9, the normal stuff), even though from what I understand it's all over the place tonally.
Kami Lee yeah, I guess it's just a subjective thing. I do like a handful of tracks from the album (Mother Nature's Son, Long Long Long, Revolution 9, and a few more) but most of the tracks don't sit well with me
I got really excited by the release of King of Limbs. I preordered it, got the vinyl & prepared to be blown away. I was not, that is fine. I don't have to like everything they make to be a fan of the band. I ended up giving my brother the vinyl as a gift since he did like it. I just didn't place it on my play list for several years. It didn't speak to my soul. And if it did for others that is fine. Music is subjective and it should illuminate something with in you. Fast forward years later, I was hospitalized, had multiple surgeries, death scares as a parent of young children, looking at my own mortality. After the dust had settled and I was living life again, I decide to give the album a random listen cover to cover.. And man did I really love it. I was washing dishes and literately had tears falling upon the plate I was washing. I just stood there lost in the album. The water went cold as I wasted stored hot water in the water heater just trapped in my emotional awakening. I was paralyzed by how incredible the album was for me. My life experience allowed me to appreciate the album in ways I had not before. So I say this, don't force yourself to like any album no matter how much you love said group, but always give what you feel as duds occasional listens. You might be surprised that you might not of been ready for any said album in the earlier years. Music is art, and it needs to feed on your life experience. You are constantly evolving and so does your tastes. You don't have to prove your fan cred and force anything, but always be willing to reexamine your tastes. King of Limbs on release would of been one of my least liked radio head albums, lately it speaks to me in ways that few other albums by anybody has ever done.
I had a similar experience. Feb 2011 and heard it the first time, didn't get it and it felt kind of flat to me at the time. I only liked the last 3 tracks tbh. Fast forward to 2017 and I was emerging from a massive down period of 2 years of poor mental health. One day, the song Bloom played on an indie radio station while I was driving and my god thats when it spoke to me. The rhythm in that song felt so uplifting and liberating so I listened to the entire album that night including the b-sides. The King of Limbs is partly responsible for pulling me out of that void I lived in for 2 years. You're right, sometimes we're just not ready yet and it takes time 👍
I honestly think Seperator though is a highly underrated song, I didn't get much into The King of Limbs myself, but when I got half way through Seperator I got lost in a haze for a moment, quite an atmospheric song.
Abso-fucking-lutely. I too heard King of Limbs while going through a painful point in life. The Album is a stream of anthems for somber moments. I couldnt care less about fantanos opinion, to me it's a masterpiece. Also, just want to wish you well and I'm glad things turned out
ya. love u2 and u2's influence is all over The Bends and In Rainbows (my favorite Radiohead album. In those instances, they took U2's great sound but made it their own to the nth degree. Obviously it doesn't sound like U2 but u can hear the influence. Pablo Honey is just messy.
Pablo Honey is better than anything U2’s ever done. At least Radiohead aren’t a group of overbearing devout christian tax-evading hypocrites who fail at trying to hip and cool.
It sort of is but the easiest on the ears on Kid A is either Motion Picture Soundtrack or Idioteque. Both are fantastic tho despite them being more accesible
Accessibility has nothing to do with quality so I don't think there's any need to bring it up at all. But that just sounds like Anthony hasn't listened properly to Kid A in quite some time. Optimistic is pretty much a straight-up guitar based rock track with some added elements to it. And I would say that Morning Bell, Optimistic, Motion Picture Soundtrack and How To Disappear Completely are vastly easier on the ears than The National Anthem.
The easiest has gotta be Optimistic. It has pretty standard rock instrumentation, just with some interesting melodies and song structure, and use of the instruments I guess. It's also one of my favorite songs on the album.
Did you really just say that The National Anthem is the "easiest on the ears" of all the songs on Kid A? Personally I'd place that as the MOST out-there song on the entire album, lmao
Ok computer will always hold a special place in my heart. It was the first album I had ever received as a gift. It was from one of my best friends and at one point, partner. He has since passed and I still fall asleep listening to the album every now and then.
Radiohead map onto my own musical journey in a pretty unique way. When I was at 6th form college in the big city studying music A Level, a friend lent me The Bends on CD. I loved it, I wasn't big into alt rock so didn't have many reference points, but the songwriting and the energy and the underlying mood really hit me. Within a few months OK Computer had come out and I just lived in that album. The way moods were created on Climbing Up The Walls, Lucky and The Tourist was mindblowing to me. I went to uni at a small arts college and studied music. I was getting into Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, jazz music and avante-garde music. Music press started going wild with stories that Radiohead's next album was going to be this huge departure. I remember sitting in our student house with Kid A playing in the evenings with the place lit up with candles, talking to my friends about creativity and the meaning of life. Amnesiac came out pretty soon after, and to my ears it was even more beautiful. Pyramid Song was especially haunting, but as a whole it was like a work of art. Next I went off in a different direction in life and I'd get messages from my older brother that Radiohead had a new album out. He was not in to Kid A so he always described each new album as "Like OK Computer". I missed out on HTTT all together, but my brother downloaded In Rainbows and burned it to CD because they did that whole 'pay want you feel' thing for that album. So I liked In Rainbows but didn't see the artwork for years. More recently I got really into Moon-Shaped Pool and The Smile's first album so I've decided it's high time I went back and listened to HTTT and KoL. I agree with Anthony Fantano that KoL is a difficult album to love, dirge-like, repetitive and uninteresting songs it doesn't even have the underlying mood of a Kid A or a Moon-Shaped Pool. But I'm glad a 20-year old band could still experiment. I actually know the additional drummer from that album: Clive Dearner plays in a jazz band called Get The Blessing with an old teacher of mine. I'm really happy that Radiohead have found fans in all the generations since they first got big and I love that there are gen z Radiohead fans. It proves the band's unusual creative path over the past 30 years has got universal appeal to the right minds.
I think that Radiohead's strength isn't how experimental they are, but how they can take experimental ideas and create tracks that do have a conventional appeal to them. I can show a song from Kid A and even if they don't like it because they find it boring, they can see why someone else might like it in a way that they can't with something more experimental.
I can't get behind you dissing The Bends. It may not be super revolutionary, but it's nowhere near derivative of its time. To me at least the title track, High and Dry, Just, and Street Spirit still sound fantastic today.
I absolutely love Amnesiac. Pyramid song, Life in a glasshouse, Knives out, I might be wrong and yes You and whose army. The consistent mood in this album captivates me like nothing else
Glad to see OK computer at 1! I feel like a lot of die hard Radiohead fans are too snobby and hip to put it #1, but for me it's just plain and simple in the sense that that album is just packed with some of the most beautiful melodies I've ever heard!
They had the best guitarist in nu-metal though. It’s a shame that Fred’s lyrics are terrible because every one else in that band kicks ass on their instruments.
Its one of those songs that I think really grows on you over time. If I were to describe how it musically feels: it starts like raw and alone with you being stepped on and still unwilling to give up, as it builds and grows more instruments come in until you literally end up with a musical army backing up your lone voice. So it ends up really feeling like what the song is saying.

Ranking the Radiohead albums for me would be pretty easy until I got past The Bends...then I wouldn't know what order to put them in. Although I would probably put Kid A at the top.
Well that's because they're the greatest band of all time...

Dont get me wrong this is my favourite radio head song album on this
you should do this with Radiohead
He should do this with Kanye

Steal this Album (Best)

Oh my God yes
Radiohead A to Z:
In this list we rank all nine of Radiohead's studio albums by alphabetical order. Are you excited? Let's go!
1. Amnesiac
A! M! N! There's no doubt that, regardless of its quality, Radiohead's album Amnesiac is ranked first in the alphabet.
2. A Moon-Shaped Pool
This one is a bit of a controversial pick, given that both Amnesiac and Radiohead's most recent album start with the letter A. This decision was made even more complicated by the fact that both albums chose M as their second letter. After much debate however, we decided to place A Moon-Shaped Pool after Amnesiac on the basis of its third letter, O, falling just short of N in the alphabet. What a tight race!
3. The Bends
Although Radiohead's sophomore album does technically start with T, it takes third spot in our list due to the funny rules of alphabetization. Although you may disagree with this placement and many automated music players will place The Bends lower in their alphabetical rankings, we decided to abide by the official alphabetical rules which require the ranker to completely ignore the word "the". Officially represented by the letter B, The Bends falls into third place. Already, Radiohead's letter coverage is impressive.
4. Hail to the Thief
Hail to the Thief is particularly notable as the only Radiohead album to start with H. Because H comes after B in the alphabet, Hail to the Thief comes fourth in our ranking.
5. In Rainbows
Doing for I what Hail to the Thief did for H, In Rainbows comes fifth in our list. Once again, we have pretty good letter coverage from Radiohead, almost making up for the glaring C-G gap in their discography.
6. Kid A
As we move into the latter half of our list, we come across Radiohead's groundbreaking fourth album, Kid A. Despite the Kid in question being named after the first letter of the alphabet, Kid A ranks sixth in our list. By choosing to refer to A by his title, Radiohead places Kid A in the K bracket. If Radiohead chose to name their album A the Kid, it would rank first in the alphabet and link alphabetically to its companion album, Amnesiac. Our hot take is that Radiohead's show of restraint in naming prevented overcrowding of the letter A. Good job, boys!
7. The King of Limbs
Another tricky choice, The King of Limbs matches Kid A to the first two letters. After careful consideration, however, The King of Limbs is ranked after Kid A on the basis of its third letter, N. At least N is further from D than O!
8. OK Computer
In eighth place O is Radiohead's critically acclaimed third album. Much like the infamous proper noun of Pablo Honey, the global prominence of the English word OK means that OK Computer maintains its place in the alphabet regardless of the Latin alphabet language it's translated into. Whether this was a conscious choice designed to create a global standard for OK Computer's alphabetical aesthetic or merely a by-product of Radiohead's desire to demonstrate a state of agreeableness toward their computers can only be answered by the band themselves.
9. Pablo Honey
Whether you love Pablo Honey or hate it, you have to admit that P is behind O in the alphabet. Interestingly enough, Radiohead's rock oriented first album is also the last entry in this alphabet oriented list. Boys and girls alike will delight in Radiohead's early experimentation with the letter P, but will be equally glad to see them move on to earlier letters in their later works.
In conclusion, despite getting occasionally hung up on the letters K and A, Radiohead has shown a great degree of alphabetical variety and show no sign of stopping. Maybe one day, we'll even get an album that starts with L.
Thanks for reading!
Aaddehior rocks!
Lmao thanks for this
I appreciate this. Thank you.
I like that Pablo Honey is still last
Not classing ‘The’ as alphabetical is simply right. Once upon a time there was record shops, the ‘T’ section would have been f-ing massive if it wasn’t for this simple rule...but there’s other reasons too

same I heard creep (original yes I know)for the first time in like 10 years, and I was like this shit is fuckin sweet. so then I listened to all of kid A and my mind was blown. I was taking an electronic music class and so I was just being opened up to the world of electroacoustic media and Kid A changed everything I knew about music. then I listened to everything else and they quickly became my favorite band. actually come to think of it, I listened to TKOLRMX 1234567 or whatever when I was in my edgy phase in middle school and I was like wtf is this garbage lmao oh how people change@Aaron Jones
Aaron Jones YES! I’ve never really liked Kid A. While some songs are interesting, I think the blatant electronic influences were too sudden. It’s not an album I can get through and fully enjoy. That song is the best part of the album.

"The National Anthem is one of the easiest on the ears."
Melon Man did you even listen to the album before making this
That song is not accessible lmfao. I have no idea what he was thinking, Optimistic and Motion Picture Soundtrack are probably the easiest on the ears generally speaking.
Nah I actually agree with melon, National anthem is the easiest song to get into from kid a, it's catchy, it's fun to listen and those horns really give it a special touch. Those two other songs are too slow and kind of inconsistent to be accessible at first glance, don't get me wrong, they're good, but not accessible
@@eliasmg9144 I still disagree. Try showing National Anthem and Optimistic to the uninitiated and tell me otherwise. Optimistic is a much more marketable and consistent track already IMO, National Anthem is the literal opposite of a consistent track. It’s chaotic, shrill and while maybe catchy so is Optimistic without being as strange.
@@Cheddar_Wizard I did, they agreed with me, it's not that hard really
@@eliasmg9144 Everyone’s going to have different tastes, but even as a Radiohead nut I can’t see how the National Anthem is more accessible than Optimistic, the only actual alt-rock song on Kid A which is arguably Radiohead’s least accessible work already. In fact, my brothers and I thought Everything In It’s Right Place and National Anthem were jokes when we first heard them. Crazy how my perspectives have changed on Kid A.

I dunno, Anthony has never commented on pink floyds early psychedelic era and I would be interested to see how he compares it to the later (eaqually as good) stuff
I wasn't saying that trying to knock early Pink Floyd my man, just thinking about the list length cause I doubt Fantano would want to do such a long list. But now that I think about it he can just throw in full studio albums up until The Final Cut, that would be like what 11 albums? Not to crazy. Shit personally I put Piper over The Final Cut and Darkside so I wouldn't mind seeing melon's opinions on that.

d.a. why do you think radiohead thought of themselves as ahead of the curve with this album? what makes you think that they would think that of themselves? are you ultimate arbitrator of when someone is "feeling too much of" themselves and you can just tell? seems like a weird reason not to like an album. cmon anthony. it's not just big from their discography. it really helped popularize the falsetto vocals that would be used in alt rock for like the following decade. cmon anthony.

*listens to KID A once*
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Radiohead. The music is extremely complex, and without a solid grasp of poetic analysis most of the lyrics will go over a typical viewer’s (radio)head. There’s also Thom Yorke's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Chomsky, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of their music, to realise that they’re not just sad- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Radiohead truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Down Is The New Up lyrics which itself is a cryptic reference to George Orwell's 1984. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Jonny Greenwood's genius wit unfolds itself in their ears. What fools.. how I pity them.

r/gatekeeping

U mean hail to the thief right?
That's right, not liking something has got 100% to do with understanding it... /sarcasm
Radiohead are great, but you are essentially saying personal taste and opinion is linearly proportional with the listener's understanding of the lyrics, which is just not true. Not to mention that Radiohead lyrics can be interpreted in many different ways depending on the listener's life experiences and state of mind when first listening to a song.
Your comment smacks of sheer elitism.
It’s funny how no one agrees on what the best is, but everyone agrees Pablo Honey is the worst
Travie T this video literally states that’s not the case.
Jay Cee Genuinely think Fantano is just putting TKOL at the bottom for the sake of it. PH is a more important record in radioheads discography but TKOL is simply a better album.
I prefer Pablo Honey to In Rainbows, Hail to the Thief, The Bends and King of Limbs. "Stop Whispering" was a staple of my local college radio station when it came out and is still one of my favorite songs of theirs. Nothing tops Amnesiac and OK Computer though.
Pablo Honey is like The Vietnam War. You had to BE THERE MAN...some things are just distorted over time and place. I bought the CD at a market on a whim, famously it took off in America and ignored in UK, before Creep was a single& it was a unique sounding release. When The Bends came out i was in the shop waiting for a guy to open the cardboard box. It’s all i listened to for weeks. After Grunge deflated guitar music was interesting again and there was pride that it was British bands crafting fresh styles and variety. The Bends was experimental at the time but didn’t prepare you for what was to come and really Radiohead were influenced by lots of obscure electronic stuff going on in the UK like Warp Records. They grew tired of the traditional band aesthetic, threw the towel in the fire and the rest is history.
I love Pablo honey, top 3 for me
everything is *NOT* in its right place

Don’t listen to melon though. The Bends; TKOL; and Amnesiac are masterful.

Call me a normie but OK Computer is my favorite rock album ever
normie ass bitch😤😤😤😤😤😤😤

Pleb
While I acknowledge that OK Computer is the most important album in their discog, In Rainbows is my personal favorite one with OK right behind it and then Kid A (though recently I can’t decide if I like it or A Moon-Shaped Pool better).
Normies these days listen to mostly rap and trap honestly
Treefingers is actually a perfect transition bc the previous 2 tracks were so heavy that it finally gives you a break and it feels like meditation
Yeah I think Kid A is actually a perfect album.
actually i wish it was longer than just 3 minutes
“Pyramid Song is redundent” do you even like music?
Yeah more like "do you even KNOW music?" PYRAMID SONG IS A MASTERPIECE!
@Anson Hartzler it's definitely not a simple song. Completely inconsistent chord changes throughout

(Swans plays the same chord for half a goddamn hour) 10/10

@Anson Hartzler Yeah I prefer Radiohead's took on black metal hits like ''I Cum Blood" and "I Love the Ku Klax Klan" Can't believe they turned soft and pop, with poor lyrics like ''I sucked lemons'' like wtf is dat.
AMNESIAC IS A GREAT ALBUM
SAY IT WITH ME:
"AMNESIAC IS A GREAT ALBUM"
@Conrad Nickelson nice opinion I wonder where you got it from
amnesiac has 3 good songs on it
I've never heard a Radiohead album, I'm just here
@@walrus3479 facts
Amnesiac is like Shrek 2, it's great but people like always mentioned the first one; Kid A.
hot take: pablo honey isn't nearly as bad as people say, it has a lot of enjoyable tracks
I agree. Vegetable, Lurgee, You are great tracks
fr tho
It great, just not as good as other Radiohead tracks and it just kinda feels out of place for me
srsly tho. Blow Out is my fav track, it sets the tone for their next projects.
Blow out, prove yourself, you, vegetable, and last and surprisingly not least - creep. But the rest are a bit naff
Ranking something by Radiohead worst to best is like rating Victoria Secret models
Fr tho cause if anyone else wrote the bends or amnesiac it would be their best album by far

Kami Lee yeah, I guess it's just a subjective thing. I do like a handful of tracks from the album (Mother Nature's Son, Long Long Long, Revolution 9, and a few more) but most of the tracks don't sit well with me

mootbooxle Yeah I didn't get that they where making a melon joke
Cmon Melon you can’t talk about in Rainbows without talking about weird fishes/arpeggi, the best song on the album

I got really excited by the release of King of Limbs. I preordered it, got the vinyl & prepared to be blown away. I was not, that is fine. I don't have to like everything they make to be a fan of the band. I ended up giving my brother the vinyl as a gift since he did like it. I just didn't place it on my play list for several years. It didn't speak to my soul. And if it did for others that is fine. Music is subjective and it should illuminate something with in you.
Fast forward years later, I was hospitalized, had multiple surgeries, death scares as a parent of young children, looking at my own mortality. After the dust had settled and I was living life again, I decide to give the album a random listen cover to cover.. And man did I really love it. I was washing dishes and literately had tears falling upon the plate I was washing. I just stood there lost in the album. The water went cold as I wasted stored hot water in the water heater just trapped in my emotional awakening. I was paralyzed by how incredible the album was for me. My life experience allowed me to appreciate the album in ways I had not before.
So I say this, don't force yourself to like any album no matter how much you love said group, but always give what you feel as duds occasional listens. You might be surprised that you might not of been ready for any said album in the earlier years. Music is art, and it needs to feed on your life experience. You are constantly evolving and so does your tastes. You don't have to prove your fan cred and force anything, but always be willing to reexamine your tastes. King of Limbs on release would of been one of my least liked radio head albums, lately it speaks to me in ways that few other albums by anybody has ever done.
txdust80 amen
I had a similar experience. Feb 2011 and heard it the first time, didn't get it and it felt kind of flat to me at the time. I only liked the last 3 tracks tbh. Fast forward to 2017 and I was emerging from a massive down period of 2 years of poor mental health. One day, the song Bloom played on an indie radio station while I was driving and my god thats when it spoke to me. The rhythm in that song felt so uplifting and liberating so I listened to the entire album that night including the b-sides. The King of Limbs is partly responsible for pulling me out of that void I lived in for 2 years. You're right, sometimes we're just not ready yet and it takes time 👍
This comment deserves so many more thumbs up
I honestly think Seperator though is a highly underrated song, I didn't get much into The King of Limbs myself, but when I got half way through Seperator I got lost in a haze for a moment, quite an atmospheric song.
Abso-fucking-lutely. I too heard King of Limbs while going through a painful point in life. The Album is a stream of anthems for somber moments. I couldnt care less about fantanos opinion, to me it's a masterpiece. Also, just want to wish you well and I'm glad things turned out
Really, Pablo Honey’s worst crime is sounding too much like a cheaper U2 album
Omg- I don’t think I’ll ever be able to enjoy Pablo honey now
What's worse than a cheap U2 album? A free U2 album
ya. love u2 and u2's influence is all over The Bends and In Rainbows (my favorite Radiohead album. In those instances, they took U2's great sound but made it their own to the nth degree. Obviously it doesn't sound like U2 but u can hear the influence. Pablo Honey is just messy.
@@lucasphillips2177 True, fam. But, The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby are like two masterpieces by U2.
Pablo Honey is better than anything U2’s ever done. At least Radiohead aren’t a group of overbearing devout christian tax-evading hypocrites who fail at trying to hip and cool.
"The song National Anthem is probably the easiest on the ears Radiohead gets on Kid A"
LOL
It sort of is but the easiest on the ears on Kid A is either Motion Picture Soundtrack or Idioteque. Both are fantastic tho despite them being more accesible
Accessibility has nothing to do with quality so I don't think there's any need to bring it up at all. But that just sounds like Anthony hasn't listened properly to Kid A in quite some time. Optimistic is pretty much a straight-up guitar based rock track with some added elements to it. And I would say that Morning Bell, Optimistic, Motion Picture Soundtrack and How To Disappear Completely are vastly easier on the ears than The National Anthem.
The easiest has gotta be Optimistic. It has pretty standard rock instrumentation, just with some interesting melodies and song structure, and use of the instruments I guess. It's also one of my favorite songs on the album.
@@k-leb4671 Yeah, Optimistic is the most straightforward rock song on the album.
DerpyDosh he’s just wrong, optimistic is definitely “easier on the ears”, as are how to disappear completely and motion picture soundtrack
I personally love King of Limbs. It feels like an underground 80s soundboard fused with Radioheads sound layering
10:49 "'ful stop'" my favorite radiohead song. period."
I see what you did there.
I noticed that too. I wonder if he actually did it on purpose though
Did you really just say that The National Anthem is the "easiest on the ears" of all the songs on Kid A? Personally I'd place that as the MOST out-there song on the entire album, lmao
John Hamm or morning bell
It is Melon we are talking about.
@@TheGrindhouse70 wdym
Yeah. That's kind of ridiculous. I think I'd go with Optimistic. There's a reason they call it "Poptimistic."
Actually easily motion picture soundtrack is the easiest on the ears
Ok computer will always hold a special place in my heart.
It was the first album I had ever received as a gift. It was from one of my best friends and at one point, partner. He has since passed and I still fall asleep listening to the album every now and then.

Radiohead map onto my own musical journey in a pretty unique way. When I was at 6th form college in the big city studying music A Level, a friend lent me The Bends on CD. I loved it, I wasn't big into alt rock so didn't have many reference points, but the songwriting and the energy and the underlying mood really hit me.
Within a few months OK Computer had come out and I just lived in that album. The way moods were created on Climbing Up The Walls, Lucky and The Tourist was mindblowing to me.
I went to uni at a small arts college and studied music. I was getting into Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, jazz music and avante-garde music. Music press started going wild with stories that Radiohead's next album was going to be this huge departure. I remember sitting in our student house with Kid A playing in the evenings with the place lit up with candles, talking to my friends about creativity and the meaning of life. Amnesiac came out pretty soon after, and to my ears it was even more beautiful. Pyramid Song was especially haunting, but as a whole it was like a work of art.
Next I went off in a different direction in life and I'd get messages from my older brother that Radiohead had a new album out. He was not in to Kid A so he always described each new album as "Like OK Computer". I missed out on HTTT all together, but my brother downloaded In Rainbows and burned it to CD because they did that whole 'pay want you feel' thing for that album. So I liked In Rainbows but didn't see the artwork for years.
More recently I got really into Moon-Shaped Pool and The Smile's first album so I've decided it's high time I went back and listened to HTTT and KoL. I agree with Anthony Fantano that KoL is a difficult album to love, dirge-like, repetitive and uninteresting songs it doesn't even have the underlying mood of a Kid A or a Moon-Shaped Pool. But I'm glad a 20-year old band could still experiment. I actually know the additional drummer from that album: Clive Dearner plays in a jazz band called Get The Blessing with an old teacher of mine.
I'm really happy that Radiohead have found fans in all the generations since they first got big and I love that there are gen z Radiohead fans. It proves the band's unusual creative path over the past 30 years has got universal appeal to the right minds.
I think that Radiohead's strength isn't how experimental they are, but how they can take experimental ideas and create tracks that do have a conventional appeal to them. I can show a song from Kid A and even if they don't like it because they find it boring, they can see why someone else might like it in a way that they can't with something more experimental.
I can't get behind you dissing The Bends. It may not be super revolutionary, but it's nowhere near derivative of its time. To me at least the title track, High and Dry, Just, and Street Spirit still sound fantastic today.
Just still sounds incredible!
nice dream and fake plastic trees too
The title track will forever be so good, seriously
The Bends got me into Radiohead. Still in my top 5 albums EVER!!!!!!
Street Spirit is THE best song they ever wrote. It’s super dark, negative, and pessimistic and I love it.
I absolutely love Amnesiac. Pyramid song, Life in a glasshouse, Knives out, I might be wrong and yes You and whose army. The consistent mood in this album captivates me like nothing else
Same same same
Pyramid Song is just fuckin' fire
I might be wrong is soooo tight!!
SAME
I think you forgot Hunting Bears
Creep may be “entry-level,” but I still really like it.
I'm 3 years late to this, but "Nude" features the best musical arrangement I can track down. The evolution of the track is so stunningly organic.
Glad to see OK computer at 1! I feel like a lot of die hard Radiohead fans are too snobby and hip to put it #1, but for me it's just plain and simple in the sense that that album is just packed with some of the most beautiful melodies I've ever heard!
Beatles fans are the same with Sgt Pepper

@@citizena1495 same
You and Whose Army, the song I most frequently come back to...
Its one of those songs that I think really grows on you over time. If I were to describe how it musically feels: it starts like raw and alone with you being stepped on and still unwilling to give up, as it builds and grows more instruments come in until you literally end up with a musical army backing up your lone voice. So it ends up really feeling like what the song is saying.
that movie is good 😌
