There There as the WORST song on HTTT?

indeed

 

[u2popmofo]

OMG, u gaiz r 3litistz

 

[MMP]

Well, just listened to Amnesiac (listening again).
This is the first I'm hearing for the first time (HTTT, OK, Bends and Kid I've had listened previously before enjoying and loving them; for those who lost the previous chapters .)
I must say Amnesiac is a poor album. Despite 3-4 great songs it's doesn't have the same appeal as the other four (and In Rainbows) have. I mean, what the hell is "Morning Bell/Amnesiac" doing here? What's the point? The song is great, but it doesn't belong here. Well, it's my first listen, maybe it'll grow. But right now I don't feel it deserves to be compared to IR, OK, Bends, Kid and even HTTT, which is a very strong album when compared to this. (And actually, it is a good album, but not brillant like the other four.)

And just for fun, here's how I would rank Amnesiac tracks: (the first three are so good they almost save the album by themselves.)

#1 Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors
#2 You and Whose Army?
#3 Life In a Glass House
#4 Morning Bell/Amnesiac
#5 Knives Out
#6 Pyramid Song
#7 I Might Be Wrong
...
#8 Packt Like Sardines In a Crushd Tin Box
#9 Dollars and Cents
#10 Like Spinning Plates
#11 Hunting Bears

So, now I'll listen to In Rainbows.... this one I already know, it's great.
Now I need advice on EPs and B-sides. Show me what you got, folks!

 

[u2popmofo]

When Amnesiac came out, pretty much every poster in this forum liked it more than Kid A. That was when there was actually a "Radiohead" section of Interference....

Finally someone who appreciates the brilliance of the song as much (or possibly more) as I do...though I'd rank it as the fourth best song on the album, behind Pyramid, Spinnin' Plates and Might Be Wrong.

"Finally someone"??
I can't believe that a song like this is bashed by the Radiohead fanbase. To me it's one of their strongest tracks.
On another note; another proof that video clips can make you like a song even more: I just watched Pyramid Song's video and I'm all

 

[martha]

Amnesiac: Not really a good gym album.

 

[MMP]

Anyway, just listened to In Rainbows again... I would make a description, but I'm tired now, so I'll just say:
And, of course, rank the songs:

#1 House of Cards
#2 Nude
#3 Bodysnatchers
#4 Faust Arp
#5 All I Need
#6 15 Step
#7 Videotape
#8 Reckoner
#9 Jigsaw Falling Into Place
#10 Weird Fishes/Arpeggi

Now I'll listen to some b-sides....

 

[lazarus]

Wow, you need to stop posting these lists because they're getting worse every time.

Arpeggi as the worst?

PLEASE BAN.

 

[MMP]

Why I didn't start to like Radiohead before?! I'm this....

EDIT: It's not because it's on the bottom of the list that I think it's a bad song.

[MMP]

Really? Jigsaw at the top?

 

[coemgen]

I just listened to this today. Seems like it gets better every time.

I need to get the b-sides now.

 

[phanan]

I need to listen to In Rainbows again. It's been a while.

[elevated_u2_fan]

I am digging the House Of Cards love, I remember it taking a beating when the album was first released...

 

[MMP]

House of Cards is beautiful.


EDIT: I'm wondering what would be the reactions if I posted my Radiohead top 10 songs.....

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

shocked dismay?

If Faust ARP was about twice as long it would probably be up near the top of my list...

 

[MMP]

Oh, and btw, I've been listening to their b-sides (it's officialy Radiohead week at my house.) and well, there's some crap... but there's some good stuff here.

So far I liked a lot:
Maquiladora
The Trickster
Palo Alto

I need to find In Rainbows b-sides

EDIT: What the hell is that song at the background of Lewis (Mistreated)? Is it Iron Lung?
EDIT II: Just realized that In Rainbows b-sides are what is in that bonus disc, which I have.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

their best b-sides (imo) are:

Meeting In The Aisle - Airbag/How Am I Driving? Ep
Fog - Knives Out Single
Cuttooth - Knives Out Single
Gagging Order - Comlag 2+2=5 EP
Pretty Much all of the In Rainbows B-sides (minus the MK's)

 

[phillyfan26]

It should be noted that that ranking means very little. I love every track on In Rainbows.

but without rank how am I supposed to know what I should like??!!111

 

[cdisantis83]

It should be noted that that ranking means very little. I love every track on In Rainbows.

In Rainbows is an incredibly consistent album. I would rank it this way:

1: Nude
2-9: Too close to call
10: Jigsaw

[MMP]

Cool... none list even resembles mine.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Cool... none list even resembles mine.

You and I like Faust Arp better than everyone else. I had it above Jigsaw for a minute until I remembered how much that song rocks live.

The first three songs on my list are all actually tied for #1 but I made myself pick an order for them.

 

[u2popmofo]

Joyful's 8 & 9 shock and disturb me.
