I think it would be difficult to argue against ‘everything in its right place’ by Radiohead.
For one it sets the tone for the song in 4 notes. But not just the tone of the song, but the album as a whole and, with it, music as we know it. That is, of course, if you believe Kid A was a revolutionary album.

I agree.
Also, haters gonna hate. (RE: radiohead fans are the worst, next to Beatles fans, next to U2 fans, next to Pink Floyd fans, next to Led Zeppelin fans - basically the elitists can't accept any form of greatness from these bands because they have mass appeal and ignore the merits of their music). For me - I actually think those types of bands are the best - they have the aesthetic to be... what did I say about R.E.M. that might apply to most of those bands in different ways: "They have that bitter-sweet, pop yet anti-social aesthetic that I absolutely adore." idk- those who can walk that tight rope of pop, yet layers of real artistic/musical meaning usually get my vote... so long as they have the emotional depth, musical prowess, and mental tantalization to do so.
Squirrel!
As for Kid A being revolutionary - I agree at the level that it made "alternative rock" kids interested in other forms of music and imo is the main reason why alternative radio stations today can play electronic music. There was a time when "drum machines have no soul" was on the bumper sticker of every Radiohead fan (I never exaggerate).
Shining Star - Earth, Wind & Fire: A miniature masterpiece
Papa Was a Rolling Stone - Temptations: A song-length masterpiece
Gimme Shelter
Voodoo Child (Slight Return)
The Payback - James Brown
Theme From Shaft - Isaac Hayes
I Want You Back - Jackson 5
Maggot Brain - Funkadelic haha
Of course, many of the best rock ones have been listed already.
Golden Years - David Bowie: Example of when the intro's hands down the best part of the song

You gotta chill, man. Not to say that anything you said is wrong, but I think you’re getting too wrapped up in the infatuation with Radiohead on this site vs. the the hate for Radiohead that infatuation creates.
You seemed to get defensive about agreeing with my post, before any of the “haters” had the opportunity to call me names and what not.
It’s weird to say this on a site based on ranking music, but don’t worry so much about what others think. Your opinion is the only one that mattters. We chat about stuff, and it’s cool to find others that agree with us (it helps us to believe we might not be crazy). But, if someone disagrees with you, I promise they are wrong. They’re your headphones. Your ears. If you want to listen to Manic Monday by the Bengals every day, and believe that’s the greatest song ever, you’re absolutely right and no one can tell you different. Hell, I’ve probably listed to ‘All that she wants’ by ace of bass and ‘stupid girl’ by Garbage 10 times each in the past week. Does that make me bad at music?

Oh I suppose I was combining that post with the whole thread dedicated to Radiohead fans being the worst.
And you are right, I probably get caught up in things that don't matter.
And yes, nobody disagreed with you and I simply agreed with you and then went on a rant why.
It was just a rant - nothing more/nothing less. And my opinion is far from the only one that matters. Everyone's opinion matters. But not sharing my opinion I suppose defeats the whole purpose of a community thread and hearing other people's opinions, including the Britney Spears fans (heck, I've listened to at least 4 of her albums all the way through and actually like her femme fatale album.
And to be clear, I was speaking to those who think the bands I listed are basically the backstreet boys in any artistic aesthetic discussion. Not the Ace of Base fan. Nothing wrong with some good pop music. And nothing wrong with some experimental music. I suppose it's the devaluing of music "incorrectly" that probably gets on everyone's nerves.

Jokes. Thoughts. Chill.
Back to the thread - Nirvana's Smell's Like Teen Spirit intro used to pump up 10 year olds, but the better one was the Territorial Pissings intro - pretty funny.
Gangsta - Tune-Yards
Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden
Vincent - Car Seat Headrest
Gummy - Brockhampton
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - Black Sabbath
Raining Blood - Slayer
For Free? - Kendrick Lamar
