'Treefingers' > 'Idioteque'. Couldn't be arsed to find an appropriate thread, and it seemed to fit here (sort of).


Now you just be trolling. You're gonna wake up Kidamnesiac.

I'm being deadly serious. I'm currently listening to Kid A, and I prefer 'Treefingers' to 'Idioteque'. I don't understand the hate 'Treefingers' gets at all, it's one of the most beautiful moments on the album.

I'm only half serious. I think Ideoteque might be their best song, at least in the live setting, but I really do long Treefingers too.

Treefingers is a great song, and is better than In Limbo, Optimistic, Morning Bell and Motion Picture Soundtrack, but it sure isn't better than Idioteque- possibly Radiohead's best song.

As soon as that was said, I immediately went to this video:

Treefingers used to be my least favorite part of Kid A, but I can certainly tolerate it now. It's like the essence of what Kid A is - it's the standard sound of the album with everything else filtered away. In that regard it's like the definition of consistency. The real low point of Kid A is Morning Bell, which sounds way better on Amnesiac and just out of place here.

Also Out of Time is clearly REM's second best; Country Feedback makes up for all the filler itself.
