It speaks volumes that even the top 20 songs don't cover close to how many perfect songs Radiohead has. Some say they are overrated, I say they deserve every bit of praise they get.

What's with all the hate for "pablo honey"? That album was my introduction to the band and still one of my favorites. Also why is "Creep" not among their top 20 best tracks? Perhaps it says more about me than the credibility of this website, but "Creep" is my all-time favorite Radiohead composition.

Radiohead's fine. I think they make pretty good music and are a respectable band. Instrumentally they are fantastic. Vocally, they are 50/50 for me. Sometimes Tom's falsetto works in some of the music, and other times I feel like Tom's vocals take away from the music. Lyrically, I don't personally care for some of their lyrics. I find some of the lyrics to be too drifty and vague at points. I personally listen to them for their overall sound. One flaw with some of their songs is that they tend to seem monotonous and slow at some points. For the most part, though, I find their music very interesting and pleasant to listen to. Overall, I'd say that they are a very talented group. However, I feel like I've gotten more enjoyment/pleasure from listening to other music groups. I own nearly all of Radiohead's music yet hardly listen to them anymore now. That's not to say I dislike them currently, but I do think you have to be in the mood for them. Even when I am in the mood for them, their music doesn't wow me quite as other music does. I won't use the overrated word, but for me personally, I just can't say that they are the best band of all time. I don't exactly have a group that I think is the best anyway, because my music taste changes quite a bit. Although, if I did have a band that I felt was the BEST, Radiohead wouldn't be said group. That's just my opinion folks. As for my list, these are based on how much enjoyment I got out of each album. I prefer some of their more experimental and weird stuff:

1. Kid A
2. Amnesiac
3. Hail to the Thief
4. In Rainbows
5. Pablo Honey
6. OK Computer
7. The Bends
8. A Moon Shaped Pool
9. The King of Limbs

I'm completely fed up with radiohead ... I can not stand thom yorke's falsets anymore ... did not stand the test of time

Not to sound pretentious and dismissive, but they're...average. For my tastes, this is better than other pedestal'd alternative artists like Arcade Fire, but nowhere near the same league as alternative greats like The Smiths, Joy Division, and even Neutral Milk Hotel/Flaming Lips.

I'm afraid to post what I really think of Radiohead on here because everyone who has mixed feelings about them immediately gets downvoted on this site. Some people are entitled to not love something more than others, okay?!!!?

That being said, I was very hesitant to get into this band because I didn't understand the hype and thought they were wrongly categorized in alternative rock since they're very 'out there'. I still think some albums should fall more under psychedelic rock or indie-electronic, but I'll admit that they have some solid alt-rock within their art.

At this point, I've only listened to four of their albums (Started with In Rainbows, then The Bends, OK Computer, and Kid A). I felt the four albums would provide me with enough variety and thesis to make an informed decision.

I really enjoyed OK Computer and In Rainbows upon first listen and have favorite songs solidified in my head upon further listens. I want to listen to The Bends again to put it in a "before-OK" mentality. However, I think Kid A is overrated. I understand the electronic/synth/artsy-sound wasn't popular at the time and this album bridged it with rock, but it is so hard to grab onto. I enjoy How to Disappear Completely, Optimistic, and Morning Bell, but I just felt the rest was meh though layered nicely. Still, after multiple listens, I really don't like that this is "the album of the 2000s". I feel that Rolling Stone (who, may I remind everyone, gave this 4/5 stars) and Pitchfork are wrong giving this album that moniker. I think Is This It?, Everything You Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, or Sound of Silver are better albums to define the 2000s.

Radiohead is definitely not garbage, but I will say that some of their stuff is overhyped (especially on this site) and they do have some low points in their great albums. That being said, the art-rock genre should clearly be led by them and I respect most of what they do.

Favorite songs so far are:

Weird Fishes/Arpeggi

Airbag

Electioneering

Karma Police

Let Down

Bodysnatchers

Do not downvote me for having an opinion. Just because you don't agree with me doesn't mean my opinion should be considered unhelpful.

Best Band of all time.

1. Ok Computer
2. Kid A
3. Amnesiac
4. In Rainbows
5. The Bends

Radiohead is band you can't just casually listen too. You need to focus and pay attention to the music and lyrics. I didn't the first listen, and I disliked them. I did the second and they're now one of my all-time favourite bands.
