I decided concerning the last hour's stream not to rate anymore. There isn't less than a ten, in my opinion. Great!
I appreciate this for being highly original, but I don't enjoy it. Too much like hearing nails on a chalkboard.

Not without reason Brad Osborn Ph. D. music named his splendid work after this song title.
Somebody asked me to explain why I think this is so brilliant since, after all, the lyrics are dumb and the music boring. First, in a way they kind of reject the idea of lyrics being meaningful at all. Which, yaknow, so did Bach and Beethoven, so I don't think we need to worry about that one. Though I will say there is a nice mockery of the idea that lyrics have to be profound. They rarely are in rock I think we can all agree, even if there are lots of moments of lyrical brilliance it's not the point. Second, this person claimed that the music is repetitive. That one I kind of understand because IT IS repetitive. Intentionally. The musicality lies in taking that simple riff and mutiplying it in 100 different ways, through tone, modulation, rhythm, crescendo, and other stuff. There's a reason classical musicians are so crazy about Radiohead. If you put on your listening ears you will hear.

Lots to disagree with here. A religious composer like Bach by definition has to care about the lyrics -- you can start with St. Matthew Passion and the Mass in B Minor and work outward on that one. As for rock, if you are talking about "Louie, Louie," you are correct. If you are talking about "I am the Walrus," things get more complicated because the words don't mean much but Lennon is playing with words. Other songs have lyrics that are not clearly meaningful but are extremely evocative. But, and here's my mine point, I hope that everyone has noticed that the songs that get played on RP--for the most part--have extremely meaningful, intelligent lyrics. In fact, one of the many joys and benefits of listening to the music here is sitting down and actually reading the lyrics of a song I've known for many years but never understood. I plead guilty to mostly just knowing the words of the chorus--until I became an RP listener ("Tangled up in blue, Tangled up in blue, tangled up in blue.") It may be serendipity, but this semester in my Government class I typically stop mid-class and just read the lyrics to a song I've been playing on RP before and during class and there's always some kind of tie-in to what we're talking about (not because they're political but because they're about life).

Great music to view the annular eclipse here in Texas Hill country
The Moping Heads again and again and again on this station. I could just be listening to Radio Paradise in the background and when I start feeling depressed and suddenly in a foul mood I'll look up and sure enough it will be the Moping Heads. I have to thank them for one thing, they are the reason I don't own a gun. If I had one, I'd would probably shoot myself.

Rico - please remember it is not the job of art to make us comfortable. Sometimes it does- but a lot of great art takes us out of our comfort zone. Keep listening and the “cheese grater” can be a portal to a new world.
Do you think this worked well in 'Vanilla Sky' ?
God Awful noise...

Sorry fans, for me that's kinda annoying.
I think for those that struggle with this album (I did at fist) it is important to listen to it in the context of the previous 2 albums, The Benz and OK Computer (which I now think may be one of the greatest album trifectas in history). They evolved in front of our eyes (and ears) artistically from 90's Grunge to techno-prog-grunge to post-rock pseudo-avant-garde and it seems everyone else has just been trying to catch up ever since. It was Radiohead telling others it is ok NOT to be mainstream and take some chances in the name of honesty in art, and thankfully the fans supported it. I don't think anyone has taken a risk like that since, which is concerning because it means that the music industry has become so financially weakened it can no longer support the daring in art.

After OK Computer blew me away and became one of my all-time favorite albums, I was disappointed when Kid A came out. But as I've listened to it over the years it's grown on me. A lot.
Not sure how I feel about this. I can't say I enjoy it exactly but it is memorable and I don't fast forward through it.

Im just going to put this out there, Radiohead songs feel like an artificial intelligence struggling with self awareness.
People have stopped listening to albums. This was one song on a conceptual album so if you try to criticize it in a - one at a time/ American Bandstand dance rating mentality - well, then you and Dick Clark should get together and go bowling.

hard to tear myself away this evening with the past few artists : Ben Howard > The New Pornographers > Apocolyptica > Radiohead. This is why I have loved RP for the past 18 years and continue to support it monthly. You can't get a mix like that anywhere else. Thank you Bill and Rebecca.
Not sure if I like it but it is really interesting
Thrilled - just got pre-sale tickets to The Smile at Riviera Theatre in Chicago in December! (Bill still waiting on them showing up on RP..?!)

It took me longer to like this song than some of their others, but in my opinion, what they are doing with patterns of frequency and harmonics here -- and in so many of their works -- is passionately experimentally expressing their genius-level musical gifts, and I find that I'm highly inclined to celebrate and worship that dedicated, elevated kind of Artistry.

Counting to 10 all the time I wonder is it a 10/8- or a 10/4-stroke. Anyway, I love such songs with hidden secrets.
Now that's a beautiful transition from Fascination Street by The Cure to Radiohead's Everything in its right place, perfect blend from indie to alternative rock electronica.
One of the standout tracks on this great, consuming album

Radiohead are sort of out there in their own strange little branch of music. And for that I applaud them. They dare to be a bit different, and (paradoxically?) they became (very) commercially successful. They're not always my cup of tea, but for a big and commercially successful band, they do forge their own path and that has to be acknowledged. A solid 7 from me, because it evokes something even if it is (as others said) a wee bit repetitive and rests on its technical laurels rather than any artistic ones. But more power to them :)

Apparently sucking a lemon helps get your taste back post Covid....this track is still the height of taste!

Frank Zappa felt the same way about lyrics.
“I detest love lyrics. I think one of the causes of bad mental
health in the United States is that people have been raised on 'love
lyrics'.
You're a young kid and you hear all those 'love lyrics',
right? Your parents aren't telling you the truth about love, and you
can't really learn about it in school. You're getting the bulk of your
'behaviour norms' mapped out for you in the lyrics to some dumb fucking
love song. It's a subconscious training that creates desire for an
imaginary situation which will never exist for you. People who buy into
that mythology go through life feeling that they got cheated out of
something.
What I think is very cynical about some rock and roll
songs -- especially today -- is the way they say: "Let's make love."
What the <f-word> kind of wussy says shit like that in the real world? You
ought to be able to say "Let's go <f-word>", or at least "Let's go
fill-in-the-blank" -- but you gotta say "Let's make love" in order to
get on the radio. This creates a semantic corruption, by changing the
context in which the word 'love' is used in the song.
When they
get into drooling about love as a 'romantic concept' -- especially in
the lyrics of sensitive singer/songwriter types -- that's another shove
in the direction of bad mental health.
Fortunately, lyrics over
the last five or six years have gotten to be less and less important,
with 'art rock groups' and new wavers specializing in 'nonjudgemental'
or 'purposely inconsequential' lyrics. People have stopped listening to
the lyrics -- they are now only 'pitched mouth noises'.”

Kid A, was a bit difficult for me when it came out. Moon Shaped Pool however is one of the best albums I ever heard. I think they combined a lot of their previous experimentations.
Listening to Kid A after years, I enjoy it now. It needed a broader music ear I guess.

Keyboards are particularly cool in this song, reminds me of Pink Floyd's "One of My Turns" a little.

I once worked with a Stage Manager that played this song while setting up an incredibly complicated prop show while the sound designer played this song for her. It took long enough he looped the song 4 or 5 times. But always everything was in it's right place.
Unbelievable bad, crying like a baby.

I remember when this album came out. I had purchased it on release day. At first I was really taken aback by the completely different sound. This didn't sound like rock music! At the same time I did, and still do, find it captivating. On top of that, I appreciate Radiohead's courage in trying to reinvent themselves and not become repetitive.

How do we meet in the middle? Well this song is about someone with OCD and trapped in their own mind and the music tries to convey what it might feel like to be inside the head of that person. Claustrophobic, repetitive, relentless - I don't know but it must be awful.
So the subject matter might not be 'normal' and even I would not play it at a party but you got to hand it to RH for attempting such a thing.
In my system I give extra rating kudos for tackling the non-normal.

For the vinyl heads. This album was released in a double 12 inch 45 speed set. Stil available I do believe. If you like RH it might be one to put on the list. Go read the Wiki on how this set of music was put together, it is interesting.

I like electronic music alot. Also everything psychedelic but I never liked a radiohead song. Something about them that makes me unimpressed. Probably my fault

That must have been pretty weird for him to wake up sucking on a lemon.

my favourite in any version, feels like
this radio station is right for me😁
Really went downhill lately. Sad too. I loved the early stuff.
The latest addition to my "Chill Set," all inspired or due to my RP revelations, music-wise.

I like a lot of Radiohead, but this sucks. Ha
...never really listened to this album...does it need to be heard in context?

The 2Cellos cover of "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" right before this? Brilliant! 
The intro of this song is like a warm bath...

She once told me that you can't go for a day without some sort of Beatles reference, whether it be hearing a song of theirs or a song by one of the four individual members, or as a reference to them somehow, something, anything. It's amazing how close she is to being correct.
1954? me too
i'll bet you watched the Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964
we were normal the first 10 years of our lives

My first exposure to Radiohead was "Creep", played incessantly on the radio back in its day. So I dismissed them out of hand, only to see the light later, when I found RP.

This song is from the theme album of my divorce. Initially it makes me feel all creepy, as if someone is stalking me, wanting to kill me. Hey, WAIT- there is actually someone out there who wants to kill me!

Oy!!
Definitely one of their best efforts...if you don't absolutely hate Radiohead.
YES 
Somebody asked me to explain why I think this is so brilliant since, after all, the lyrics are dumb and the music boring. First, in a way they kind of reject the idea of lyrics being meaningful at all. Which, yaknow, so did Bach and Beethoven, so I don't think we need to worry about that one. Though I will say there is a nice mockery of the idea that lyrics have to be profound. They rarely are in rock I think we can all agree, even if there are lots of moments of lyrical brilliance it's not the point. Second, this person claimed that the music is repetitive. That one I kind of understand because IT IS repetitive. Intentionally. The musicality lies in taking that simple riff and mutiplying it in 100 different ways, through tone, modulation, rhythm, crescendo, and other stuff. There's a reason classical musicians are so crazy about Radiohead. If you put on your listening ears you will hear.
I love this and I happen to think the lyrics are deeply moving as they neatly express a state of mind which, if you've not experienced it, I hope you never do. It's just good to know you're not the only one.
