The Bends: Fake Plastic Trees OK Computer: Paranoid Android (it's what got me into them way back when) Kid A: The National Anthem, except Idioteque if I'm choosing live music Amnesiac: Pyramid Song Hail to the Thief: my favorite album, it's so hard to pick. But, gun to my head... A Wolf at the Door In Rainbows: Jigsaw Falling Into Place King of Limbs: Little by Little
I think it speaks volumes for how good Radiohead is that everyone comes up with a different list for favorite songs. Also, that I find myself nodding my head and saying "Oh yea, I can totally see how this person thinks (Insert song name) is the best off that album!".
Yeah, I've been doing the same. Every song is the best song on a Radiohead album.

I guess I should give my answers since it was my idea on the headliner thread that was stolen! Just kidding
Pablo honey - creep The bends - black star Ok computer - paranoid android Kid a - national anthem (although if you include the string quartet version of motion picture soundtrack I would choose that because it was the main song in my wedding ceremony) Amnesiac - pyramid song Hail to the thief - there there (it used to be scatter brain) In rainbows - arpeggi (all I need live from in the basement is unbelievable) The king of limbs - codex

I have a few edits now that I am home and around a computer to look at the tracklisting.
The Bends - Nice Dream. I had forgotten about this! Hail to the Thief - still There There, but forgot about Sail to the Moon! what a close second, omg In Rainbows - All I Need. Song is just too good. Whole album is perfect.
God, revisiting the tracklists of these albums makes me piss out of my ass thinking about seeing them in March and probably at Bonnaroo
The Bends - Street Spirit OK Computer - Exit Music Kid A - How To Disappear Completely Amnesiac - Pyramid Song Hail To The Thief - The Gloaming In Rainbows - Reckoner King Of Limbs - Codex

I wasn't at Roo in 2006 or Glastonbury ever, but Radiohead's Glastonbury footage is getting me more hype about Roo this than the Roo footage.
Well, obviously the pro shot footage is going to be more exciting. But, I have both shows on DVD and while the Glastonbury has the benefit of pro shot... the Bonnaroo show was clearly better, just going by performance. I mean, the Glastonbury show wasn't even an hour and a half long, the Bonnaroo set was one of their longest up until that point. Also, it's no myth that the guys themselves considered Bonnaroo 2006 one of (if not the) best shows they ever did.

Like I have said before I am not actually a huge Radiohead fan, but that show in 06 is certainly in my top 5 shows ever.

I have to shamefully admit to never really listening to Radiohead at all, outside of their major hits. But when insider confirmed them I decided to start with In Rainbows, because it seemed to be a board favorite. Wow. I am ashamed of what I've been missing all these years. I listened to King of Limbs once too, but I need to listen to it a few more times. Where do I go from here?
This is the first message board I've ever been on, the only reason I joined is because I love Bonnaroo and wanted to read and talk about it all year long.

just listen to "The National Anthem" off of Kid A on repeat until you start crying.
please note it does NOT matter what emotions cause the crying. all that matters is the tears.

IMO, if you are JUST cracking open Radiohead's catalog, start with these four albums: The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A, and In Rainbows. I see you've given In Rainbows a go, but you really CAN'T go wrong with Bends/OKC/Kid A

What is yall's favorite Radiohead bootleg live recording?
I am extremely partial to Berlin 2000, the Kid A is phenomenal, with Jonny on harmonica and Thom on vocals. Absolutely mesmerizing. If anyone is partial to earlier recordings I suggest Toronto 1995 as a nice benchmark.

I'd say it's a tie between Paris 2001 and Glastonbury 03, although Glastonbury 97 is quite nice too. The HTDC from Paris with the orchestra of Ondes Martenots is chilling
