I mean it's all right, but it's clearly not in the top 5 from OKC is it? 

I agree. I'm baffled by the love for it on here. Is it a fan favourite on other radiohead forums I wonder?

Climbing up the walls, Lucky, exit music, paranoid and airbag all better imo.

Tbh I didn't realise there was that much love for it until I posted on here about it being my favourite Radiohead song and everyone agreeing.

How can Let Down not be in the top 5 OKC tracks?

 

Which 5 are better?

[FloorFiller]

Every time I go in to listening to Let Down I think to myself 'Maybe this time I'll get bored of it and/or it won't seem as good as it has in the past' but every time I find myself floored by it. So good. It does seem to be a case of people either holding it up there as one of their absolute bests or not thinking too much of it at all though.

Russy just said his 5. It's all subjective right?

It's my personal favourite on the album. Ranking the best to worst excluding Fitter Happier, I'd say:

 

1. Let Down

2. Climbing up the Walls

3. Paranoid Android

4. Exit Music

5. No Surprises

6. Lucky

7. Airbag

8. Karma Police

9. Subterranean Homesick Alien

10. Electioneering

11. The Tourist

Listening to Let Down as I coincidentally end up on this thread. Probably my high point of OKC - and I think the one track I'd want from the record at Glastonbury.

There's a thought, if you could be guaranteed one an album for Glasto, which ones?

We've already done this exact game

But anuway:

Creep

The Bends

Let Down

How to Disappear Completely

Pyramid Song

2+2=5

Jigsaw Falling Into Place

Codex

Present Tense

 

Jigsaw would be replaced by Weird Fishes but I've seen it twice. Codex vs Lotus Flower was difficult - Lotus Flower is very good live and is a tune, but Codex is just brilliant.

[jparx]

You

The Bends

Lucky

Motion Picture Soundtrack

Like Spinning Plates

Myxomatosis

Reckoner

Lotus Flower

True Love Waits

For me:

1. Lucky
2. Airbag
3. Climbing Up The Walls
4. Paranoid Android
5. No Surprises

I love Let Down, possibly my favorite Radiohead song, but I have little interest in seeing it live. Unless they clone Thom or get Micheal Eavis to sing the extra voice bit.

I'm with you 100% on this post. Thom doesn't just do backing vocals, he does a proper dual lead, where the lead vocal swaps over. Can't be done live properly.

I've not gone through the whole list, competition is tough, but I'd definitely put The Tourist (and Fitter Happier) above Electioneering. And Climbing Up The Walls. And maybe even No Surprises and Subterranean Homesick Alien. And some others, perhaps.

The Tourist is great!

You know me Will, I'm just a bit gormless  

Creep, Fake Plastic Trees, Let Down, Idioteque, Pyramid Song, There There, Bodysnatchers, Give Up the Ghost, Burn the Witch (with full strings)/True Love Waits.

I'll have that!

[Gucci Piggy]

1. Let Down

2. Paranoid Android

3. Lucky

4. Airbag

5. Exit Music (For a Film)

6. Climbing up the Walls

7. No Surprises

8. Karma Police

9. The Tourist

10. Subterranean Homesick Alien

11. Fitter Happier

12. Swans

13. Electioneering 

 

2-5 are entirely interchangeable tbh. Lucky was never up there for me but it's been storming up my rankings whilst I've been giving OKC a lot of listens lately.

Give up the Ghost is a leftfield pick for someone saying he just wants to hear Fake Plastic Trees and Creep

TKOL songs were amazing on the 2012 arena tour (highlights of the show) but I don't want them at Glasto. They can play em on the arena tour but Lotus Flower is the only one that deserves a place on the Glasto setlist imo.

Having said the above I'd probably change my TKOL choice to Lotus Flower and hope for Codex at the Manchester dates instead.

Lucky and Airbag are my top too also. They interchange often. But they're top two. The rest is a mix, Let Down and Paranoid Android would be 3rd and 4th interchangeable but I couldn't decide on the rest.

Good work on having no surprises so low down the ranking. I'm not a fan of it at all really (in comparison to their other songs I mean, obviously it's better than anything most bands could dream of composing)
