DEEP DISCOG DIVE: Radiohead 

One quick correction: unless the band is capable of time travel, "True Love Waits" did not wait 50 years to have a studio recording. It was actually 20 years. Thanks everyone for watching!

Garfield Honey The Mondays OK Lasagna Kid O Hail to the Davis In Lizbows The King of Lasagna A Moon Shaped Lasagna

12:34 1955. Exactly. Radiohead is so good, they existed before they were even created.

Finally - someone that doesn’t call Amnesiac a Kid A b-side album.

The name is actually from the Talking Head’s song “Radio Head”

Mic should prove his ability to truly dive deeply into discography by doing David Bowie

12:33 Hang on, "True Love Waits had been in their catalogue since 1955"?

'A Moon Shaped Pool' will be considered one of their best albums in due time. A masterpiece.

12:31 True Love does wait more than 50 years.

The Brian David Gilbert insert is much appreciated

Wait didn’t Radiohead get their name from a talking heads song?

This is one of the best music related videos I’ve ever watched

Weird Fishes / Arpeggi is absolutely in my top 5 songs ever, what a tune 💓

Fun fact I learnt from Thom's Desert Island Disc (the radio show not the song) apparently while in Sixth Form (Age 16-18 education in UK) Thom entered a songwriting competition, though not fully confident on his own, he also asked Ed to attach his name to it, and lo and behold he won and was offered a record contract which he declined because he felt he wasn't ready and instead wanted to go to university. Wow, this man really does take perverse pleasure in saying f**k you to this decaying business model.

So glad to see some love for MSP, I feel like I’m taking crazy pills when I tell people how much I love that record

|RADIOHEAD 9 ALBUMS TIMESTAMPS| Palbo honey: 1:55 The Bends: 3:47 Ok computer: 5:23 Kid A: 8:08 Amnesiac: 10:55 Hail To The Thief: 12:20 In Rainbows: 14:38 King Of Limbs: 17:33 A Moon shaped Pool: 19:40

1. You 2. Can't 3. Rank 4. Them 5. Because 6. They're 7. All 8. Amazing 9. Pablo honey

In Rainbows makes me feel things I cannot explain, it's my all time favourite album ever and I can never tire of it.

I actually got into Radiohead because I have followed and loved Jonny Greenwood’s film scores for years, and to me he’s the best working composer we have outside of maybe John Williams and Hans Zimmer.

I know Radiohead has this stigma of being a fake indie hipster band, but I can't even describe how much I love this band. Their music shaped me through my high school years (which is why I spent most of them depressed lol) but I don't really regret it at all. They're easily my favorite band of all time and I'm not embarrassed to say that

Hopefully we got Emenim. I want to hear him talk about some awful albums

you deserve a grammy for the 'A Kid' joke

The King of Limbs is an amazing album and Separator one of the best songs ever.

Wait Are these the guys who did creep

love that you started the video with Everything in it’s right Place. Those intro keys are pure gold

‘Feels like getting a warm hug from a nuclear blast.” How is this level of writing just casually dropped in a video about Radiohead???! SO GOOD

OK Computer came out when I was 16 and goddamn was it ever a good time to be 16, it was mind-blowing and transformative. Completely changed my life. Still my favourite album of all time. I even got to see them front row center in a small venue for that tour.

How could you NOT peak in college if you were a part of that marching band 15 Steps performance at the Grammys? Hell I'd take that peak any day.

How To Disappear Completely is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard

Bruh when we getting that Limp Bizkit deep dive.

The king of limbs is painfully underrated imo I really love that record

Would love to see any of the following groups get a Deep Discog Dive -QOTSA (I'm also down for an installment about Kyuss) -Muse -Nine Inch Nails -Porcupine Tree -The Police -Spoon -Swans -Melvins

Our boy is back with "Radiohead"?! My man

I absolutely love The King of Limbs. Maybe I drank the Kool-Aid, but I think it’s great. Bloom, Codex, Give Up the Ghost, and Separator are all fantastic RH songs if you ask me.

People who don't like King of Limbs didn't watch the from the basement sessions. When KOL came out people were all "It's all loops where's the band?" And when you watch all 5 members plus the 6th member all performing it together and everyone in the pocket with their own instruments shows how cohesive the band can be. The fact that all 6 members can perform it and you question where's the band shows how amazing they are playing together.

Wait a second.... True love waits has been in their catalog since 1955?!?!

Honestly the king of limbs is an underrated album. And if you listen to the basement version of the album, it enhances the experience. (The basement version of TKOL is really really good though)

How To Disappear Completely completely changed my life. Radiohead’s music should be studied in uni’s.

Radiohead’s cameo on South Park might be the best thing they’ve done.

Reckoner from In Rainbows is hauntingly beautiful. The song is a masterpiece.

The in the basement version of king of limbs is awesome

The Bends is probably my favourite album from them and one of the best ever.

Man I wish people picked things that there isn't always a disgusting amount of discussion about, I just really want a deep dive into they might be giants

No! King of Limbs is insane.

Does someone else find "pyramid song" "pulk/pull revolving doors" combo really addictive?

lovin the kisscartoon watermark in the intro

I keep coming back to Spectre. Such a good tune

3:57 so Thom wakes up sucking on lemons and Ed wakes up sucking on guitar picks? That's all you need to understand this band

I heard Radiohead for the first time this year, started with MSP, because the album art was so so cool, and also cuz I didn't know of Radiohead or their best albums or anything....so the name of the band meant nothing to me really. But, best believe when I tell you, that rainy night's droning with just a lone streetlight shining onto my front yard, giving everything I could see a sorta silver lining, while listening to this oh so serene and beautiful album is one the most magical musical experiences I've ever had.

The King of Limbs is amazing. Please don't campare it to Pablo Honey. Never.

This was awesome. I'd love to see you explore Bjork's discography :D

Never understood why people hate King of Limbs. It’s one of my favourite Radiohead albums.

One day, I’ll hear a review that gives The King of Limbs the love it deserves

Next we need a Wilco DDD

Weird Fishes is easily my favourite Radiohead song, personally OKC is my favourite album from them since it opened my eyes to other stuff that's out there musically

I was around when Pablo Honey was first released and can say that it had a really good following in the scene that I was into. Though it was not the hit in the mainstream that later albums would prove to be... lots of people LOVED it.

the more i listen to King of Limbs the more i fall in love with it.

King of the Limbs has Codex and Bloom, two tracks anyone would be proud to even think up.

Mic should truly challenge himself and do a Deep Discog Dive on Frank Zappa Or better yet,,, *Viper*

It’s gonna be a while until he does Tom Waits huh?

I'm so happy you love Kid A too! That was my window into Radiohead, and it's still the only Radiohead album I love in its entirety.

garfield kinda thicc in this one. keep it up homie

I love King of Limbs more than most people It's a beautiful album with chill Autumn vibes. I adore it. Desert Island Disk and The Numbers were also heard before the album released. And as old as Burn the Witch was, we never heard anything from it till it released Daydreaming, Decks Dark, Glass Eyes and Tinker Tailor are the only songs that were brand new

"Unless 2020 loops in on itself and we're stuck living the same year over and over again." Yeah, about that.

19:35 the king of limbs was actually the first album i heard from radiohead and after being intrigued with Lotus Flower and Feral, i've been loving their work since

Oh I love King of Limbs!! It’s one of my favourite from them

I am so happy I found this channel. You & Fantano are my favs when it comes to reviews! 🙌

I’d love to see a redux of this video now, the Deep Discog Dive goes so much more in depth now and I’d love to see that level of detail given to this discography

Let's appreciate that this man makes the entire video interesting, fun and immersive

“I wanna get my vows in the ballroom where they recorded Let Down.” Brilliant, just brilliant.

I’ve enjoyed every single video you’ve made thank you for your service

Love your videos and sense of humour. Always gives me a very enjoyable experience! Very informative too.

That intro did something strange to my mind and I deeply enjoyed it. I don't understand the cool reception for TKOL though - Bloom, Lotus Flower, Codex, Give Up The Ghost, and Separator are all Kid A/In Rainbows-level brilliant to me. That's 5 out of 8 and given that it's Radiohead I will probably come around on the other 3 at some point in my life.

Am I the only one who really wants to marry mic? like i just think he would be such a great husband and our first dance could be to crazy frog. Just a thought i had

I really don’t get the disregard for King of Limbs. It is my favorite Radiohead album. It is very much to In Rainbows as Insomniacnis the Kid A in feel. I add the Daily Mail to my album playlist to lengthennitnout as it is a brief album. But every track is great. Yea. Every track. If I’m going to get into Radiohead, this is where I start. Every time. Under appreciated masterpiece.

Brilliant band. They’ve never topped OK Computer, but they still have the best discography in rock music.

Pablo Honey was my introduction to Radiohead and I don't regret it

Would love to see the band Foals added to the deep discog dive poll list

Mic, this is the best series on your channel and you are great at creating it.

My favorite band of all time, and you did them justice and did your due diligence with this, thank you. I will now check out more of your videos! You should feel privileged to have my attention! DONT mess up

A lot of people think Amnesiac is one of their worst albums but when it really clicks, it’s good. It has a scary, claustrophobic feel, more than Kid A, and it stands on its own.

King Of Limbs is awesome from the basement and Radiohead has a lot of really good, and even a number of great b-sides.

I know I'm late I just found your channel I have been binge-watching for like 4 hours I love the enthusiasm when you talk about Radiohead as a fellow Radiohead fan thank you great video

Mic, the time and effort you put into editing really shows. It makes it nearly impossible to look away from the screen. I just thought that is something that you really need to know! Thank you for the public service you perform by making these.

Hahah, King of Limbs *actually was* the first Radiohead album I listened to! I had absolutely no clue that it was "their worst" or whatever, I was 16 years old and listened to some pretty bad music; Kind of Limbs was a masterpiece in comparison. So I'll always have a soft spot for it. Loving your deep discog dives, though! Massive Attack next, perhaps?

When I had the flu last year, I spent a lot of time lying in bed, tired and loopy from the pain, listening to Kid A. It kind of enhanced the experience, NGL.

I've been waiting for this for a long time and the video difinitely delivered! Also we have the same two favourites which was nice to hear

I know your thing was kind of the short quick reviews, but I really love the more substantial format of the ddd that’s your doing now, this one was great and they keep getting better

Just chiming in to say that The King of Limbs was actually the album that got me to creating music of my own - the loop-based approach made making music at home on my laptop seem like a possibility and the complex/messy sounding rhythms really excited me to try something similar. I was definitely already aware of Radiohead & on the Radiohead train when I heard it, so it wasn't my first album by them or anything but it definitely has a special place in my heart!

Great video. Here is my rating of their albums from worst to best ranking for anyone who cares to have a wee read. :) 9 - Pablo Honey:- Still a good album, just nothing special considering what the band would later create. 8 - Hail to the Thief:- Great album but sometimes feels almost a product of it's time which is strange for Radiohead. 7 - Amnesiac:- Falls slightly short of Kid A for me but not the unfinished mess some critics would have you believe. 6 - The Kind of Limbs:- I can understand why people think this is their weakest, but after listening to their basement session of this album, I find it to be a genuinely strong album. The track Bloom is what anxiety feels like in audio form, feels like a shoe string is holding the track together. 5 - Kid A:- My most controversial opinion being that Kid A is not in the top 3. I still love and adore this album, it's just not one that I have on repeat, unlike the next 4 albums. It did absolutely push the band forward and is an essential part of the bands growth. It's one I don't listen to as often as others but it works best with breathing room between listens. 4 - The Bends:- I find The Bends to be under-rated amongst fans. To me it improves upon Pablo Honey massively and is probably the easiest album for newcomers to the band. It's maybe my most listened to Radiohead record because sometimes it's easy to listen to what is sometimes considered to be "generic alt rock". Fake Plastic Trees was the first Radiohead song I think I ever heard so it stands out to me for that reason. 3 - A Moon Shaped Pool:- Probably one of the most depressing albums ever created but also sounds like what grief can sound like. I understand that it can sometimes sound a little broody but there are some incredibly beautiful sounds on here. It's hard to recommend to newcomers but as a certified sad boi, I adore it and it used to be my number 2. 2 - In Rainbows:- Just simply gorgeous. Another good one to recommend to newcomers as the album has a lot of pleasant pop melodies. The track Nude has to be in my top 5 songs by the band. They also have a "live from the basement" recording of the album and is somehow even better than the record. Really shows the band as one of the tightest sounding bands of all time. 1 - OK Computer:- There's literally nothing I can say that hasn't already been said. Part of me is a little pissed off that this is my favourite album and that I don't have a more "interesting" number 1, but let that be a testament to this albums incredible long-lasting appeal and greatness. My favourite Song is hard to pick because the whole album is great song after great song. No Surprises maybe makes it as my favourite Radiohead song but it's close.

Beautiful work here, well done!

truly the only band that could inspire me to watch all of the videos in the description. 10/10

“If you came up to me in 1993 and said these guys would make in rainbows I’d say nothing I wasn’t born yet” XD actually made me laugh for a good 20 sec

i’ve been putting off listening to radiohead for so long smh

the live in solo recording of true love waits is very special to me. i love the studio version but something about the guitar is so raw and emotional. it makes me feel like my heart is filled up and spilling over

I've watched a few of your videos the last couple of days and think you're awesome!

In Rainbows is my favorite Radiohead album, probably because I’m a pop/r&b fan at heart and that one kickstarted my Radiohead fandom. That’s the one you gotta recommend to casual fans to pull them in :)

the glee creep cover is like peak music

CAN I JUST SAY... i have had such a resistance to liking or even listening to radiohead since i can remember even if they directly inspired some of my absolute favorite bands, but the way you talk about music makes almost everything sound incredibly appealing and Great that im giving them another shot but this time im EXCITED about it. like, the respect and analysis you have/put into what you talk about is so inspiring & nice to see.

Fell in love with There There and Lotus since I heard them for the first time Them and Pyramid Song are my three favourites from Radiohead. Hail To The Theif is my favourite album from them though
