I just want to point out that the reason True Love Waits is so low is because I can’t relate to it. I am quite young and have never gone through any major heartbreak, I’m sure I will relate to it someday though.
I think that's entirely fair, but personally there are times where I can just feel the song. I'm sure I'd feel it more if I had gone through heartbreak, but the song still is one of Radiohead's most overtly melancholic songs, so it still hits the spot sometimes
Got to be 'The Tourist' for me. After everything that has gone before it on OK Computer, it just feels like a slow exhalation of either relief or resignation. May not be the best track of those that finish the albums, but for me, it is the most appropriate and effective.
Motion picture soundtrack is a masterpiece and my personal favorite closer too. For me it ties the entire album together and cements Kid A as a masterpiece. It feels like reflecting on every emotion and experience that the other tracks on the album portray and finding some sort of acceptance and solace.

Shocked I don’t see many people saying Videotape. I love music but it’s never pushed me to the point of crying yet like it has for many people (granted, I haven’t been exploring music for that long). I listened to In Rainbows the other day, thought it was a really solid album as I went through it, then I hit Videotape and I wanted to cry with happiness and sadness. Absolutely incredible track.

It might be better to rank them based off how they compliment the record and serve as an appropriate closing track for each project, not just the songs themselves.
It probably would but I didn’t think of that before I uploaded the Radiohead openings video and I just want to keep the criteria consistent now. Thanks for the idea though, I appreciate it

yea i appreciate your opinion, pretty solid ranking here’s mine: 9. blow out (my favourite from pablo honey too) 8. life in a glasshouse (great song, but i listen to it not so often) 7. street spirit (maybe i just don’t get this song totally) 6. motion picture soundtrack (in right mood, this song slaps) 5. the tourist (very relaxing song for me) 4. videotape (i really love live in bonnaroo version) 3. a wolf at the door (one of the most unique songs i’ve ever heard) 2. separator (this song slaps whatever your mood especially from the basement version) 1. true love waits (my top 2 radiohead song so far, this song is so beautiful, powerful and heartbreaking that it’s hard to listen to it sometimes)

The Tourist is my favourite Radiohead closer and just my favourite Radiohead song in general. I've been very stressed for a while now but every time I listen to that song, I feel like I can just relax and take a break from everything. The solo at the end is one of my favourite moments in music as a whole as well.
I think all of Radiohead’s album closers are amazing, but I’m still going to try to rank them based on my personal opinion anyways. #1: Street Spirit (Fade Out) - The Bends - 9.5/10 #2: The Tourist - OK Computer - 9/10 #3: Motion Picture Soundtrack- Kid A - 8.5/10 #4: Life in a Glasshouse - Amnesiac - 8/10 #5: Videotape - In Rainbows - 8/10 #6: True Love Waits - A Moon Shaped Pool - 8/10 #7: A Wolf at the Door - Hail to the Thief - 7.5/10 #8: Separator - The King of Limbs - 7/10 #9: Blow Out - Pablo Honey - 7/10

My own list is almost entirely different, but A Wolf at the Door. was on repeat right when I was getting into Radiohead... I know there are no bad closing tracks, but seeing True Love Waits so low triggered me, lol
Honestly, my top three are basically interchangeable - they hit so damn hard! 1. The Tourist 2. Motion Picture Soundtrack 3. Videotape 4. Street Spirit (Fade Out) 5. Life in a Glasshouse 6. Wolf at the Door 7. Separator 8. Blow Out 9. True Love Waits

Ok Computer is such an experience to listen too. Its emotions very so much throughout the album, like you just crossed an entire continent of yourself. The Tourist is Thom's final message to the listener. Slow down. It is so incredibly beautiful and the best closer to an album of all time.
My list: 1- Separator 2- Videotape 3- Life in a Glasshouse 4- Blow Out 5- Street Spirit 6- Motion Picture Soundtrack 7- A Wolf At The Door 8- True Love Waits 9- The Tourist (I know, I know... It's just really difficult to rate them, and it's mostly personal taste)

My God it's so great you put Motion Picture Soundtrack at number 1. Frankly, the outro from Morning Bell with the pause that leads into MPS is my favorite listen of any album. And I must say I do not interpret MPS as any sort of a suicide note. In short, it's about a lonely and sad man reflecting on the once love of his life.
That's good you don't either, I know some people do....dude, have you seen the video yet of one guy talking about measuring the saddest Radiohead songs in terms of science? Lol. Geez! The video made absolutely no sense to me, and even some of the examples the ones near the top made no sense to me. How about someone do a video about the saddest Radiohead songs from a personal level (words, feeling of the sound) and leave science out of it haha....for me, just completely from the top of my head, I might say "I Will" is the saddest Radiohead song.@@Minnepopin
Yeah I have seen that video and some of the placements don’t make any sense to me either, especially Give Up The Ghost being so low. I know it’s cliche because it’s one of their more popular songs but No Surprises always gets me because it’s sad and also very nostalgic to me and sad nostalgia just always hits me in the gut.
I agree that No Surprises is way up there near the top, because that song is about an every day life kinda sadness just going through the motions@@Minnepopin

My ranking: 9. True Love Waits 8. Blow Out 7. The Tourist 6. Motion Picture Soundtrack 5. Videotape 4. Separator 3. Life In A Glass House 2. A Wolf At The Door 1. Street Spirit But tbh I love all of these.
Nice vid, my ranking: 1 Videotape (Just Fantastic) 2 Street Spirit (First Radiohead album I listened to, and just a great song in general) 3 The Tourist (One of the best on OK Computer, the best Radiohead album) 4 A Wolf at the Door (So unique, also just eerie as you said) 5 True Love Waits (Only the concert version) 6 Motion Picture Soundtrack (Don't listen to much Kid A) 7 Life in a Glass House (I like it, but others are much better) 8 Blow Out (Hurts to put it so low) 9 Separator (Never listened to King of Limbs)
I’m foaming at the mouth rn. Go listen to TKOL. Seperator is best closer and one of my favorite Radiohead songs. The whole album is freaking good and the whole dark and eerie tone ends with something more upbeat and it is perfect. Go listen to it, I do reccomend
King of Limbs is good. Its worth listening to at least once. Morning Mr Magpie is my favorite track off of it. That said, I rank it #9 out of their 9 studio albums. It definitely gets the least listens of our their albums from year to year. But Im old and that likely plays a role.
Mine would be: 1. True Love Waits 2. Motion Picture Soundtrack 3. Street spirit (fade out) 4. Wolf at the door 5. Blow Out 6. Life in a glasshouse 7. Separator 8. Videotape 9. The Tourist
for me, "videotape" is my favorite closer, for the fact that it feels like a grand finale, a goodbye, and a damn good swansong for the album. Although I feel "street spirit" and "motion picture soundtrack" also achieve similar feelings
9- Life in a Glasshouse (top 5 worst tracks on their discography, one of their very few failed experimentations imo) 8- True Love Waits (a pale reversion of a great and shattering old track of theirs) 7- Videotape (never been a big fan of this, albeit very nice, glorified-Coldplay closer, sorry) 6- Blow Out (runner up for the best track on PH, it could have been even better if recorded at the more mature The Bends stage of the band's career) 5- Motion Picture Soundtrack (great and very appropiate closer to Kid A, high emotional point, its hidden moment is a little treasure) 4- Separator (wildly underrated gem, closes KoL on a epic note, from the Basement showed its even greater potential) 3- The Tourist (couldn't imagine a more appropiate closing to the towering album that OKC is than this owerhelming final step of the whole journey) 2- A Wolf at the Door (one of their most underrated masterpieces, pure genius including one of the most amazing choruses Mr. Yorke has penned) 1- Street Spirit (one of their crowning achievements, and among the best songs ever, nuff said)
I enjoy a wolf at the door quite a bit, but honestly as a closer it's one of the lower quality ones from radiohead imo. my top 5 without exact order would be life in a glasshouse, the tourist, motion picture soundtrack, street spirit and true love waits (the first 3 are better than the last 2) and honestly videotape would rank much higher if it didn't have that end section where the instrumental just keeps going on for 1:30 minutes without changing, I said it lol

Mine would be: 1. The Tourist 2. Videotape 3. True Love Waits 4. Life in a Glass House 5. Motion Picture Soundtrack 6. Wolf at the Door 7. Separator 8. Street Sprit 9. Blow Out
There are no bad choices. In my opinion, all these songs are good, but there are some that I like better. REPEAT--THEY ARE ALL GOOD. 9. Separator. Fitting. The song is ‘fine’ but I dont crave listening to it that much. KoL is also my lowest rated album; but then again I’ve been a fan since 1993. The song does match the album. 8. True Love Waits (their earlier guitar version is better, but this version matches the Album quite well. 7. A Wolf at the Door. I get why people love this song, but its not in my top-50 Radiohead songs. It matches the political theme of the album though. I think Sail to the Moon seemed more of a closer. 6. Life in a Glass House. I’ll probably get heat for this, I just think its a bit of an odd fit for the album in general, much more so as a closer, though it is all very experimental. 5. Videotape. Good song. Can’t put it higher than the others. 4. Blow Out. Awesome song, and works as a ‘closer’; it’s just much more of an odd fit for this particular album. 3. Motion Picture Soundtrack. This works very well as a closer, I just happen to like the songs above it, better. 2. The Tourist. So good. An an awesome way to close thier magnum opus. 1. Street Spirit. Yep, their top closer in my opinion.
My rating (as of right now): 1. Motion Picture Soundtrack 2. Separator 3. Street Spirit (Fade Out) 4. A Wolf at the Door 5. The Tourist 6. True Love Waits 7. Life In a Glasshouse 8. Videotape 9. Blow Out
Yo siempre pense a primera instancia que "The Tourist" se trataba sobre manejar en estado de ebriedad/ drogas / estresado y deprimido, o los tres, para que al final te terminara deteniendo la policia por exceso de velocidad. De ahi el coro "Idiot, slow down, slow down (entre otras metaforas que parecian cobrar sentido a esa interpretacion).
my ranking is 1.motion picture soundtrack 2.the tourist 3. life in a glasshouse 4. true love waits 5. separator 6. videotape 7. wolf at the door the rest are arbitrary to me, i never cared for the bends or pablo much.
I love to see people being hyped over their favorite songs, but I just cannot see the appeal in motion picture soundtrack. IT IS AMAZING, trust me. I love the demos too but "How to disappear completely" is far more emotional, I think. They completely overdid the strings/harps at 2:30.. it is just way too much, thus it doesn't give me any goosebumps. The demo of MPS is better than the final release
Yeah I’ve always preferred mps over how to disappear completely, I don’t even know why really, I think part of it is those closing lyrics of “I will see you in the next life” because it’s so sad but also comforting. I can see where you’re coming from though and I’m definitely going to go listen to the mps demo now because I actually have never checked that out.
good video. IMO: 9-Blow Out 8-Videotape 7-Street Spirit(Fade Out) 6-A Wolf At The Door 5-True Love Waits 4-Life In A Glass House 3-Separator 2-Motion Picture Soundtrack 1-The Tourist
why is it when everything relates to pablo honey, it's in dead last. pablo honey is easily better than their two newest albums, and blow out would be a top 3 closer for me. i just don't understand the hate
