Don't forget Thom's solo album, Eraser.

This Henry Rollins Show Youtube video is very cool. Thom and Jonny playing Cymbal Rush (from Eraser). Love this version! Nigel Goodrich (their producer) joins in at end.

his solo album is great, one of those records that grows on you more and more even after a year of listening.

Amnesiac is my closet fave. It puts me in an altered state every time. It's a self-contained bit of genius. It's the kind of album that were any other band to have released it, it would have been hailed as their greatest accomplishment. We're spoiled: for us it's just another Radiohead album.

The Live From the Basement youtube stuff is incredible!! Supposedly a VH1 special (not the new years MTV/Current TV In Rainbows one; similar but better)? This is typical of how well they did that night!!

WOW!

I was just going to recommend this as Direct TV has been running it recently on their 101 station. I recorded last week and just got around to watching it- it should not be missed by any Radiohead fan- just mind blowing. If you have Direct set you DVR, record it and don't let it go. Here are the upcoming runs- http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/search/siteSearchResults.jsp?searchTerm=radiohead&homeSearch.x=0&homeSearch.y=0

I am having tons of fun with my "Best of Radiohead" DVD. Surprisingly decent SQ.

eclein · « **Reply #48 on:** 13 May 2010, 10:50 pm »

So far.."Kid A" is my favorite but still haven't received "OK-Computer" and "The Bends" yet...wow they just suck you in!!!

OK, thanks to you guys I have pretty much all the CD's now, still waiting on "The Bends" and "Pablo Honey".
My favs are:
1) Kid A
2) In Rainbows
3) Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief
4) OK Computer
5) My Iron Lung
6) I Might Be Wrong
I've pretty much listened to Radiohead exclusively for the past week and really am enjoying them. I haven't become so enamored by a band so fast in years!! I have to say these guys are either geniuses, totally out there, or both. After seeing a couple videos I'll go with both!!

Try 'Airbag/How's My Driving' as well, it's another excellent EP.

+1 Meeting in the Aisles is one of my favorite Radiohead tracks of all time.

As for DVDs if you can find the Glastonbury 2003 release it is outstanding.

Just got In Rainbows.... really awesome

eclein · « **Reply #55 on:** 21 Jul 2010, 09:38 pm »

So..remember this thread...I asked about recommendations and bought them all of course...so today I put on "KID A" which is my favorite
and while the rest of the folks were away I cranked it up..way up.."In Limbo" blew me away!! I mean, I'm talking outloud to myself-"this is awesome".."yeah"...anyway just thought I'd share that!! We need more Radiohead albums!!!!

Barry_NJ · « **Reply #56 on:** 22 Jul 2010, 02:06 am »

Thanks for the reminder... Sometimes I forget what I've got on the shelves and will not think about grabbing a disc for ages. I'm going to start at the beginning, 'Pablo Honey', and just work my way through the 8 Radiohead discs I have on the shelf...

Tyson · « **Reply #57 on:** 22 Jul 2010, 04:54 am »

My fave is "Amnesiac". A friend described it as "Melancholy, but with hope". Love that!
