I've never been a fan of Radiohead, and never really bothered to listen to much of their stuff. It's open for debate which of those is the cause and which the effect ;)

In the light of this thread I'm going to have a proper listen and go through some of the recommendations that people have posted.

Elli check out There there and Myxamatosis from Hail to the thief .. pure genius ..

From chimpan-a to chimpan-z,
No, you'll never make a monkey out of me.
Oh, my God, I was wrong,

does anyone have their version of Nobody Does It Better?

It's a live version, and I downloaded it years ago from Napster, but mine's fucked, goes off half way through and I can't find it now :( (starts off with Thom saying 'this is the sexiest song ever written)

They also did a cover of Rhinestone Cowboy, which I had but lost when my harddrive died about 5 years ago, and I've never been able to find it since, so if you have that I'll be forever indebted to you :P

Can't use Limewire, uni blocks it, only options I've got are ftp, http and bittorrent, googled it to death looking but got nowhere. I haven't got Union City Blue, although I think I've heard it.

There is one due out in the summer as far as i know. Thom Yorke said before that their albums run in cycles of three. So this should be as different from hail to the Thief as Kid A was from OK Computer..... Cant wait

I saw them last night at Meadowbank Stadium in Edinburgh. They were absolutely awesome, playing a mixture of old classics, some of the stuff of the more recent 'difficult' albums, and some new tracks. They came back on  after a lot of people had left the stadium to play 'Creep' - Thom Yorke was laughing as people came running back in to see them.

I read recently that they did intend to play it on this tour but that 'it hadnt felt right yet' or something like that! Fuckin delighted with the look of that playlist (except no No Surprises)

Absolutely cant fuckin wait to see them in Dublin tomorrow night. Missed them the last time they were over, so havent seen them since the Big Top in 2000... Long time to wait!!

Saw most of his set - and he was superb too. Not a big fan but he was ace and the band rocked out. He has got puppets of him and the band onstage and it's really funny. ;D

Haven't got to see them unfortunately, but I've got a few shows off this tour from dimeadozen and they sound great - pretty varied setlist, changing as the tour progresses.  haven't seen the 'V' set up there yet, but it will be soon I hope.
 Enjoy the show...

Beck was the highlight though for me, and thats saying alot as Radiohead are and have been for a few years now, my favourite band.
