When it comes to Radiohead's albums, their 1997 chart-topper OK Computer leads the way with 1.53 million copies sold, followed by 1995's The Bends. It might be one of their few studio albums not to top the Official Chart, but it has spent a staggering 203 weeks in the Top 100, giving it overall sales of 1.24 million. This song, which we consider worthy of placing at the top of our list, has an emotional expression that reflects the longing and nostalgia for one’s past and experiences in life. It is a song with an enchanting atmosphere that makes you want to listen to it repeatedly with its melody and ups and downs. Once the band’s secret weapon, Greenwood is now a garlanded composer and Radiohead’s melodic powerhouse. Finally entrusted to build an arrangement from scratch, he turned the live favourite Burn the Witch into this orchestral jaunt. The iffy tour version – shorn of strings and charm – attests to his handiwork on the recording. 34. Creep (1993) Portuguese Charts – Radiohead – The Best Of (album)". Portuguesecharts.com .

In 2007, after Radiohead chose not to renew their contract, EMI released The Best Of and a box set of Radiohead albums to boost their revenue. [1] Radiohead had no creative input into the releases and were reportedly "enraged", seeing best-of compilations as typical of artists in commercial and creative decline.

The music video for the song “Jigsaw Falling into Place” was shot with an artistic and symbolic approach, like the band’s other videos. The music video was created by combining live performance footage from self-facing cameras worn by the band members. Which Radiohead songs are better? Nigel Godrich settles into cruise control on this In Rainbows highlight, a rare haven from the band’s omnipresent dread. Instead, Weird Fishes/Arpeggi evokes an all-too-perfect harmony: cascading arpeggios enchant while fragmentary lyrics caution against the lure of false prophets. 17. True Love Waits (2016) Despite that, the song went on to become a hit across Europe and America, leading them to re-issue it in the UK, where it landed at Number 7 on the Official Singles Chart.

9. ‘Reckoner’

After the divisive Kid A/Amnesiac era, Hail to the Thief’s lead single felt diplomatic – no more sacrilegious than Blur’s experiments at around the same time. Its hooks and arrangement were deceptively crafty, though, making its turbulent climax hard to shake. 26. Where I End and You Begin (2003) A later-career treasure, Radiohead’s tribute to the last surviving combat soldier of the first world war shows how much ground they have barely touched. With just a funereal, cinematic string section for company, Yorke sends his falsetto out over the trenches, an innocent witness to “demons coming up from the ground”. 23.

There's nothing we can do about it. The work is really public property now anyway... It's a wasted opportunity in that if we'd been behind it, and we wanted to do it, then it might have been good ... And now it's like when you move house – you don't want to peer through the window and see what they've done with the wallpaper because it will only upset you. [2] Even when they’re not facing the abyss, Radiohead songs tend to operate in its general vicinity, albeit without revealing what led there. But True Love Waits – sketched on an earlier live album and perfected 15 years later – conceals nothing: the abyss, listener, is love. “I’d drown my beliefs to have your babies,” Yorke confesses woefully, wonderfully. 16. Airbag (1997) As the Iraq war protests floundered, Yorke sporadically logged on to radiohead.com to denounce New Labour and the warmongering “thief” in the White House. 2+2=5 is his polemical anthem for the era of mass-broadcast deception and enhanced interrogation techniques, captured thrillingly in this Com Lag EP version. 30. Morning Bell (2000)

On In Rainbows, Radiohead’s cosiest album, Videotape is refreshingly, passionately despondent. Yorke vaguely evokes horrors – surveillance-state ennui, digital isolation, the gaze of an unforgiving deity – in a death-row drawl. Then, a change of heart: perhaps it was “the most perfect day I’ve ever seen”, after all. 14. Polyethylene (Pt 1 & 2) (1997) Australian Charts – Radiohead – The Best Of (album)".

Radiohead’s biggest hit is so beautiful and corny, it is impossible to accept it on its own terms. “I want you to notice when I’m not around,” Yorke broods, a perfect lyric he probably hates. In the end, the band’s disavowal of the song sent its credibility full circle. Nowadays, Creep is a joke, but we’re all blissfully in on it. 33.
