Happy Birthday Thom Yorke!
I really can’t even begin to imagine my life without the music of Radiohead in it. It would be an absurd existence.
I can clearly remember the first time I ever laid eyes on Thom Yorke. I was slightly frightened by him and totally confused by the alien nature of his face. I thought, “this guy is weird and he scares me,” the way he seemed all in his head and the way he seemed not to be connected to Earth at all. He was an enigma to me.
There was something about his introversion and his mystical lazy eye that intimidated me. Then I heard him sing.
Radiohead has since become the stars, the moon, and the sounds of pure heaven to me.
Happy Birthday Thom! I love you.
Here are some of my favorite Radiohead and Thom Yorke masterpieces:
“Reckonor”
“Talk Show Host”
“Lucky”
“No Suprises”
“The National Anthem”
“Just”
“Sail To The Moon”
And from his solo album:
“Black Swan”
“Harrowdown Hill”
There are so many more brilliant masterpieces with Thom Yorke’s fingerprints all over them but these are the ones that men the most to me. Please post yours so we can share.
Happy Birthday old chap!

Talk Show Host is the greatest B-side ever. They need to play it live more.

Best band in the world right now. Seriously Kid A is one of the top 10 albums of all time. Please tour. Radiohead or Atoms for Peace would do. Play Coachella with Radiohead!!!
Top 10 is very difficult and I will look at this list tomorrow and completely disagree with it, but:
Airbag
Backdrifts
How to Disappear Completely
Kid A
Let Down
Morning Bell
Paranoid Android
Planet Telex
There There
Weird Fishes/Arpeggi
