Lots of things to say but here's my take: Radiohead is very unique in their approach to the notion of "serving the song" instead of their individual contributions so they clearly prioritize the writing aspect in their music, according to Jonny Greenwood he is "more proud of what they have written than how he plays". Nonetheless, it seems that they tend to contribute in some specific ways which elevate their tracks tremendously: Thom Yorke - his teacher Terence Gilmore James described him as "thinker and experimenter", main songwriter, avant-gardist, very underrated in rhythm guitar Jonny Greenwood - composer/arranger extraordinaire, the band's jack of all trades; he's arranging Thom's ideas and in my opinion he is most certainly one of the heavy hitting composers of the 21st century (not to mention his creative textures in guitar) Ed O'Brien - the pedal wizard, he's very candid in his taste and one of the most underrated guitarists in recent history, secret sauce in their creative textures Colin Greenwood - he's known as the peacemaker in the band, extremely underrated bassist, his rhythmic interplay with Jonny is often underappreciated but certainly elevates the songs tremendously Phil Selway - the human metronome, he supports the band in every way, incredible at drum programming as well, he's like the skeleton of their music Nigel Godrich - The best sixth man of all time Stanley Donwood - RH is also very candid about their relationship with visual arts and usually this aspect contributes to the imagery of their songs tremendously without being aware, he's equally responsible for RH aesthetic Radiohead, for me, is the perfect combination of selfless people who know what they like about music and have insatiable appetite towards exploring new realms by being fascinating musicians but avid lifelong learners at the same time...

Way back in 1997 I was writing for a street press magazine , and I got an invite to a secret gig Radiohead played in Sydney Australia. It was just before OK Computer was released, it was kind of an industry promo. During my 12 years doing that job in Sydney I went to over 3000 gigs, and many more since then, but that Radiohead show rates in my Top 5. Yeah. That good. And that was still their relatively early days. I've seen them again since, and although they are far more polished now, it isn't quite the same.

My favorite Radiohead song. Everyone is always shocked by that, but can never seem to explain why...they all "like it". The way the simple but melodically intricate parts layer together in the verse and chorus to perform an impenetrable cascade of sound...it's hypnotizing. Especially once you've heard the acoustic version, and realize how they essentially cut out the main melodic part of the song...and made it brilliant.

Gives me chills every time.

Truly amazing band, record, and my favorite song. Thanks Radiohead, for giving me the best eargasms I've ever had!

There's a normal, everyday brilliance to radiohead, effortlessly putting together material practically every other band on earth or elsewhere would die and kill for, and then making them even better live. Some trick

This is just PERFECT

Excellent tune. I love listening to this in my car on clear summer nights and driving around. Very chill. Excellent song to listen to while star gazing
