I love watching musicians reacting to Radiohead, I always learn something about why it doesn't sound 'normal' and adds another reason to love them. I'd highly reccomend watching them live, In Rainbows live from the basement is outstanding, its like being with them in their rehearsal room, its so good they done it again with King of Limbs live from the basement and thats also outstanding.

By that convention then "Bones" is in 14/4 ... really these things are written as alternating 4/4 and 6/4 because giant measures are disorienting

Ok Computer is a masterpiece. I can never get tired of In Rainbows. RH has so many wonderful songs. The In the Basement stuff is outstanding.

This entire album is a complete left-turn from the band when it came out in 2000, only 3 years after their most critically acclaimed album- regarded as one of the greatest alternative rock albums of all time. A lot of the songs off Kid A are absolutely fascinating when it comes to chord progressions and just new, fresh sounds. It still feels alien. Way ahead of it's time. Would love to see you react to more off this record.

Thom York has said that Everything In Its Right Place is based on how he felt for a long time after the tour in support of Ok Computer (that almost caused the band to quit). Sucking on a lemon - the face you make is how I felt. So burned out that the band wrote Kid A as a reaction. "I Fxxxing hate guitar music" - Thom York.

Glad to see you deep diving into Radiohead. Totally worth it. Still wondering what other bands/musicians Allie will recommend, but hoping it includes among others Tool and Fiona Apple.

@@ErolReacts yeah, Tool has a massive following, while Fiona, although being a brilliant musician and composer with several awards and acclaimed by the critics, she's pretty underrated as she turned her back on mainstream record labels and media a long time ago and became sort of an outcast. However, she's arguably the best female solo performer alongside Bjork and Tori Amos to come out of the 90's.

Just for your own comparison (doesn't need a reaction video), check out the version of Everything ... by the jazz pianist Brad Mehldau. He's a real Radiohead fan--I believe he's covered six of his songs on his albums (I saw him play Paranoid Android at a solo concert here about 20 years ago).

Hi! Love your videos so far. Always nice to see people discovering new music and it's good to be able to learn a little about music theory from you. As for a suggestion I'd say any performance by Jeff Buckley, although his live performance of Lover, You Should've Come Over in Chicago is his best in my opinion. He was a bit of an influence on Radiohead but other than that he was an incredible guitarist and singer who never gets quite as much attention as he deserves.
