There's a lot of room in that list to make space. Out of the first 10 songs listed (#31-40), the only two I would keep are "Just" and maybe "Burn the Witch."

I'd also swap out "Knives Out" for "You and Whose Army?".

I think a lot of those are matters of personal choice though. I could see someone falling on either side of those decisions. I think it’s clear that the persons who made the list is a fan but has also tried to cover all eras which I perhaps wouldn’t have.

That said while I couldn’t guarantee them a top 40 place The Daily Mail and Spectre would be in my conversation and the album cut of 2+2=5 and Morning Bell/Amnesiac would probably be in.

Is "Present Tense" not on that list? That's one of my all time favorites.

No "Fake Plastic Trees" either?! I feel like that's the big single that's the best encapsulation of Radiohead as a band. It's like their manifesto.

Its a good single but if you’re putting me against a wall the three I’d pick off the bends are the title track, just and street spirit and I’d probably pick my iron lung and black star ahead of it too...

But but but my opinions have consequence

So I’m going to be constructive and try and come up with my own 40 rather than sniping at someone else’s. It might take me a while but I’ll report back when I get there...

Oooooh maybe I’ll listen to all the albums whilst I’m doing it...

Good Morning Mr Magpie will be nowhere near my list

This is a fun idea... I may try to do the same... but will be a massive undertaking

It will be but I’m working from home and have a lot of time on my hands...

I feel like I did a top twenty on the radiohead thread on the old forum, and it took me a few days.

It’d struggle to get in my top 100 Radiohead songs, in answering my own question to @Ericj32 above, that’s one of the ones I’d be taking out

Agree with this..creep ain’t that great

Got my copy of the LRSD Moon Shaped Pool! Thanks again to @Joe Mac for the heads up. Would be interesting to do an A/B comparison of my black optimal pressing. So far, I think this one sounds quite good (only on Side A right now). I haven't heard any surface noise yet on mine and didn't even do a clean yet.

I think it would be easier to do tiers. An actual ranking is tuffffff.
