First listen to Radiohead - Paranoid Android (REACTION)

[@davidg8939]

When my daughter brought me this CD 25 years ago, I listened to nothing else for 3 months. She was 15 and I was 35. OK Computer was a natural extension to my love for 70's prog rock. I went from this album to The Bends, and was not disappointed. Radiohead is a truly progressive band unafraid to experiment with tones, sounds, and vocals. Also Thom York's voice is perfect. And they seemingly don't care whether you like anything they make or not. Fearless they are.

[@dreckbaer]

AMEN brother!

[@jemxs]

Your facial expressions of shock and joy everytime the music changes up is priceless!

[@cherylreichardt]

I love how it picks up in response to his angst. Then that drop to the blended choir like voices. I get darn chills. Thom's voice haunts me. Then the riff at the end! It comes from the mind of a genius! I think this came from Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.

[@Problembeing]

Yup - Marvin the Paranoid Android :)

[@Pcrimson1]

This is one of those bands that keeps giving. The more you listen, the more you're pulled in. I remember when this first came out, my wife hated them! Every time I put them on, she'd say "Get them off, NOW!". But I persisted. Then one day out of the blue she said she loved them. She even bought the tickets to the last tour when they came here. So, those of you who may be initially turned off, give it a few listens, hopefully you find the beauty in what may seem chaotic. Enjoy!

[@allsorts9909]

Best response I read from any journalist when this was released,was Punk Floyd

[@sopyleecrypt6899]

This song is a masterpiece; a modern classic. One of my favourites.

[@scifimonkey3]

Stopped. Everything. Daniels doing Paranoid Android……………such a good song!

[@DiconDissectionalReactions]

Yeah, this song is a freaking masterpiece.

[@RDMCWILL]

Same

[@keithrichman6918]

Ditto! Put everything on hold to watch this!!!❤️

[@ekadow]

Yep, you said it. A masterpiece. The live version on the 1997 Jools Holland show is also brilliant, maybe more so because it really shows off their musical talents. Nuff said..........

[@paulstroud2647]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWaThomcnNyJq6M Incredible.

[@ekadow]

@@paulstroud2647 Oh yesssssssssss.....!!! 👍

[@RFFVNS]

Much prefer that performance to the studio version. Both great but their live versions of the song are usually far better imo

[@ekadow]

@@RFFVNS Yep

[@MrJamBluejam]

Please tell me Jools doesn't try to join in.

[@greenphoenix687]

So great watching you react to this... its such a ride. This song is a masterpiece. Thoms vocals are always haunting and Jonny Greenwoods guitar and melatron playing are supreme. You should watch the live version on Jools Holland.. you would think it would sound different, but they are all so talented... just watch to see, its epic!

[@everton290574]

Yes the Jools Holland live version is epic 👍

[@chrislincoln5860]

I've binged like 50 of your reactions the past few days. Stellar stuff.

[@sarahjane8146]

“Prog took itself too seriously.” Ed O’Brien EXACTLY

[@fibrown444]

I bought 'The Bends' and loved it, already in my head were one of the best bands to emerge from the 90s, then they released 'Ok Computer' cementing that belief. One of the few bands I had on my wall as an university student back in the day.

[@suzzicat]

I love seeing how much you give yourself up to the music. Brilliant reaction and reflection on the song. Thank you, Daniel! x

[@KyleWigginsArt]

This is the song that helped me to fully appreciate Radiohead.

[@AnnQuebecPolska]

Hello young man! I appreciate your channel...I find comforting that through your work you promote in your own way good music from my generation . I dont know if you take any request but if you do, Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead formed a band "The Smile " so I would like your reaction on Pana vision or You Will Never Work In Television Again !

[@leadbones]

That's exactly right. A true masterpiece.

[@allisonreed7682]

This song is absolutely a masterpiece. Can’t wait to watch your reactions to the rest of the tracks, especially “Karma Police”. There are too many Radiohead songs to mention when thinking of other songs for your channel. Anything from their catalog is worthy, to be honest. One that you absolutely shouldn’t miss, however, is “Talk Show Host”. Also check out Thom Yorke’s solo track “Hearing Damage”.

[@Yosef1952]

Love the acoustic guitar on this number. Imaginative switches in mood and instrumentation, interesting structure, all punctuated by the strange, almost eerie vocals that interweave through it. A genuine winner.

[@veevamm3642]

Its is a masterpiece! LIVE or wow! Its a sight to see Jonny do this solo!

[@craigjackson5820]

AbsoLUTEly loving howing you are receiving this! A masterpiece indeed.

[@NCRRanger7753]

I listened to this album on cassette tape so much that the tape broke while I was at work. That was my first legit heartbreak lol.

[@-davidolivares]

I thought I knew this album but it looks like I’m in for an awakening. Ready for more.

[@angelatkins4330]

This song hits every emotion at some point in song. Wide range. I want this played at my funeral lmao

[@gablen23]

this album is everything you've heard of it and more, I probably don't even understand a tenth of it, yet I find it amazing.

[@manualboyca]

One of my favorite songs...from any band!

[@rickcain4736]

check out the surreal animated video for this one

[@csn10]

Pixies are well worth checking out considering their influence on Radiohead, Nirvana and Pavement. Bono and Bowie are huge fans, and Bowie said of their influence that the quote about Velvet Underground "while not a lot people bought their albums, those who did started a band" applies to Pixies as well.

[@Katehowe3010]

'Surfer Rosa' left an indelible mark on the burgeoning grunge movement!

[@musicfan8253]

I cannot wait for the rest of these to drop! Thanks for doing this album, Daniel. What a great band and fantastic song.

[@williamandres1042]

This one could be Radiohead's magnum opus... so great.

[@gigilaroux762]

It’s a freaking masterpiece. And Karma Police… could there ever be a more beautiful tragic song?!?

[@SotonCueMan]

A song that is an absolute must to look at live as well..........

[@RDMCWILL]

I heard this song first on MTV (back when they had only music) went out and bought the CD and listened beginning to end. One of my top 5 albums ever

[@cometogether999]

I can't wait to see your expressions during this.

[@gh41996]

Thom is obviously brilliant, but goddamn Jonny fucking kills it.

[@Alonyul3]

You should listen to their album In Rainbows as well, such a good album

[@yannhollister9091]

I like to call it the 90's Bohemian Rhapsody. Same level of genius, just an immaculate masterpiece.

[@benoitdesmarais2948]

Certainly the gateway to the album (along with Karma Police), but the rest might really grow on you. To me, Lucky is the other masterpiece on this album. AND: the quality level stays at the top all the way to In Rainbows and picks up again on Moon Shaped Pool. Greatest band of the last 25 years!

[@michaeldrennan9932]

Let me say this to you before you even React to this!! I'll be 60 years old come November and this tune was So Great to my Ears and So Early Pink Floyd with Syd Barrett influence Pouring out of this track!! I call Radiohead "The New Age Pink Floyd " if Syd Barrett was still alive (he would be proud)!! Get ready for Karma Police!!!

[@greygrey4]

A masterpiece, yes, amen.

[@Lightmane]

Love to see you going through entire albums, 1 song at a time. JustJP does this sometimes too. Love the way you both mix it up, but I miss seeing you react to YES. It's been a while

[@timlynch5710]

"God loves his children. God loves his children, yeah." An audio tryptich. A most holy trinity of a song. I knew you would get it. Cheers bro.

[@midkingsteve]

Weeell great now I have to watch all of these

[@Johro66]

"noooooooooo don't end!!!" I get that.

[@craigjackson5820]

Best. Album. Ever.

[@IvoryCruzader]

Good one huh :-) Progressive, aggressive and beautiful - my favorite from this album. Cheers.

[@tsogobauggi8721]

4:22 "What the heck...?" Hahaha yeah, that is this song. :)

[@jjbb4546]

Animal collective - Peacebone Tr/St - Sulk New Order - Blue Monday

[@richardhoulton4016]

A masterpiece :)

[@mikeski7621]

Another great prog tune!!! I would really love to see you react to some Molly Hatchet. Check out their songs Dreams I'll never see, Flirting with disaster, Bounty Hunter, Gator Country, Fall of the Peacemakers, Whiskey Man and many others. Thanks

[@JamesRea2]

When you are done with the album, please do Fake Plastic Trees.

[@patrickrasmussen2666]

Genius got the "unborn chicken voices" bit wrong. It's a simple double entendre really. Egg shakers. Ed/Phil were screwing around with egg shakers and other hand held percussion while Thom was trying to sleep. What's an unborn chicken? An Egg. Their voice is the sound the shaker makes.

[@Katehowe3010]

This is a landmark album, but i suggest you check out the last two Talk Talk albums. Music from another place!

[@jameshannagan4256]

I love both of those brilliant albums.

[@bulletproofvita]

Yes it is a masterpiece 😆

[@ginafragata2947]

Year 'they até amazing

[@ecce_neru]

This album... OK Ween

[@theberlinfrequency4250]

I may be paranoid but not an android.

[@Problembeing]

I would recommend Worst Case Scenario, the first album by band, dEUS. It pre-dated this and is as experimental and progressive imo.

[@michaelstewart3315]

Hozier- take me to church, with music video is a must. After your movie.

[@stacoco6166]

can you react to the strokes "ode to the mets" if possible the album "the new abnormal" ?

[@erikmatonickin]

Do you like more OK Computer or The Wall?

[@Womberto]

The title is referencing a character from the Douglas Adams book A Hitchiker's Guide To The Galaxy, Marvin The Paranoid Android. The book is great, the radio and TV series fantastic but the film is absolutely awful.

[@Womberto]

@@viceroyzh I've read what I think was the second of the four in the trilogy.

[@theberlinfrequency4250]

OK computer, I want full manual control now

[@eshtrogy6458]

Nice opeth shirt

[@michaeldrennan9932]

Now since I watched your reaction, gotta continue to say that this song would be the Syd Barrett Confusion with the Roger Waters Anger both of the original Pink Floyd but in a different generation!! RIP Syd Barrett!!

[@LS-wn5cd]

Try "I Think I'm Paranoid" from Garbage next.

[@peepnox7747]

:)

[@plum3238]

What the heck

[@ederlarita7350]

can you react to my favorite japanese band or you cant? , I will donate u if you do

[@pentagrammaton6793]

Oh man I've been trying to forget the 90s since they ended, and Thom Yorke's whining doesn't help lol.

[@ecce_neru]

Prefer The Bends.

[@magmcmahon9038]

Power to Ukraine force's 😁

[@1nelsondj]

I like this band okay but I prefer more listenable voices, lyrics I don't have to look up to understand, real melodies that will get stuck in my head long after the song is over. Radiohead is good at creating musical noise that sounds original but who wouldn't rather listen to John Wetton, Roger Daltrey, John Lennon, David Gilmour, Sinead O'Connor, Martha Davis (The Motels), Ian Anderson, Peter Gabriel, etc. I don't listen to this band much but I do have all their albums.

[@jameshannagan7830]

Me I would rather listen to Radiohead although I love Peter Gabriel try In Rainbows from Radiohead it is a bit more accessible and melodic my personal favorite although I love all their albums the Bends would work for you too.
