In Rainbows is one of the most beautiful albums ever made by humanity.

[@ShrimplyPibblesJr]

Just the entire album

[@gagadreams]

[@johnnyhock]

In Rainbows is perfect… Keep changing my mind which track is my favourite 😂 weird fishes, nude, all I need, jigsaw falling into place - I guess it’s whichever one is playing !

@@johnnyhock I feel you. After about ten years I think I have settled on Reckoner and Nude being faves.

Colin Greenwod is such an underrated genius. He only plays his notes when necessary, a thing that is very rare for contemporary bassists. His melodies are unforgettable.

[@benwherlock9869]

and the fact that he is Jonny's brother is just perfect. A symbiosis.

[@mandobob]

CG's bass line on AIRBAG...man who plays like that!

[@benjamincoggins6568]

@@mandobob I know, right?! One of the greatest basslines ever. So out of the box, but completely perfect and indispensable for the song. Can hear a lot of dub influence in that part.

[@coffeejabberwocky]

Yeah I love his weird random stabs out of nowhere... He's a fan of the gaps and doesn't always feel the need to play with every kick.. he's his own musician. 😎

[@coffeejabberwocky]

@@benjamincoggins6568 I hear you on the dub reference. It's obviously a different style but he gives that same tombre somehow. Big and warm . I never heard it that way but I agree with you! Good point.

[@whatdothlife4660]

Nigel Godrich has been the producer and engineer for Radiohead since The Bends (Edit: Since OK Computer) and he's basically to Radiohead what George Martin was to The Beatles. Geebz you really owe it to yourself to watch some live footage of Radiohead (especially Live From the Basement) to see just how much each member contributes to their arrangements. The textures and pads are almost exclusively made by Ed and Johnny on their guitars and when they do use synths and keyboards they are almost always vintage analog instruments being played by Johnny.

[@1bossdj]

Johnny brings in a lot of cool stuff with his interest in modern classical composers. Dude's a savant.

[@mopbucket4938]

+1 for Nigel! Also, Colin's bass on that basement gig 🙌 .

Yes yes yes! Best live performance of all time I would easily pay 50$ to see G react to that!!

"Airbag" to me is the sound of the future, presenting itself in all of its awe and terror. One of the greatest album openers of all time.

[@pato8001]

no doubt. First radiohead CD I had (ten years after it came out...) put it in my car and heard the first notes of Airbag and was blown away. Completely sounded out of this world.

[@raoulduke2924]

Weird Fishes is for sure one of my favorite Radiohead jams. I also love Reckoner and All I Need. The live basement recording of Reckoner is a 10/10 experience as is the Scotch Mist version of All I Need.

In Rainbows from the Basement is amazing! it is a must watch!

Currently in the UK there’s an advert on TV for a charity, Cancer research I think, and a piano version of Reckoner is being played throughout the advert. It’s amazing. Can’t seem to find that version anywhere (haven’t searched for a while so it could be on YT now). Incredible stuff. All I Need is wonderful, too. So simple, but just perfect.

[@whendays659]

All I Need is dangerously emotional. Just gorgeous.

[@desrever1138]

When they recorded Fake Plastic Trees they were having a tough time wrapping up the ending so the band went to a pub and had a few ales to try to reset. When they got back to the studio they recorded the vocals heard on the album on the first take and as soon as Thom sang those lines he immediately broke down and started bawling his eyes out. That emotion is so amazingly conveyed on the track I can't help but cry with him when I hear it.

@@radshirt just listened to it. Definitely prefer the Radiohead version.

[@cecilcharlesofficial]

Weird Fishes is Radiohead transcending themselves.

[@Durmomo0]

Love Life in a Glass House. Love whenever they bring in the horns

[@okamiseven]

Life in a Glass House is a special case because it cant be performed properly without a New Orleans funeral jazz band. Absolute chaos in the horns

[@monkeyfarm]

Airbag was my alarm wakeup song for years - never heard it on headphones until now. Wow!

[@korylinn2251]

[@fourthbishop]

I think you'd get another (in my opinion, even better) feel from listening to a live version of Weird Fishes - search for "In Rainbows From the Basement (April 2008)" and it's the first track. The pacing also feels different to the studio version in a good way. The video showcases the In Rainbows album and is something I often return to.

[@MickeyValenz]

The from the basement concerts are so good. They're an experience. Wish I could have been in that room.

[@chymchymx2351]

And while you're at it, live version of Nude. :)

Funny, that: I disliked Pablo Honey so much that I basically avoided Radiohead until I learned Jonny Greenwood was scoring PT Anderson films. I still haven’t gone back to give it another shot. Yet.

[@halfalligator6518]

god, they have about 30 amazing songs i'd listen to before Creep. Maybe even more. I mean Creep is great... but they're so much bigger than that song.

[@lovelyisela1072]

I get that a lot where I ask people if they listen to Radiohead & they say “ yeah I love creep”. I’m like ugh you’re missing out truly. There’s so much more to Radiohead than just creep. But hey it’s still cool they listen to at least one song of theirs.

[@okamiseven]

The bassline on Airbag is one of their very best, and that's saying something. Brother Jonny gets heaps of praise but Colin is a phenomenal bassist and his parts are often one of the best things about their music

Fake plastic trees is the song that got me into them. Loved them ever since

[@antdujar]

Weird fishes is one of the greatest songs of all time and one of my favorites in their discography. A good go-to timeless track that takes you in and out of time. You gotta react to the live from the basement performance of the track aside from “reckoner” too. Heck “blow out”, “wish I was bulletproof “ and “black star” are awesome, emotional driven early Radiohead tracks.

[@nicknagy8903]

Morning Bell isn't *quite* a part two to another song, the outro of Idioteque (the previous) kind of just leads into Morning Bell, then fades out. Still a super cool transition when the Morning Bell drums enter. I really love the flow of Kid A, it's my favorite album of all time.

[@MickeyValenz]

I love seamless albums that feel like one long song.

[@gpeddino]

Weird Fishes/Arpeggi was originally a piece for orchestra and six Ondes Martenots composed by Jonny Greenwood. He then invited Thom to add lyrics and vocals to it. There's actually a live version from 2005 (search Arpeggi at Ether Festival). The band version features not only overlapping guitars but also a celesta.

[@stephenbyrneireland]

I cook dinner parties for my trade and clean the dishes listening to you, Geebz. Always a pleasure and especially when it's Raidiohead, greatest British band ever.

[@Consan67]

Radiohead is such an incredibly important band, I can not think of another band that has constantly taken new steps in its development, broken new musical ground and still retained all the bandmembers. It is both amazing and beautiful, in this world full of conflicts. While waiting for a new record, I have to settle for Thom & Johnny's side project (together with Tom Skinner), The Smile. They sometimes reach the same dizzying heights as Radiohead

[@kittervision]

Amazing and wonderful - your quote - it should be thrown back at you. Nobody does vids like you do - and to have you enjoy and breakdown my lifelong favorite band is a true joy. Honestly, so such gratitude to you for this absolute treat. Radiohead knocked off Stevie Ray Vaughan who had knocked off Pink Floyd as my favorite artists and no one has ever come around to take that crown despite my wide ranging tastes across so many genres since it happened at "OK Computer" in college in Blacksburg, VA in 1997 to this very day. They just have something else that rises above - for me myself of course, to each their own with music always - but your knowledge and breakdowns add so much, both to enjoy your discovery but also for me as a fan. Great man - this was an unexpected bit of treasure after a long day - thank you my brother. And yes sir - there is SO much more to come! Wait till you see "Weird Fishes" from the Basement concert.

It's a great album but has a couple of filler tracks. The Bends is their best album. OK Computer got a lot of acclaim to make up for the critics being late to acknowledging The Bends. It says a lot about the quality of the early work by Radiohead that they have those two great records. It's a shame that they went downhill after OK Computer. Such a waste of good song writers.

[@radiofoot1035]

Thank you so much for this video many Radiohead fans including myself are searching for Radiohead reactions daily! You're the best George keep it up 💯

[@avor6]

fun fact about weird fishes, the drums are playing 4/4 yet the guitars are playing at 3/4 so it gives it a gorgeous syncopation with resolutions dropped in throughout

[@jamiemuller2987]

Great work Geebz. I’m so glad you’re digging Radiohead and appreciating their brilliance.

[@iysil]

Thanks! I think everyone really would like to see your reaction to There There.

[@Camwin]

Ah this met my love of Radiohead and producing, thank you again for sharing your insight and wisdom.

[@radiodead745]

Well bud, you hit some great ones!! The crazy thing is they can do it all live, without overdubs. They ARE the real deal. Check out the stuff From the basement it's great to see it baked and the cake rise right in front of your eyes!!

I've never considered Radiohead to be one of absolute favorite bands, but the more I listen to them and with the help of the videos you've done on some of their songs, they're becoming one of my favs.

[@CO6883-o3c]

Been anticipating you doing Weird Fishes 🤘

[@Tom-ul1kn]

Please listen to The King Of Limbs from the basement! Their most underrated work but you'll absolutely love it

[@ilanamaduna5045]

Enjoyed it very much because as a self taught guitar player I use Radiohead songs to elevate my guitar playing due to their diversity and their musical evolution over time and you dissecting and analysing their music give names and understanding of what I've heard but didn't understand as the pure listener, Thanks even came up with my own creation listening to you. Please dissect PRESENT TENSE or EVERTHING IN IT'S RIGHT PLACE. Great work!

Man, Airbag has to be in my top 3 or 5 fav Radiohead songs. So grooving and spacious.

[@Demention94]

Yeah it encapsulates OK Computer a bit for me..

[@andrewhyde4708]

The warm, organic keyboard sounds on Morning Bell: I believe it’s a Fender Rhodes electric piano. They used that a lot on OK Computer and Kid A and it’s one of the things that they took from Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew, which they cited as a big inspiration during the OK Computer period. Live, on some tracks like Everything in its Right Place, they sample the sound through guitar pedals. I also love those warm tones and it’s a shame they stopped playing Morning Bell live. It was a great opener to their live sets for a while: I remember Colin, the bass player, saying he liked the gaps in the music because they’d help him get a feel for the physical space they were in. Great selection of tracks: they have a timeless quality in my opinion because of the details in the arrangements, the abstract lyrics and the way the songs keep revealing themselves on repeated listens, 15-25 years on from the recordings.

Everything in its right place is a Prophet 5. I do think Morning Bell is a Rhodes

Weird Fishes is my favourite song. Your reactions open up a whole new Radiohead experience for me since I fell in love with them in 1993 when I heard 'Anyone can play guitar'. I hear maybe 1/100th of the musical music that you do. I hear the emotional resonance of their songs. You reaction is wonderful for me to find another dimension after all these years. One thing about their songs is the way they always give a closure - even if it's unresolved, it feels like a deliberately unresolved closure, and so it's satisfying.

[@lauraforestdog1609]

This was so fun Geebz! I'm still here. You got a great little slice into their discography here. One suggestion: I still haven't seen you dig into anything from their most recent album. One of the great things about Radiohead is that they've been making music for so long (first album was 1993, most recent was 2016) and there is an evolution and trajectory as they go. I would suggest Daydreaming if you do decide to check out their most recent. Also, this band has amazing, quality b-sides. Their body of work is vast and could keep you busy for a long time!

[@troyjohnson9873]

Still here and smiling from hear to hear - HA! Great job as always! So excited to literally SEE your face enjoy these songs. Radiohead are masters of creating a specific mood and an ethereal atmosphere with the multiple layers of their music. So glad you did weird fishes :) You will enjoy the rest of their catalog. Another good sound quad cross section would be daydreaming, optimistic, all I need, motion picture soundtrack. Mahalo!

[@gibran5000]

they have always said that their engineer nigel godrich is the sixth member of the band. you should definitely watch the 'from the basement' series from them it really demonstrates nigels genius.

[@JackChurchill101]

The chronological order of their albums relays something interesting in the band's growth. From their first record Pablo Honey, they were rock/indie with all the bells and whistles - then with each album they step back more, and strip down more to the rawest, most minimal interpretation of the sound needed to convey the emotion. Compare Fake plastic trees, then Airbag, the. Morning bell, then to Weird Fishes in this instance.

Well said!!!!
