Radiohead In 10 Songs


Radiohead - No Surprises

Ever felt overwhelmed by an artists extensive back catalog? Been meaning to check out a band, but you just dont know where to begin? In 10 Songs is here to help, offering a crash course and entry point into the daunting discographies of iconic artists of all genres. This is your first step toward fandom. Take it.

For some of us, it takes a whileto get into Radiohead, if we ever get into them at all. Thats because its easy to categorize their music as serious, self-important, and depressing and it is, sometimes. But to dismiss itentirely would be to miss out on sci-fi landscapes, wild experimentation, hook-filled grunge, and even some dance beats here and there. And thats what this list is about. Like all of ourIn 10 Songsfeatures, these arent necessarily the 10 best Radiohead songs, but the ones we feel best represent the many sides of the band while also unveiling their sometimes hidden accessibility. If you can get into at least one tune, chances are youll find a whole lot more of them to like throughout their discography. And if you can get behind all 10, you just might be a convert.

But thats just our opinion. If you feel we totally missed the boat, leave your 10 favorite gateway songs in the comments section below. As any fan can attest, one of the best things about listening to Radiohead is disagreeing about Radiohead.
