Anything off of ok computer, kid a, or hail to the thief. Fake plastic trees is a great song, street spirit is great too. The amnesiac album has good stuff too. Basically, everything they make is awesome.

instead of thinking in terms of individual songs, I find that their music is more suited to be listened to in album format. that said, I'd recommend ok computer, and kid a. they're both really diverse and musically challenging albums. lately i've been listening to the bends quite a bit, it's more conventional guitar/bass/drums type of rock. its more mellow and relaxing though.

i'm not sure what album it's off of but Like Spinning Plates is an AWESOME song... especially with headphones... or in a car... as much as i like them though they're cover of 'Wish you were here' really sucks. then again i don't think anyone can really successfully cover a pink floyd song. Yeah radiohead is good. heh

you know who else is good... bob dylan. I know people think his vocals are annoying but if you listen to his stories they're good. The Times They Are A Changing is a really good album. If you don't believe me download boots of spanish leather and with god on our side and um... only a pawn in their game. fuck it, if you can get the whole album do that.

Radiohead are one of the best bands of my generation, if not the best.

Radiohead is my favorite band of modern times. They're by far the best live act I've ever seen.
My favorite album of theirs is definitely Kid A.
some good songs to check out would be..
Everything In Its Right Place - Kid A The National Anthem - Kid A Idioteque - Kid A Optimistic - Kid A Karma Police - OK Computer Electioneering - OK Computer Paranoid Android - OK Computer Exit Music (For A Film) - OK Computer Talk Show Host - b-side - if it's hard to find, try to find it as a part of the Romeo & Juliet soundtrack Sail To the Moon - Hail To the Thief Backdrifts - Hail To the Thief The Gloaming - Hail To the Thief A Wolf At the Door - Hail To the Thief Packt Like Sardines In A Crushd Tin Box - Amnesiac You And Whose Army - Amnesiac I Might Be Wrong - Amnesiac Knives Out - Amnesiac Dollars & Cents - Amnesiac Like Spinning Plates - Amnesiac Life In A Glasshouse - Amnesiac
their older stuff is good too.. but the newer stuff is waaaaaay better in my honest opinion.. as an avid fan.
anyway.. hope that helps you find some good stuff..

As a note to the discussion of the cover of Floyd's "Wish You Were Here," the only contributing member from Radiohead is Thom, who collaborated with Sparklehorse. Supposedly, he sang his part over the phone from a hotel room and it was cleaned up in production. One can hear the hotel room's television in the background. Otherwise, I would agree with what has been suggested here, their work is diverse and imbued with a depth that is not seen often these days. And if you get a chance to see them live, DO IT! Their live performances are stellar.

If you're a fan of Radiohead, you might want to check out a band called Interpol. Their CD Turn On The Bright Lights is pretty new and pretty awesome. Check it out.

Yep, got the Interpol CD, it is quite excellent. Though I would (of course) liken them to Joy Division before Radiohead.
