In Rainbows is their best (probably said that already).
Radiohead - good?

Yeah. Three songs in and I think it's definitely better than Kid A which was definitely better than OK Computer which was maybe better than The Bends which was probably better than Pablo Honey. I usually prefer bands' earlier sparkier albums but Radiohead buck that trend.

Thom Yorke has made some excellent solo tracks too, but this might be my fave.
It's a shame covid cancelled me seeing him live.

inspired by this thread, been relistening this week non stop. no doubt, they've made some beautiful music. i think the guitar stuff has aged a bit tho.
i put spinning plates on in the car with my dad there
"Jesus, this'll make you wanna drive into a wall..." and shook his head

"Jesus, this'll make you wanna drive into a wall..." and shook his headUp late, watching this gig. Wasn't at it but I saw them at Primavera around the same time.
I remember being similarly frustrated at them playing all their slow newer stuff, I basically wanted to hear OK computer and In Rainbows (which they did). In fact they even did Creep which Thom said they hadn't played in years, much to the delight of the Spanish crowd. Not a fan of that period personally but the In Rainbows stuff was incredible. Nude.... nuff said.
But now looking at this gig, some of the newer stuff is actually really good, just not really for a coked up crowd on a saturday night. Jonny Greenwood is still my man crush.
Edit: actually this must have been about the time his wife died. The tone totally changed around that time. He's a very private man but it must have been tough. He kept gigging though.

It still amazes me that a group of dudes who just happened to know each other and lived in the same town can come together and be such a perfect band, a la the Beatles. There is no weak link in Radiohead. No need for a fucking talent show. Just have a jam and see where it goes. I was in bands with my mates... you really get to know someone in a weird way by jamming with them.
Observations watching that Berlin gig above - Ed O'Brien is actually a really strong vocalist (I didn't realise he was doing the backup on paranoid android) and Thom a very good guitarist. The arpeggio thing on weird fishes between them is much harder than it looks.
Ok, I best go to bed

That new track by The Smile ain't half bad either.
I would say that Radiohead are definitely good, but I don't listen to all of their songs. Here's one I like though, I really like how this sounds and I like the lyrics :
And this is another one I like to listen to :

And I have to include this one. Also, I've not really listened to their more recent stuff tbh but I like em.
And I like songs from other albums of theirs, such as Fake Plastic Trees, but those songs (though very good) can be depressing :

I've been a massive Radiohead fan since Pablo Honey was released. I was at the Astoria gig, did loads of shows on the big top Kid A tour, Bercy stadium amnesty international gig, it was my life at the time... I haven't even listened to moon shaped pool. In Rainbows is perfection IMO and I dont want to taint that

I haven't stopped listening to A Moon Shaped Pool since it has come out, it is now my favourite album of theirs and it's up there in my top 10 of the 21st century. It may take a while as it's their most low key album, but it's a grower and that is one reason why it keeps staying with me.I've been a massive Radiohead fan since Pablo Honey was released.

A Moon Shaped Poo is pretty damn good. Needs a few listens though.

What would Badgers do?
His solo album from 2020 is worth a listen if you’ve not heard it.

That's my fave. I once got kidnapped from the pub at closing time and taken to a party in St Catharines next door to the big country house where they recorded that. It was a summer night and I didn't know anybody there but had a fine time, couldn't find the kidnappers and ended up walking back to civilization along a long lane. Years later, after rejecting Radiohead as doomy shoe gazers, I finally gave Ok Computer a proper listen and was transported back to that walk through the summer night.

Does anyone have any thoughts on The Smile album yet?

It's a no from me. Just doesn't do it for me on any levels.
TBH I haven't generally been impressed with any new Radiohead or related side-projects since In Rainbows, and that was like 15 years ago. I think the only semi-interesting thing was Ed O'Brien's solo project EOB a couple of years back (though he'd clearly been listening to a lot of mid nineties U2).

I think some of Yorke's solo stuff is amazing. Surely "Unmade" is as beautiful as any Radiohead track?
I'm still very much getting into The Smile album (not even heard it right through yet), but it feels like it could be a bit of a grower. The reviews have been very positive.

I liked the live shows they did, but the album seems a bit slower. As you say, it might be a bit of a grower though.

Unmade is a lovely track. A standout really. Just wish he or Radiohead would put out another belter like The Eraser or In Rainbows.
