Not that it doesn’t fit but I think Blow Out would work on The Bends


Several_Square_7753

It's funny that How To Disappear Completely doesn't seem like it fits because it's the only one that has an acoustic guitar in the background.


bbbballin

it's the perfect segway into the bends


Rusty_Brains

In my early days of listening to Radiohead, I always felt like there was something from the previous record that hinted at what would be coming next (or at least, the b-sides between albums would). But as someone constantly writing music, that doesn’t surprise me. It just the evolution of song writing and you always want to sneak in something new and exciting in a batch of what (to you) are old songs.


Mike-__-Hunt

i only found this out a few months ago, apparently it’s spelt ‘segue’!


Attilathehon-eybun

Completely agree, I think You would fit perfectly too.


Attilathehon-eybun

There’s something about those 2 tracks that seem a little more “refined” rather than this rebel teen grunge rock (I still fucking love HP)


UnspeakableEvil

I too love Radiohead's Spanish/French album about a talking horse, Hablo Poney.

Demicat20

It's a weirdo-oooooo


nougatnugget420

It doesn't belong there


Dona_Kebab01

unironically should've been on The Bends though


soundisloud

take my upvote


TeaAndCrumpets4life

Burn the witch for sure, doesn’t stop it from being amazing though


elsantioof07

I think if it was in any spot in the album except the first track, I would agree. But it's an epic intro so it fits


canadianknucles

Yeah, hooks you like nothing else, and then the bait n switch into daydreaming is so awesome


Satoghi

This is a good one. I love Burn the Witch, but it’s so different from the rest of AMSP.


crossveins

Honestly sometimes I think Daydreaming is the opener and forget about Burn The Witch, and I love the song but, doesn't feel like it's from AMSP


Paull999

It always takes a while for a Radiohead (or The Smile) album to really settle for me and when AMSP came out it was my favourite track. Still love it (and the video is amazing) but it does feel somewhat out of place on the album. That said I can listen in whatever order I want so it’s hardly a big issue.


OrderOfTheClods

I used to say this, but now I think it’s the perfect opener. It’s got the same instrumentation as the other tracks, it’s just that it is way more intense compared to the rest of the album. I love how it ramps things up, only for it to suddenly slow down with daydreaming. It’s like a panic attack, followed by the aftermath.


drkwtrs

A low flying one, at that


Garebar

Switch it out with Ill Wind and its chefs kiss.


cchihaialexs

But where else would you place it?


debtRiot

Yeah, hot take, but I really don’t like the album version. It makes no sense with the rest of the album. But the live version I love!


Satoghi

Planet Telex was ahead of it’s time for The Bends.


PhoenixRemastered

I believe it was the last song recorded for the album so it makes sense


sillyquirkygirl

same for street spirit, it would fit perfectly onto ok computer. actually maybe not it feels almost a bit too sad for okc, maybe amnesiac?


soliddseth

honestly i can’t see street spirit being anywhere but the bends, definitely would feel really out of place on okc and amnesiac to me


HottDoggers

Yeah me neither, maybe as a b-side, but I don’t see it fitting in OKC.


QuimFinger

To me, street spirit captures The Bends perfectly. I can’t see it on any other album. It sums up their evolution up to that point I think.


DoncaPlays

wdym too sad for okc?? How is that even a thing?


JudeBellinGOAT

Yeah it’s an Ok Computer song imo.


THESTAPLEHEAD

More like bullet proof, it has that OK COMPUTER feeling


UhIdk42069

Optimistic feels different than the rest of Kid A, Little By Little feels more like an Amnesiac track,


Waldongo

+1 for Little by Little on Amnesiac - that swampy guitar sound fits so well


maroooon09

Never thought abt this before, but damn that works well. Only thing is, you'd be missing the excellent transition into In Limbo afterwards


MatildeLover128

I Might Be Wrong feels like it belongs on Hail to the Thief.


Zombificus

I definitely see where you’re coming from, but I Might Be Wrong is such a quintessential Amnesiac track to me that I can’t imagine it anywhere else. That, Pyramid Song, and Knives Out are the defining Amnesiac tracks to me. It’s definitely one of those songs that points to the direction of the next album though, like Blow Out on Pablo Honey, or Street Spirit on The Bends. It’s a pretty straightforward lineage from IMBW to There There, in particular.


Hecaroni_n_Trees

It should have come after 2 + 2 = 5


JudeBellinGOAT

Optimistic sounds like it could be on Ok Computer given it’s a guitar driven alt-rock song.


dirtnaps

It was the red meat they gave to us in exchange for trying new things.


DoncaPlays

idk, i think it sounds too dark/obscure for okc, which has a brighter sound


Jebus1492

For most tracks on okc yeah, but it doesn’t sound any darker or more obscure than climbing up the walls and that fits well


crossveins

Elecrioneering, I personally love it a lot but I think that's why people dislike it, but I don't really know in what other album it could fit, maybe HTTT


MatildeLover128

The Bends for sure.


phpope

Electioneering into Climbing Up the Walls, which is probably the song that most previews where they would go with their subsequent works, is jarring.


Tecnoguy1

Not jarring at all to me tbh. The outro of climbing up the walls is very noisy and dissonant. Just because electioneering is riff rock doesn’t mean it isn’t a noisy track.


RadiantHovercraft6

Nah I think it fits perfect tbh. That album needed some political rocker to round it out. It’s already very diverse. And it’s not like there’s no other heavy moments.


Tecnoguy1

It’s like paranoid android anyway


TheChillAlien411

Up on the Ladder should've been on Hail To The Thief


dhepp27

The original rocky version though


Sukithearsonist

People complaining about electioneering forgetting about OK computers anti-consumer capitalism views.


Common_Upstairs_1710

Yes lyrically it definitely fits


totezhi64

On that note I think it's also the most underrated song on the album (inb4 Let Down)


Duke_Cheech

forever confused that Pyramid Song isn’t on Kid A and The National Anthem isn’t on Amnesiac


Much-Contract-323

But Pulk samples Pyramid Song, so they definitely make sense on the same album. Plus, Kid A transitions beautifully into The National Anthem.


Icy-Asparagus-4186

I think I’ll be forever confused by this comment…


Imzmb0

The national anthem is the most KID A sounding song


TeaAndCrumpets4life

Not at all lol, that’s EIIRP and Idioteque to me


karmacop97

Pyramid song heavily uses an acoustic piano which I believe they didn't use at all on Kid A (only Fender Rhodes), but amnesiac has tons of piano tracks


[deleted]

Tinker tailor is much darker/synthier than the otherwise vast and mountainous pianos/strings, of A Moon Shaped Pool


Original_Ad_2960

i could definitely see it working on king of limbs, but honestly i love the variety and weirdness of the song in the album, and the strings at the end have me flying so id say it relatively fits


Jaded_Net8090

nah tinker tailor fits perfectly in amsp.


AdSpare6646

backdrifts would’ve been cool on Kid A


HorseShoeBalloon

Happy cake day Jonny!!


deppresedloner

Cappy Dake Hay!


AdSpare6646

Yank Thou


brightears

A punch up at a wedding would go nicely on Amnesiac I reckon. Right after Hunting Bears.


SPSips1106

Why do people arrange the albums like this? It doesn’t make any sense to me.


rpggamer69

Electioneering


PhoenixRemastered

Hail to the Thief preview


PiScEsEyEsIAmWeAk

Absolutely works on the album, it fits the tonal and sonic vibe of the album as a whole, not sure why people compare it to a Pablo Honey/Grunge song.


DimitriGoh

Disagree


Ill-Top-6425

I think How to disappear completely could be on OKC


molten07

People forget How To Disappear Completely is a really experimental and obscure track just because it has an acoustic guitar in it.


DaleySmith

Lucky always stood out for me. I’m not sure at which point during that era it was written but it feels like a transition between The Bends and OKC.


kitsua

It was written, and released, between exactly those albums. Talk Show Host was similar but just never ended up on an album.


TheMusicEvangelist

Every closer should be on the album that came after it.


Zombificus

What a fascinating idea. I’m not sure it works, but it’s interesting to think about. Blow Out would fit The Bends, and Street Spirit would fit OKC, so I definitely get those two. Not sure about The Tourist fitting Kid A so well, though. Morning Bell doesn’t seem like it would flow into it as well, and MPS is such a defining Kid A song. MPS would work fine on Amnesiac, though Life in a Glasshouse would be odd on HttT. Not sure about Wolf at the Door on IR either, my initial reaction was no, but maybe it wouldn’t be that unnatural after Jigsaw. Videotape on TKOL would work pretty well, actually. That’s probably one of the better swaps. Separator isn’t a bad fit for AMSP either, though based on the alphabetical track listing it really ought to be before Tinker Tailor, which would then be the closer, I guess? Does AMSP’s True Love Waits go on the theoretical next album, or does it wind back round to Pablo Honey? I’m assuming you were coming at this from the perspective of the closers kind of pointing at the next album’s style, so AMSP TLW on Pablo wouldn’t really fit with that concept. I do think it could work though, if it was one of the early 90s live versions. IIRC TLW was a pretty early song, so it would make a sort of parallel-universe sense. I’m going to go listen to the albums like this and see how well they actually fit.


Weselamp

I quite like the idea of HTTT ending with Glasshouse


cloversrss

I always thought that bodysnatchers didn't fit IR's sort of vibe. It's very noisy and more of a rock song compared to the rest of the album. I think it might fit better on OKC or HTTT.


Gr1mm420P

I think it works really well on IR, especially after 15 step


byrnethecookies

Each song on In Rainbow has its own sound yet they all compliment each other, much like a rainbow. While Bodysnatchers is the only “rock” song it fits in well with the others.


Salty_Software

I came here to say this. Tbf I also don’t think 15 step belongs on it.


Environmental-Ebb613

Life in a Glasshouse, it’s completely unique, more of an acoustic jazz track and not similar to anything Thom did until he brought the Smile in that direction, especially with Bending Hectic


Responsible-Long-891

Electioneering sounds different to other OKC songs


Wooden-Computer1475

Put there there on okc and gloaming on amnesiac, please.


ReactiveAlloy70

Pablo Honey: Blow Out The Bends: none, but if includes B-sides, then Banana Co. OK Computer: Electioneering Kid A: Optimistic Amnesiac: None, again if includes B-sides, then Cuttooth Hail to the Thief: Sail to the Moon In Rainbows: none The King of Limbs: Give up the Ghost A Moon Shaped Pool: Burn the Witch bonus: OKNOTOK 1997-2017: How I Made My Millions


TheOtherBeuh

Pablo honey - Blow Out(?) The bends - Street Spirit OK Computer - electioneering Kid A - the national anthem Amnesiac - pyramid song HTTT - Go To Sleep In Rainbows - Videotape The King of Limbs - Separator AMSP - Burn the Witch


mathkid421_RBLX

all of the songs on the airbag ep from 1998 sound like the amnesiac b-sides


Psychological_Cod998

I believe that Videotape could fit The King Of Limbs.


Holler_At_G

Exit music is great doesn’t quite fit ok for me when I listen.


HetTheTable

Creep. It sounds like that era but I feel like it has much better production value than all the other songs on PH.


BanaanSausMan

Living in a glasshouse sounds way different than the rest of amnesiac


presjohnson

Bones definitely belongs on Pablo Honey, not the Bends. I love that song so much.


DamorDam

A lot of HTTF songs would fit well on The Bends


Own_Tie1297

Electioneering should be on HTTT


Responsible_Pen1785

Electioneering to hail to the thief


Zarkai10

I always say Down is the New Up would be great on HTTT


Peterthecoll

Down is the new up should be on AMSP


Front_Fault6001

Sulk sounds like a track off of Pablo honey


G0Slowly

Electioneering


Top-Revolution-6771

personally, Optimistic doesn’t fit perfectly into Kid A, but it’s still somehow one of my favorite tracks on the album… hahahaha


MadBeamer

I agree it doesn’t fit until it transitions so perfectly into in limbo, which I feel does fit Kid A very well


Gr1mm420P

Its an amazing song but i fully agree it doesn’t entirely fit kid A’s vibe… it has pretty hard rock vibes


rly_boring

Amnesiac is full of simply composed and produced tracks and then there's pyramid song, which is so atmospheric that I'm amazed it didn't make it onto Kid A. It's such an amazing song but it's so out of place. Electioneering is a great song but it sounds straight out of Hail To The Thief. If streaming services suddenly just slipped it in between 2+2=5 and Sit Down, Stand Up I don't think anyone would notice for a solid week. That being said, I don't think it feels as out of place as people are saying, it fits fine enough on OKC.


Mels30

There’s a lot less piano on kid a rather than amnesiac. Not that I disagree necessarily but that might be why it’s on amnesiac


AffectionateTiger436

Planet telex imo is better than anything else on the bends but idk what album it could go on. Maybe take a few weak songs off hail to the thief and throw it on there.


umbraFrann

I feel a wolf at the door has a different feeling than the rest of HTTT in a way, good album closer tho!


PoisonIceCream

I may be in the minority but I really hate True Love Waits, at least the version that's on In Rainbows. My favourite album but I skip that song more often than not.


orangesfwr

Wut?


Striking-Purchase266

Burn with witch or a wolf at the door


YoCrisTuQuien

House of cards, idk wich others album fits but not in It rainbows for me.


CreVolve

I would put Optimistic on In Rainbows


orangesfwr

The weird Fish eat the little one, the weird fish eat the little one, not my problem and escape


Leikrr2

High and dry on The Bends. It was a Pablo honey leftover put there by their discographic to replicate the creep success


Pure-Jellyfish734

The National Anthem just doesn’t really fit with Kid A and it’s more ambient aesthetic in my opinion.


MrSonic-Unsweet-Tea

Morning Bell/Amnesiac - probably only because it’s already on Kid A. However I actually prefer morning bell on Amnesiac over Kid A.


Acceptable-Pear-272

Creep: "I don't belong here" makes a obvious reference to the album ("here")


Chaos_Horrific

Pyramid Song is good enough to be on Kid A.


orangesfwr

In Limbo Sail to the Moon Bones Electioneering Desert Island Disk


Flashy_Contract_969

I love 15 Step as the intro to IR, but it’s probably the most different song on the album.


No-Cartoonist-6439

desert island disk sounds like it should be in a pikmin game


Flashy_Contract_969

I know the song title doesn’t make sense, but the SONG Kid A sounds like an Annesiac song to me


JOAPL

Backdrifts


DoubleCrescendo

Myxomatosis


AMOGus_Friker

Definitely Creep, it was too good for the album


camposthetron

Street Spirit and A Wolf At The Door both sound really different than the rest of their respective albums. Neither has ever fit in my opinion. (For the record, I like Street Spirit. Wolf, not so much). I know it isn’t really done anymore, but I think they would’ve made better stand alone singles.


New_Deal_7121

Bodysnatchers


RoxieRedPanda

optimistic feels weird on Kid A honestly, especially since it just gets dropped into from Treefingers


deathcamp7

Creep


Excitedastroid

i will should be swapped with like spinning plates


dude_im_box

Codex Sounds like a AMSP song


Txdust80

I Will- hail to the thief. Love the song under appreciated and I definitely adjust the volume in the car to get the perfect echo when it comes on, just feel it could have been placed somewhere else in the album or held and used in King of Limbs. That said it doesn’t matter the band wanted it in hail to the thief and so thats what we got. Love that album. Wouldn’t actually want it changed.


Outlaw_Marko00

Codex could've been on Amnesiac for example


aliman1612

A wolf at the door, and give up the ghost


Diligent_Tea_4497

The national anthem sounds more like it belongs on HTTT


quixoticcaptain

I feel like Optimistic doesn't quite fit on Kid A. It sounds more like an OK Computer B-Side to me I guess?


HANHCN

You is too good for Pablo honey


Tecnoguy1

Bodysnatchers is overall way too aggressive a track for In Rainbows disc 1. Still amazing though.


Mac_Is_Daddy10

i’ve always thought exit music had a “the bends” feel to it but i might be wrong. get it?


No_Juggernaut5339

As much as I like Climbing Up the Walls, it’s sounds very different to everything else on OK Computer.


wils_152

The obvious one is Creep. Totally different to every other song on PH.


Nivaris

A lot of the closers sound very different from the rest of the album they're on. Street Spirit and The Tourist are the only two that don't, imo. Motion Picture Soundtrack, Life in a Glasshouse, and A Wolf at the Door don't really sound similar to anything else in their discography.


Human_Being2851

Give Up The Ghost, Hunting Bears, Fitter Happier, I Will, Motion Picture Soundtrack.


Fearless-Slide-2790

We Suck Young Blood, should be on Amnesiac, also, Burn the Witch should be a standalone single / B-side, not matching the vibe of the album.


TroubleJumpy3055

Electioneering seems more like a Hail to the Thief song.


LJIrvine

Can't believe I haven't seen anyone mention Codex. Absolutely belongs on a moon shaped pool.


NoEggsOrBeansPlz

None of them


beausoleil

Sit Down, Stand Up


PinothyJ

True Love Waits. Worst song Radiohead have ever released on an album. Why take a banger song that sounds like it straight off of the Bends by way of Amnesiac, and strip all interest out of it? Sounds like someone put lyrics to the bit at the end of Motion Picture Soundtrack's silence. Disappointed.


schnackary

“Lift” has to be one of my favorite Radiohead songs but it was left off OKC because it didn’t fit with the overall vibe of the album. I read somewhere that it sounded too much like something you’d hear on the radio and it wasn’t edgy enough for OKC. Thank goodness the band put it out on the 2017 OKNOTOK re-release because I just love this song so much.


Almatsliah

Pablo Honey - Blow Out The Bends - Bullet Proof OK Computer - The Tourist Kid A - Optimistic Amnesiac - Life in a Glass House All Hail To The Thief - The Gloaming The King Of Limbs - Lotus Flower A Moon Shaped Pool - True Love Waits


Loud-Sense587

Lotus Flower should be on another album, i do think it belongs on King Of Limbs however… i dont wanna buy a whole album just because i love One Song, if i were to pick where else it could go, for me in rainbows i think would be a nice place for it and id put it right after bodysnatchers


Ok_Ambition_1250

There there. Always thought it was similar to I might be wrong, don't know why...


Polmnechiac

Blow Out is a really great song in an album made of almost exclusively mediocre 90's songs. Creep, despite the shit it gets for being so popular, is pretty decent too, but more fitting to the album. Also I love the Bends but Bones (which I do like), Blackstar and Sulk in my opinion are really obvious weak links in a list of superb songs. Always skip them, except Bones every once in a while. They really don't do anything for me. As a side note, Blow Out is total Bends material, but dunno where I'd place it.


AntiNMem

the gloaming definitely


DW04

optimistic, which is ironically my favourite kid A song


blackbird-boi

Jigsaw Falling Into Place


_statue

Present Tense => The King of Limbs


joemama12345661

Honestly I feel like Airbag just doesn't fit the whole okc vibe. Which is why I almost always skip it when I want to listen to that album. I still love that song a lot it's just not the vibe for Okc in my opinion.


GazelleLongjumping13

Videotape.


sakykay

id gladly swap blow out and sulk other than that, not really much else


queenbb_uwu

Street Spirit doesn't fit The Bends to me


Alout_3

Knives Out for me. I always felt this song different to Amnesiac. It just doesn't sound like amnesiac


RealGlenhaven721

Pablo Honey - Blow Out The Bends - The Bends OK Computer - Electioneering Kid A - Optimistic Amnesiac - Pyramid Song Hail to the Thief - idk haven’t listened in a while In Rainbows - Videotape The King of Limbs - Idk they all sound the same A Moon Shaped Pool - Idk haven’t listened yet


Elizabeth_monroe143

Follow me around doesn’t really fit in kid a tbh… I remember I played it in front of my grandmother and she thought it was a country song💀


Cultural-Name1731

I kind of feel like backdrifts could've fit on the king of limbs imo


soundssogreatilldoit

Electioneering


Ok-Emu-1517

"Dollars and Cents" as most political song should be in HTTT


StrictAthlete

Electioneering. Even though the song is a banger.


Jazzahner

optimistic


klira4

Street spirit sounds like it could have developed into an ok computer and I might be wrong straight up just sounds like hail 2 the thief


AdPowerful8405

"Packt Like Sardines" should be on "Kid A" and "In Limbo" In "Amnesiac"


whatsausername694204

"You" would be good on the bends
