5. A Wolf at the Door

No other song can match up to “A Wolf At The Door” for the haunting way it sends the album ‘Hail To The Thief’ to its hauntingly magical sound. Yorke has said that this song was the product of a nervous breakdown, and that doesn’t seem like exaggeration when you give a close ear to those lyrics. This song is definitely a recommend to get a feel of Radiohead’s ridiculous amazing music.

4. Exit Music (For A Film)

This song written as a tribute to the romantic saga that Shakespeare’s Romeo Juliet is, anyone who listens to the song would agree that nothing has ever come as close to matching the spirit and emotion of Shakespeare’s original play as “Exit Music (For A Film)” does. Listen to the lyrics, the music and the way Thom Yorke sings this one, and you will fall in love with Shakespeare all over again.

3. Paranoid Android

This is one song that perfectly describes the essence of Radiohead. This may also be the weirdest of all Radiohead songs, but then that is what Radiohead is all about- weird, isn’t it?

2. Fake Plastic Trees

This song marked Radiohead’s transition from shot-in-the-dark newcomers to the status of rock preeminence that they still hold today. Besides the amazing and diverse lyrics of the song, what ultimately sells the song is the vocal performance of Thom Yorke. This kind of performance (one which allegedly caused the singer to break down in tears at its completion) is why we listen to music.

1. Let Down

This may not be the most well-known Radiohead song, but this the one song that most believe to be the one perfect song but Radiohead. Give a close ear to the lyrics by Thom Yorke, and the way he sings it, and you will know why this one is the number one on this list. Image credit: Twitter/Facebook
