Worst Radiohead Songs

The Top Ten
1 House of Cards

I agree House of Cards is radioheads lamest song. But other song in your list are surely incredibly misplayed. My iron lung? I will! Holy hell these are top 10. But kudos for seeing through house of cards.

This song shouldn't be here. I realize this one was slow but come on, we all loved "Nude", so why can't this be just as appreciated.

probably not the worst.. but one of the worst from their lead singles
the song just doesn't lift...

I completely disagree. This song is full of emotion, and glory. So sad to see that it's number 1.

2 Pulk / Pull Revolving Doors

At the first time I listen this song, I don't like it. But now, this song is the reason to listen amnesiac album. This song isn't that bad.

Most pretentious song title. Ever.

This one is actually pretty cool

3 Myxomatosis (Judge, Jury & Executioner)

I've got to admit that Hail to the Thief has to be their poorest record since Pablo Honey. So I can understand why three tracks of this album are currently in the top 10.

And honestly I do not understand why so many songs of The Bends are in the top 10 now, these (especially (Nice Dream) and Bullet Proof... I Wish I Was) are great!

Finally, the only reason Creep is up here as well is because of the hipsters and elitists. Sure, there may be better records that do not get the recognition the possibly overrated Creep has received, but it is still a killer track and an absolute classic!

Initially I enjoyed this song, but after a few weeks I began to get annoyed and bored with it. For me this was one of those catchy songs, that sounds good quickly and fades out losing it lustre quickly after;for me many songs that I enjoy quickly don't have 'staying power'-this was one of them.

I like this song, not one of my favourites, but I have to disagree with the person who said this was one of the poorest since Pablo Honey

It’s good until that annoying synth comes in. The song was supposed to be fun and groovy but that synth is really creepy and out of place.

4 (Nice Dream)

What? This song is good, yes it's not their best but it is a very nice song. Far worse songs should be higher than this. There's a song on my iron ling rap called lozenge of love which in my opinion is just boring and doesn't sound too good.

My Iron Lung is one of their best songs. This, on the other hand, is terrible.

More like boring dream? I don't know, just don't like this song much.

5 Bullet Proof...I Wish I Was

This is such an amazing song and so is nice dream

6 My Iron Lung

Seriously, this is the WORST radiohead song ever. followed by pulk pull revolving doors. the first two miniutes are good. then it suddenly becomes extremely lame.

This is a good song, at least I think so

Great song, keep it up.

And again... Boring to me

7 Pop is Dead

This is why this website doesn't work - people vote without listening to all the songs in the top 10. If they did this song would easily be number 1 - it's by far their worst song!

None of these songs are that bad, personally,I'm yet to find a "bad" radiohead song. But this one is my least favourite on here.

On this list, there are good songs, and "Pop Is Dead".

Yes this one is their worst

8 Creep

This is by far my least favorite radiohead song. I am a huge radiohead fan (I have all their albums, yes even horrible Pablo honey) but I hate creep. I do love the message that creep is conveying in its lyrics, but I can't stand the song.

I hate how many people only like Creep and Karma Police, (and I hate how they think karma police is a depressing song)

They say I love Radiohead, but only listen to creep!

It's funny to see that this has been voted the tenth worst but on its also on the top 10 best Radiohead songs at number 4

So overrated - it's extremely repetitive and uninteresting, both musically and lyrically!

9 The Gloaming

This is... Actually a great song. The lyrics are great and its just so creepy & weird. I like!

10 Treefingers

Ok this song is terrible but some of these songs are amazing like the gloaming, I will, nice dream is ok, myxomatosis used to be my favourite song and bullet proof that's probably the most amazing relaxing brilliant awesomest ever song that they have ever made it's the best! I can't believe you put it on the worst list let alone 5th to the worst I am disgraced I thought radiohead fans knew what real music was but clearly not

There are songs of this kind that are beautiful, but this is just... boring. I also didn't like House Of Cards at the start, but then I started to pay attention to the constant guitar riff, and I loved it. That's the greatest thing of the song, the guitar. I understand that you may not like it, but there are other songs that are worst.

This is absolutely nothing and hence incredibly tedious. Everything in the top ten except this and Revolving Doors is good. And House of Cards rules.

Not a terrible song, but I find my self bored with it in it's placement in KID A-it's a let down after HtDC, but I suppose that is the purpose of it, but it just doesn't work fully for me.

The Contenders
11 I Will
12 We Suck Young Blood

Not a bad stand alone song by any stretch of the imagination but in it's album it's atrocious, and I don't see a moment where it could have been fine
If it was a b-side I'm sure it would have been praised

My opinion for the worst Radiohead song. Extremely slow, boring, and not pretty.

This song actively hurts to listen to.

13 Lurgee
14 Morning Mr. Magpie
15 Fitter Happier

I know it's supposed to be social commentary and all that, but for me all it does is mark the end of the first half of OK Computer. Honestly it feels more pretentious than insightful.

16 You Never Wash Up After Yourself
17 Melatonin
18 I Am a Wicked Child
19 Bangers & Mash

I'm sure many will disagree with me on this one, and that is their right, but for me next to HOC this is my least favorite of IR.

20 Lozenge of Love
21 Coke Babies
22 How Do You?

This song, as I'm writing this, is behind House of Cards, Myxomatosis, Nice Dream, and Bulletproof. I think it's worse than all four of those. Cheesy lyrics, way too short, and sounds too much like Dinosaur Jr without the pizazz.

The worst song on Radiohead's worst album, still better than a few other's though.

23 MK2
24 Kid A

It's not a bad song. The instrumental background and melody are pretty well throughout, but the vocals just ruin it. I'm serious the vocals just give me a head ache, it sounds like a prepubescent robot trying to sing but know they can't

It is just noise, but it probably is their best album, excluding this song it is probably a perfect record.

25 Feral

This is really eerie.
