Best Songs From Radiohead's Kid A

The Top Ten
1 How to Disappear Completely

To think that one would put this song below Idioteque (and any other for that matter) is the biggest travesty in existance; the fact that it's ranked higher is the greatest catastrophe known to the world.

7. Morning Picture Soundtrack
8. Kid A
9. In Limbo
10. Treefingers

probably the best album I have heard in all my life

What's not to like about this ghostly song? It's absolutely incredible, sad, and absolutely beautiful. I love the ending; this song is auspicious and worth it's long duration!

I agree. this song gives me chills every time. It's very emotionally raw and sad and beutifull and you really feel for thom yorke. He is introvert and like me and I relate.

2 Idioteque

I seriously don't get why so many people think this song is SO great. I see it on countless top 10 lists, many of them having it at the top. Why? Maybe it's because I'm a more rock oriented person, but this track is just meh to me. It goes on WAY too long and the drum beat is extremely repetitive, just like a lot of the other songs on this album. I'm certain I will get hate for this statement, but this opinion has been trapped inside of me for too long.

Why do I like this song? Simple answer: the beats, the tune and Thom's rapping. This song may drag on a bit and seem dull, but it is still a great track and a good addition to the album.

This song is so experimental, Strange, dystopian and at the same time very beautiful and passionate!

As good as this song is, the "live in oxford" version on I might be wrong blows it out of the water!

3 Everything in Its Right Place

Obviously. This song's opening is probably the best after In Limbo, and Thom's odd, creepy but amazing vocals match perfectly to make this song an opener to the album. And it's ending; pure bliss!

Probably Radiohead's second best song. Even though I am a huge Radiohead fan I think that the singles can be some of the best songs. No Surprises is my favorite by the way

This song is creepy, calm, confusing, and happy and has some of the collest sounding instruments

This is my favorite Radiohead song by far

4 The National Anthem

I can't get enough of this song: The devilish bass, the perfect drums, the haunting background, the epic trumpets, thom's glassy vocals etc. A must hear for everyone, this is an amazing song!

I love the experimentation in this one. From the chaotic horn section to the fun yet unsettling bassline, this has always been a personal favorite. I hope to someday write a song like this.

When the Brass comes in it's just so groovy, excellent song

The bass and drums on this song... just perfect!

5 Optimistic

Awesome song that seems impossible to dislike! The catchy rhythmic guitar and the tribal drums along with Yorke's vocals; this song rocks!

I'm always wondering is this song ironic or really optimistic - all in all nice guitar piece off the album dominated by electronic elements.

The best you can is good enough.

This ones optimistic, love it

6 Motion Picture Soundtrack

This one is very serene, but kind of haunting too with the organ and the demented lyric "I will see you in the next life! " It's a very nice track, but eerie, and drags on to 7 minutes when it's only 3 plus a weird, random orchestra that approaches midway, that ends the song.

Hauntingly beautiful requiem with a magical closing sequence. The funereal pipe organ, the beautiful, flickering harps, and the lyrics.

This has got to be one of their best songs. If not one of their most beautiful.
From the organs to the harps and everything else.

Kid A(song) is NOT better than this.

7 Kid A

A melancholy, creepy track and the title-of-the-album-song. The beautiful piano, background and bass are amazing... But the voice and ending of that crying baby freak me out! Overall, it's a fine track.

8 In Limbo

Incredible, mind- blowing track from this amazing album. Starting off with a slow guitar, it picks up the beautiful rhythm so easily and randomly, and it maintains it throughout. Art!

Close your eyes and listen to this song, you feel like you're floating down a lazy river during the verse then flying through mountains during the chorus

Oh man this one is so underrated, it's better than kid a and morning bell at least. it has a very psycedelic vibe to it, feels very alice in wonderland-ish to me

A great rhythm and cool vocals

9 Morning Bell

The eeriest song of the album; being about divorce. "Cut the kids in half", seriously? But this song has a soft, beautiful spot to it, and when you hear it all, you'll love it!

Great song with melodic bass line and sweet vocals.

10 Treefingers

OK, some of you might be mad. This song is absolute bliss and eerieness in the beautiful way. But it's only that melancholy violin for 4 minutes, and you know, the others have more than that...

The Contenders
11 Untitled

This and motion picture sound track are the most beautiful moments in radiohead's career. It ends so fast though. If only there was more. Oh well.

I wouldn't consider this a song on its own, but if it was, that would make me pretty happy.

You forgot untitled. I hate how fast it ends because it's so beautiful.

I love how this song is a small ending to a much bigger album
