Creep and Paranoid Android. Creep because it was from when I first started listening to alternative music; Paranoid Android because of the weird music video.

Rad giveaway. :o

My favorite song, as of now, is either 15 step or Paranoid Android. I tend to swing towards the latter, though. :]

My three favorite songs would be:
Subterranean Homesick Alien
Fake Plastic Trees
The Tourist
Everything In Its Right Place

Sadly being 18 means I haven’t had the pleasure of seeing them in concert since they rarely journey up to Minnesota, but the next time they come around I’ll be sure to go.

My favorite Radiohead song would have to be “Airbag”. Thom Yorke’s voice literally soars above the deconstructionist painting created by the band’s instrumentalists. So raw, and yet so perfect. The opening guitar riff takes me away every time.

Ah, an amazing giveaway.

My favorite Radiohead song is going to be “Go to Sleep” from HTTT. The rhythm is so comfortable when Radiohead plays it even though that time signature can be a bitch. I also just love Jonny’s guitarwork in the song.

2+2 = 5 is a good one, as is Karma Police.
I also enjoy the part of Pop is Dead mentioning the facelifts.

I’m going to see them live at the All Points West Festival this summer and am really pumped about that.
