    Nice. All 5 of those were considerations for me. Disappear, Trees and Let Down made my list but I chose House of Cards and Climbing up the Walls instead of Reckoner and There There even though it was super tough to decide.

    When I do a top 5 I usually run through every album and the b-sides in my head, making a big list that I then whittle down. Usually that first pass through ends up with about 15 songs I have to get down to five.

    With this one, I had over 30. Radiohead's infuriatingly good.

    Interesting read for Radiohead fans...Dave Matthews is apparently a massive Radiohead fan (who'd of thunk it) and wrote this really great piece about them in Rolling Stone. He nailed what I feel like when listening to Radiohead...

    Believe it or not, I really do own and love every Radiohead album. I just think that In Rainbows is by far their best work. And maybe I'm crazy, but I think it's probably the best album of the past decade. I've owned it for 7 months and I still listen to it every day. I can't be the only one, right?

    Oh no, I really like it and I wasn't trying to be an ass :D It just seemed a bit odd that a person was talking of wishing they could list 30 songs and then 4 out of the final 5 were from one album. Fair enough though, if you like it that much.

    1. Exit Music (For a Film) - Why am I the first to mention this??!!
    2. Fake Plastic Trees
    3. Everything in Its Right Place
    4. Just (You Do It to Yourself)
    5. Talk Show Host

    Although in a few months I'm sure All I Need will have crawled its way into the top 5.

    that's why I said no ties no discussion just a list of 5 songs, it was intended to be super difficult
