I watched the final epic episode of 'Peaky Blinders' last night, [Season 4] and in a series which has featured some brilliant music, this song stood out - played in full near the end of the programme, it reminded me of how talented and innovative Radiohead had been in their earlier days.

I bought their first six albums, then just sort of stopped listening to them.

This is 'The Pyramid Song' from the album 'Amnesiac' [2001]

A little like Burnley Football Club under Sean Dyche...

That'll teach me to post a link without watching it through first. Below a link to a live version of "Black Star" without the kn**head in the middle ruining it!

they've always been super-talented but they've been more innovative, evolved and got better as they've got older.

So many great songs.

Everything In It's Right Place is a particular favourite of mine; Kid A was such a brave album to follow OK Computer with and as a statement of intent for an opening track it was jaw dropping, as well as being great in its own right.

'Everything In It's Right Place ' ... another reference to Dyches Burnley Team.

Rumour has it that Defour is Fitter, Happier

'Fake Plastic Trees' from 'The Bends' [1995]

- excellent musicians the lot of them.

If ever I want cheering up, I just bung Radiohead on the gramophone and hey presto,
I feel like I'm alive.

Well, compared to them, I suppose I am.

I can go quite a long time not listening to Radiohead and not missing it but then I hear them, am reminded just how brilliant they are and will then binge on them for days as far as music is concerned. The Bends is about the best indie/rock album I know and the more recent "weirder" stuff is seriously addictive once you get into it.

I'm sure this track was used in a previous Peaky Blinders series Hampstead...You and Whose Army

A big tip for anyone who likes OK Computer as an album (and if you don't you're wrong) is to get hold of the 3 extra tracks , I Promise, Lift and Man Of War, released on this year's anniversary re-release. They are every bit as good as the stuff released on the album at the time.

Simply brilliant.

Radiohead are dire. The have only 1 good song which is obviously creep apart from that it's all depressing drivel.

- 'which is obviously 'creep'..

Really?

At a guess most Radiohead fans not too keen on that song.

No. Creep is a really good song. Bur thwre are a hell if a lot more.

I'm not a Radiohead fan. Find them awful. I'd rather listen to Daniel O'Donnell than Radiohead.

That says more about you than Radiohead. Regular visitor to Daniel's house?

Agree 10bellies

Here's another from the Bends - described in Q as "a powerful, bruised record of frighteningly good songs" which is a perfect summary.

It's hard to pick one from that album as the best but as this kicked in the first time you knew the album is going to be a great ride.
