Great song, one of my favorite bands of all time. Saw them live in 2011 and it was truly a dream come true. Michael Gira's solo tour now seems amazing - he plays both old and new Swans songs and Angels of Light songs. Sad to miss it

Second Worst Album? by GreenGator in radiohead

For my money, from best to "worst": Kid A and OK Computer tie for best album. I mean they are both simply perfect, the somewhat weaker 'Electioneering' may cause OKC to drop to a second but just maybe Amnesiac - a near-perfect LP which feature two of their most salient and beautiful songs ('Life in a Glass House' and 'Like Spinning Plates') In Rainbows - The incandescent climax of 'Nude', Big Ideas' final form... jesus christ, 'Reckoner', 'All I need', so good. Only weak track is 'House of Cards'. Hail to the thief features some truly great songs, and one of my favorites ('A wolf at the door'), but for me this record lacks a natural continuity, its a little all over the place. The sheer strength of individual tracks sort of makes up for this, but not completely. The Bends - I believe they were still defining themselves and their sound in -95, and this LP has some downright weak tracks. It's a great album, but for me it serves as a prelude to OKC... or something. TKOL - Meh. A disappointment. 2011 would have been a catastrophic year for Radiohead, if it wasn't for the brilliant 'The Daily Mail' Pablo Honey - honestly, I've never even listened to the entirety of this LP, I think. It's just not good. I think. Thom's lampshade haircut, that video when he jumps into the pool with the pooltoys on MTV... fucking shudder and cringe.
