Dear Radiohead, Please play your hits

[Miroir Noir]

I hope they play Personal Jesus

Radiohead doesn't have any radio hits, except Creep. At least not here.

Radiohead doesn't have any radio hits, except Creep. At least not here.

Where I live, Karma Police (which they won't play) and Idioteque (which they won't play) are on the radio frequently.

I'd be surprised if they play anything before OK Computer.

[dorkfish]

Pretty sure that they announced that they were rehearsing less songs for this tour than usual. So it'll probably be similar to all of the Roseland shows setlists from last fall: Most of King of Limbs and the follow-up singles, a lot of In Rainbows and then concert mainstays like "I Might Be Wrong", "Everything In Its Right Place", "National Anthem", and a rotating assortment of a few other songs from OK Computer, The Bends and Kid A. I'd be shocked if Coachella got anything "special" out of them.

[Phunkevil]

The new material barely worked at Roseland. Prepare for disappointment.

[KidRobot]

I like all of Radiohead's stuff (except Pablo Honey) but I clearly have my favorites. I won't mind a Kid A/In Rainbows-heavy set, especially since In Rainbows is one of my favorite albums, but the song I want to hear the most live is "Idioteque." If they play that, I'll be happy with anything else they decide to play.

I love you......

[darkmoon66]

I am looking forward to seeing the King Of Limbs stuff performed live, but they will be amazing no matter what they play.

[Miroir Noir]

You wanted a hit. But maybe we don't do hits.

Their best chart is Billboard's "Alternative Songs" (formerly "Modern Rock"), where they've had 13 songs chart.

[Mugwog]

It would be kind of hilarious to have half the crowd drunk singing Creep really loud, while the other half crosses their arms and states to a friend, "They are only playing this because GV made them, these jerks don't know anything about King of Limbs"

[bganch]

This may be your greatest post ever, supre. Fucking outstanding. Well done.

Really? I was thinking he tried WAY too hard there... When guedita does it, it's whatever - when Supre does it, it's just useless dribble.

[DFrank]

SHUT UP AND PLAY THE HITS

[bganch]

Idioteque and whatever else they want to play will be fine by me.

[Phunkevil]

Idioteque is too popular.

[bganch]

most likely...

[Mugwog]

Radiohead is too popular for Radiohead

[Pumpkinhead33]

Let Down isn't a "hit." But it'd make my entire weekend.

[brycerosen]

Ok, you have a fucking problem.


High and Dry
Fake Plastic Trees
Paranoid Android
Karma Police

Creep, Karma police, and high and dry are the only three "radio hits" in their entire catalog

[lookalive24]

If only they made Paranoid Android (radio edit)...

[Neighborhood Creep]

[suprefan]

Creep, Karma police, and high and dry are the only three "radio hits" in their entire catalog

Because thats all you ever heard on the radio yourself? So Paranoid hitting # 3 and Fake Plastic Trees hitting # 11 doesnt mean shit, right?

[DeadSkin]

Bloom (extended intro)
Optimistic
2+2=5
Subterranean Homesick Alien

[santasutt]

Any band can shit the bed any night.

BTW, King of Limbs = not amazing.

I hope they do a Weezer cover.

[lostatlimbo]

wait am I the only person that likes King of Limbs better than In Rainbows?

Nope. There are at least 2 of us.

[amyzzz]

Ok, you have a fucking problem.


High and Dry
Fake Plastic Trees
Paranoid Android
Karma Police

Ok, you are partially right. I have heard High and Dry and Karma Police on the radio here, but not the others. Mostly it's just Creep and Karma Police. and Mostly MOSTLY Creep. And they are touring here in AZ, so it is important to state that, although we only have one teeny low power alternative local radio station left now, which probably does not play Radiohead at all..

[DeadSkin]

^ Wait teh radio playz RadioHeadz? They sell-outs!

[sonofhal]

The most amazing thing about this thread is that people still actually listen to the radio.
