My top 5 Radiohead songs Feb24 '02

I just got a new Radiohead bootleg – it’s called "Later with J. Holland." It was recorded September 6, 2001. They play "Life In a Glass House," and it is incredible. I’ve loved that song since I first heard it, and I think is has slowly worked its way into my top 5 Radiohead favorite songs. Dare I ever make such a list? How could I possibly, with over 100 amazing songs, how can I possibly pick my top 5? It would constantly be changing. But let’s say I have a gun to my head and I’m being forced to pick my top 5 favorite songs – here’s what they’d be right now:

That wasn’t easy to do. Instead of saying they are my top 5 FAVORITE, let’s just say they are the top 5 MOST LISTENED TO.

"Lull" and "Let Down" can interchange, and I also found it extremely hard to leave out "Paranoid Android," among many others.

The part of "Life In A Glass House" that really gives me goosebumps is at 3:30 – after the second refrain, right before Thom goes into singing "Only, Only, Only, etc." The piano kicks in at full force and I’m stunned.
