1. 2+2=5: Perfectly sums up the Radiohead i love the most, paranoid, schizo and on the edge. I was blown away the first time i heard it.
2. Paranoid Android: It's such an obvious one but it's easily one of their best moments and is one of the best risks they've taken. Essential.
3. Polyethylene (Parts 1 and 2): The enormous anthem that never was.
4. The National Anthem: THAT bassline. When it's at its climax with the horns blaring it's enough to give me chills.
5. Sail To The Moon: An underrated gem if you ask me, the best of their piano led songs.
6. Blow Out: The best track off Pablo Honey, it's a shame it was on that album as i believe this song will never get the credit it deserves because of it.
7. Kid A: A gorgeous mellow track, almost like a lullaby.
8. The Bends: A great slice of 90's british pop that was just that little bit more offbeat than the other stuff at the time.
9. Idioteque: The first time i heard it i nearly had a heart-attack, the band who did Creep did this? The more you hear it the more you love it, another essential.
10. Palo Alto: I think their Pixies infactuation is on show the most here (and Creep of course), it's the blasts of noise that make it.
