It's got 44k views. I'd say 30k of them are just from me watching it over and over again.

I love watching them play as much as I love listening to them

The cover versions of 'Ceremony' and 'The Headmaster Ritual' from that session are outstanding.

And thats why loads of people hate them.

Fúcking awful band. As pretentious as you'll get and the singer is a bobble headed warbler in love with his own moaning voice.

People hate them because other people love them. Wow, i suppose that makes sense in some twisted way

Honest question, what's wrong with being pretentious? And, Radiohead are not. Bell X1 are more pretentious, and mediocre.

Heard about that. The hacker demanded a ransom of 130k not to release it all. They released it themselves instead.

Is there a tracklist available of this material?

It's fan produced but is pretty accurate...

I kinda gave up on Radiohead after Hail to the Thief. It all just became too much like hard work......I do love that they do their own thing and push their boundaries though.

I'd be in the "like them a lot". But wouldn't be a die-hard. I think In rainbows in fantastic. Reckoner is one of my favourite tunes. Never get sick of it. Saw them last year in 3 Arena. Twas very good. I saw them back in '90s as well when they played in some field in the suburbs of Galway. Around the time The Bends was out. Great fun.
You'd really have to give them credit for the way they evolved their music when the likes of oasis etc were just churning out the same tempo tunes for years and years and still getting the plaudits.

Missing out on In Rainbows is an indictable offence.

Thom Yorke and Paul Thomas Anderson have a short film on Netflix now called Anima. Fifteen minutes, three songs, no dialogue, kinda an extended music video maybe.

I can understand how HTTT would put some fans off. For a start, it's about four or five songs too long. The band have admitted as much.

Not their finest hour but it still contains some real gems (Sail to the Moon, Scatterbrain, Wolf at the Door, 2+2=5.........)

I was at that Galway gig too in 1996. The Cardigans and Neneh Cherry were the support acts.

I had seen them in the Olympia two days before. What a show that was.

Have seen them play live 20 times since my first Radiohead gig in 1995. They continue to blow my mind to this day.

I just discovered scotch mist where they perform 'in rainbows'. IMO it is even better than 'from the basement'!
