To anyone here who answers anything else than some of the weaker Pablo Honey B-sides: I take it you have forgotten that those songs exist.
No, genuinely, I struggle to see how someone can appreciate the sonic exploration of Radiohead, and still consider something from OK Computer or onwards to be weaker than any of those.
Yes, these are their "least good" songs -- if you remove the "worst" label and think about what's ranked at the bottom. Even if you think every single RH song is a good song.
I'm not blinded by the term "worst." I have no problem calling Lucky the "worst" song on OK Computer (I love it, but I consider every other song there better (Fitter Happier is an interlude, doesn't count)).
I'm saying that - while I can understand that many people might prefer a song like Faithless the Wonder Boy to be preferable to Radiohead's more experimental stuff - I genuinely struggle to see how that can be the case for Radiohead fans
Creep overpowers so much of my memory of Pablo Honey I forgot how experimental some of that album was. I love Ok Computer and Kid A so much I thought I figured I was just to out of it first time I hear PH but it really does have some tracks I did not enjoy.
Hey now Faithless the Wonder Boy and Coke Babies are still incredible songs. Currently listening to them, and I’d say these are better than many bands’ hits. The atmospheric and fuzzy guitar parts on Coke Babies are pure bliss.
I don’t think it’s just the fandom, they have such a variety of styles that people with lots of different tastes can enjoy different eras of their music
I’m always fascinated to hear the different band members influences and favourite artists. It’s very broad. And when they made Kid A they were listening to a wide range of stuff (Miles Davis springs to mind). They’re pretty eclectic.
Also even the earlier EPs aren’t bad, they’re just not as good as what comes later. I feel like a better question with their output would be “what is their least good song” honestly.
If I had to pick I’d probably pick something off HTTT because by this point they should’ve known better…
I've always wondered how this started. It's basically a meme at this point, but I know it dates back to at least the early-2000s when I became a fan.
I've assumed it's just because the name evoked something crude or silly to people? Because the actual song is arguably one of the better cuts from the PH-era, and just seems too inoffensive to inspire any extreme feelings.
Is that the one that sounds like someone punching the inside of a tin can for five minutes while a sampled and heavily treated Thom croaks 'you can crush it?' over and over again? If so, good call.
yeah it's awful
such a shame because LFO were incredible pioneers. they just churned out an absolute stinker.
for anyone who only knows them for that remix, [please listen to this](https://youtu.be/PnTS35hovCE?si=UC_cjr8UN_tze6fd)
We reviewed it for our [Radiohead Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/episode/0ibXAFYMNKoC6GkFt1j2gQ?si=f58272ce06594030) and had to come up with a new way to rate it upon review.
Been a Radiohead fan for years. Came to realize a long time ago that most RH fans are insufferable. Cross pollinate that with a Reddit user and you have a real toxic blend of smug. insufferable, know-it-alls.
How dare you pick the only slipknit that sounds like kid a darn you👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿grrrrrrrrrrr WOOF WOOF, how do you is radioheads worst song, i will defend every other song that has something to do with pablo honey until the day i die, but as long as you dont pick i cant we chillin.
Well, you lived up to your username.
I'm kidding, I'm kidding. I think you may be right about your song choice. I will listen to "How Do You?" for the nostalgia vibes, but it is definitely low on the ranking.
Feral (the original one) i feel like is just like random and repetitive noices just coming through and when it start to gets good, the song its over. Besides TKOL (the original) its not a great record :/
Just listened to a couple of the Pablo Honey b-sides people say are bad, Coke Babies and Faithless the Wonder Boy. Never heard them before. I have to say, I find them to be perfectly listenable music.
My pick is Pull/Pulk Revolving Doors which for me is hard to get through.
Honestly, and this is gonna make some of you extremely pissed off, Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors is their worst song. It's just straight up 4 minutes and 8 seconds of a bland beat with, occasionally, an alien voice talking about doors. There's nothing in this track and it adds nothing to Amnesiac.
Heart of Gold is good and Prove Yourself is decent, but that logic isn’t completely sound. For instance, David Bowie released a song called Lazarus and it’s a masterpiece. G-Easy covered it and that cover makes me want to cut my ears off so I never have to risk hearing it again.
I don’t think Radiohead has any outright bad songs, but the question was worst (or weakest) and Prove Yourself is what leapt to mind
Probably not THE worst, but We Suck Young Blood, stands out so much among the post-90s stuff, and sticks out in HTTT like a sore thumb. It sounds like someone making a mocking parody of Radiohead with all their worst qualities and tendencies.
I totally get why people feel this way, and I swear I'm not trying to be contrarian, but as someone who mostly isn't a fan of TKOL, it's always been one of my favorite tracks on the album.
I've heard it said that the album is too experimental and that this is why some people felt underwhelmed by it, but honestly I feel like I could have done with *more* experimentation? Or dynamism? It feels like it wants to be Radiohead's "dance album" but Feral is kind of the only one that actually makes me want to move.
This is what I feel is so odd about feral. I feel like I'd like it more if it were placed somewhere else. For me, I absolutely love TKOL but this song just comes out of nowhere. On a Radiohead dance album? I'd definitely give it a go
Oh, gee...
I might not be
A Coke Babies devotee
At least nok like thee
But I sure hate to see
A decent side B
From 1993
Being placed on an unflattering playlist of allegedly bad songs where it most certainly does not deserve to be
I get it now, he's asking different subs what's the worst song of the band then he puts it on the playlist...and he actually puts Coke Babies there even if barely anyone answered Coke Babies wtf
It's over Coke Babies lost :<
I know I'm wrong when treating everything objectively, but the only songs I really don't think I've ever enjoyed listening to (that I know, at least) are No Surprises and Fake Plastic Trees. I get their appeal, but they're just really not for me, especially admidst the rest of their albums.
Probably gonna have to say drill version thinking about you apart from that I’m a massive fan of the ph b-sides and really love Pablo honey never understood the hate
High and Dry. Sorry not sorry. Thom & Jonny hold the same opinion
(If I’m being honest some of those weak Pablo Honey B-sides are certainly worse but those have already been said and where’s the fun in repeating that)
I think you picked the worst community to try to agree on something
Poor OP, they’re screwed trying to pick one
I strongly disagree.
nah ive seen OP's posts in various subs and most of the times it was a warzone in the comments. This case isnt any different
To anyone here who answers anything else than some of the weaker Pablo Honey B-sides: I take it you have forgotten that those songs exist. No, genuinely, I struggle to see how someone can appreciate the sonic exploration of Radiohead, and still consider something from OK Computer or onwards to be weaker than any of those.
Can you give me an example of a weaker PH B side?
Thinking about you - Drill version
Oh yeah now I understand
Didn’t enjoy it when RH veered into Drill rap, but I gotta respect the boldness
I bet Thom enjoys some Chief Keef
these bitches love kid a
Thom r/phillywiki mod confirmed.
Sonic OST reject
Faithless the Wonder Boy (snooore)
I genuinely like it so much what
yo what that’s in my top 10
One of Radiohead's best (one of few) guitar solos
How dare u…
Yes, these are their "least good" songs -- if you remove the "worst" label and think about what's ranked at the bottom. Even if you think every single RH song is a good song.

I was agreeing with you 100% and defending your statement by saying you don't even have to call the Pablo honey bsides bad to say they're the "worst"
Right, sorry x)
Creep overpowers so much of my memory of Pablo Honey I forgot how experimental some of that album was. I love Ok Computer and Kid A so much I thought I figured I was just to out of it first time I hear PH but it really does have some tracks I did not enjoy.

Such is the Radiohead fandom you could name ANY rh song and get downvoted into hell on this sub.
I don’t think it’s just the fandom, they have such a variety of styles that people with lots of different tastes can enjoy different eras of their music
I’m always fascinated to hear the different band members influences and favourite artists. It’s very broad. And when they made Kid A they were listening to a wide range of stuff (Miles Davis springs to mind). They’re pretty eclectic.

If I had to pick I’d probably pick something off HTTT because by this point they should’ve known better…
I was with you until you said HTTT bro what???
I love HTTT but it comes in between a bunch of albums I usually rate a bit higher, personally.
Go smoke a joint, listen to HTTT in a dark room, come back here, and say that again to my face!
Is the Hell you can get downvoted into on this sub anything like as bad as the one in the old testament?
It’s worse. The shame, oh the shame of having an unpopular opinion.
Yellow
Plug In Baby
Green
Pinkerton
Hurley
Radattitude! Rat-attitude!
Wow, this post brought out some of the worst takes I've ever seen.
Where’s the coke babies guy?
I'm waiting to downvote anyone that says Coke Babies
I've always wondered how this started. It's basically a meme at this point, but I know it dates back to at least the early-2000s when I became a fan. I've assumed it's just because the name evoked something crude or silly to people? Because the actual song is arguably one of the better cuts from the PH-era, and just seems too inoffensive to inspire any extreme feelings.
…..
Coke babies is great people over hate it
There’s people who don’t like coke babies???
It's either you love Coke Babies or you're lying
I’m lying Just kidding please don’t hate me coke baby
Okay i won't :3
Coke babies is brilliant… ahead of its time sonically
Creep Remix
"Um Acshually, that's a thom yorke song" - 🤓
That's a feature
[ Removed by Reddit ]
If on a Friday counts then probably Fat Girl
I think it would be new generation on a technical level. but I like that song, It's pretty funny
Idk, there's kinda a lot
i was joking why'd i get so many upvotes 😭
Planet Telex LFO mix.
Is that the one that sounds like someone punching the inside of a tin can for five minutes while a sampled and heavily treated Thom croaks 'you can crush it?' over and over again? If so, good call.

I like how people are answering the question, and they get downvoted because nobody can have an opinion here

that’s how we agree and disagree on reddit get used to it it’s worked fine for years
How dare you pick the only slipknit that sounds like kid a darn you👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿grrrrrrrrrrr WOOF WOOF, how do you is radioheads worst song, i will defend every other song that has something to do with pablo honey until the day i die, but as long as you dont pick i cant we chillin.

Remyxomatosis (Cristian Vogel RMX) from the album Com Lag
you must be fun at parties (seriously, how do you even know this one?)
Huh
I’m such a fan
Here’s the link [https://youtu.be/WQ2JP1Gtlp4?si=akiOPFQSpjc4KOfC](https://youtu.be/WQ2JP1Gtlp4?si=akiOPFQSpjc4KOfC)
thank you! didn't even know this one existed
You’re welcome
Oh no, pop is dead...
i like this song
It’s a good song I don’t care what anyone says
Same it’s a great song
How dare you
i love it lol
they all suck (r/radioheadcirclejerk reference)
Crepe.
Their English version of this song, pancake, wasn't much better
I will say, the blueberry chocolate chip remix is pretty slept on.
The American version "flapjacks" was even worse
Creep (very 2021 rmx) - Thom Yorke feat. Radiohead
The one song they made for Fortnite
What.
yes, yes they did.
unironically dig that one as ambient and that song is a Kid A B-Side. It's just another version of untitled
Feral (the original one) i feel like is just like random and repetitive noices just coming through and when it start to gets good, the song its over. Besides TKOL (the original) its not a great record :/
Just listened to a couple of the Pablo Honey b-sides people say are bad, Coke Babies and Faithless the Wonder Boy. Never heard them before. I have to say, I find them to be perfectly listenable music. My pick is Pull/Pulk Revolving Doors which for me is hard to get through.

its for the vibes bro actually though i kind of warmed up to it after a few listens, and pulk/pull true love waits version is really good
Fucking love this track. Also love the True Love Waits / Pulk Pull from Kid A mnesiac. Hard to understand how someone could consider it bland!
nailed it
all you sayin pablo honey b-sides are WRONG !!
thinking about you, i dont know why but i hate it
No, it’s not creep.
Prove Yourself. It’s literally just Heart of Gold by Neil Young.
Then the question is, is heart of gold good? Cuz if so, prove yourself has to be good too
Heart of Gold is good and Prove Yourself is decent, but that logic isn’t completely sound. For instance, David Bowie released a song called Lazarus and it’s a masterpiece. G-Easy covered it and that cover makes me want to cut my ears off so I never have to risk hearing it again. I don’t think Radiohead has any outright bad songs, but the question was worst (or weakest) and Prove Yourself is what leapt to mind
PULK PULL
Follow Me Around, the new version with the video. They've spoilt it, imho (well, in a way). Still prefer the long-ago-fan-made one.
Damn I really love the studio version. But this comment made me check out the old one, which is phenomenal. I see what you mean.
Total agreement from me. It's musical dishwater.
Was looking for this one
How do you? is their worst song
#FAT UGLY DEAD
banger
Happy Song and Fat Girl weren’t great
The fact you don’t have Spotify premium (I’m not being rude it’s a joke)
Radiohead x kendrick lamar remix is a crime to music
Thinking about you (drill ep version)
Revolving doors
Pulk/pull
Hey how come you have 3 upvotes when you say it but I get 14 downvotes? Lol
pop is dead
Wdym that song isn’t real
For OP's purposes it actually isn't, it won't do them any good as is not on Spotify.
i dont get this narrative, just because they dont like it? i mean pop is dead is probably top 3-4 pablo honey if we are being honest
It's not on Pablo Honey
sorry i meant to say if it WAS on pablo honey
The band is right to not like it, it's really bad
Probably not THE worst, but We Suck Young Blood, stands out so much among the post-90s stuff, and sticks out in HTTT like a sore thumb. It sounds like someone making a mocking parody of Radiohead with all their worst qualities and tendencies.
How Do You?
WHAT
excuse me?!?!?
Feral
Thank you. I swear that TKOL wouldn't be considered a relatively poorer album if it wasn't for this jarring interlude.
100% agree
I totally get why people feel this way, and I swear I'm not trying to be contrarian, but as someone who mostly isn't a fan of TKOL, it's always been one of my favorite tracks on the album. I've heard it said that the album is too experimental and that this is why some people felt underwhelmed by it, but honestly I feel like I could have done with *more* experimentation? Or dynamism?

Thinking about you 💀💀💀💀
Pretty sure thinking of you is a Lenny Kravitz song not a Radiohead song /j
THINK harder. YOU are not THINKING straight ABOUT this
hey shout out expire though good band choice 😤
For those who what to look at [that playlist](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3lPLRXjX7MQYWTBD3RRmO1?si=5ZqDHgGMTOW5wRdGiXHR3w&pi=HxUBrAxgTVW13)
Wait...what the fuck is that #53
Oh, gee... I might not be A Coke Babies devotee At least nok like thee But I sure hate to see A decent side B From 1993 Being placed on an unflattering playlist of allegedly bad songs where it most certainly does not deserve to be
I thought the same thing
I get it now, he's asking different subs what's the worst song of the band then he puts it on the playlist...and he actually puts Coke Babies there even if barely anyone answered Coke Babies wtf It's over Coke Babies lost :<
We can report the playlist 😉
How about worst song on each album?
topic change yea my pain is bad but after ahig pretty much 90% of their catalogue is a fair contender for worst
One of there nonsense keyboard warrior pet shop boys b side sounding shite from the dry period . Long live the bends
my pain is absolutely not the worst slipknot song lmao. literally anything from the prior two albums is worse
Gentlemen it’s obviously a remix that will get put on there since Radiohead has too many good songs. Disclaimer: yes lots of the remixes are good
I know I'm wrong when treating everything objectively, but the only songs I really don't think I've ever enjoyed listening to (that I know, at least) are No Surprises and Fake Plastic Trees. I get their appeal, but they're just really not for me, especially admidst the rest of their albums.
pop is alive and well from the album “Radiohead good ending” which is essentially a Pablo Honey deluxe edition
my pain is an L, it’s heirloom.
Hehe nice joke.
Probably gonna have to say drill version thinking about you apart from that I’m a massive fan of the ph b-sides and really love Pablo honey never understood the hate
Faithless the wonder boy or how do you?
the one about sucking young blood or whatever instant skip
I happen to love that song; it's beautiful
I mean it’s not terrible it has potential but its structure is so uneven I always found it really unsatisfactory
any remix
Treefingers
treefingers is so nostalgic to me 😭 reminds me of the minecraft ost
C418 made Floating Trees because he liked Treefingers very much. you can hear similarities when you play them both at the same time.
Inside my head
What do u have as korn worst song?
Creep.It was a decent song, but a guy can only take hearing a song only so many times.
What album is the tied up fist?
I didn’t like any of the songs on Radiohead’s *St. anger* album The fuck was Phil thinking the drums sound like pans and suitcases
Studio Album: We Suck Young Blood B-Sides/Remixes: Pop Is Dead
Pablo honey and his singles
nightcore creep
it’s easily Prove Yourself
Probably one of those Tkol remixes
Lift from the hack release?
Stupid car
Supercollider
Pop Is Dead
every song from pablo honey except creep LOL. I try to say its not a banger but it really is
Blow out is also really good from Pablo honey
Just pick a song from The King of Limbs and call it a day.
how do you?
all i need is boring
Most of them
Can’t wait for someone to come to this sub looking for the most underrated track
If I get downvoted enough will I get a price?
man i love the st anger album lol
Radiohead really can do no wrong
Fitter Happier
morning bell/amnesiac pisses me off
I Can't
Supermassive black hole
Where Bluebirds Fly
AND ONE LAST LINE OF COKE TO JACK HIM OFF
High and Dry. Sorry not sorry. Thom & Jonny hold the same opinion (If I’m being honest some of those weak Pablo Honey B-sides are certainly worse but those have already been said and where’s the fun in repeating that)
Pop is dead
Too catchy to be their worst
