Green Plastic Radiohead

Q Magazine recently released their list of the top 1001 songs ever recorded, and ‘Creep’ made it to number 7. Suprisingly, U2’s ‘One’ claimed the number one spot (even more suprisingly- Destiny’s Child?).
Radiohead had the highest number of entries in the top 1001, with seven total songs selected.
The top ten-
10- Ike & Tina Turner ‘River Deep Mountain High’
9- Oasis ‘Live Forever’
8- Destiny’s Child ‘Independent Women’
7- Radiohead ‘Creep’
6- Eminem ‘My Name Is’
5- Elvis Presley ‘In The Ghetto’
4- The Beatles ‘A Day In The Life’
3- Nirvana ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’
2- Aretha Franklin ‘I Say A Little Prayer’
1- U2 ‘One’

NME is conducting two seperate polls, both of which you may want to vote in.

NME is also polling it’s readers for a future list of the most essential Radiohead songs of all time. You can vote here.

Rolling Stone put out a list of what they consider the 500 best albums of all time. Radiohead rated three of those.
#110- The Bends
#162- OK Computer

You can see the entire list here. Number one, not surprisingly, is The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Thom and Ed appeared on Radio 1 today with DJ Mark Radcliffe. 2+2=5 was played, and Follow Me Around was played by Thom on a 1940s acoustic guitar. There was also an odd little segment called “Thom Yorke’s Schooldays”.
You can listen to Follow Me Around and some clips from the show here.

From the Guardian Unlimited site:

Radiohead’s Thom Yorke is live on Guardian Unlimited on Friday November 21 2003 at 5pm talking about the band’s latest project, The Most Gigantic Lying Mouth of All Time.
Several months ago, Radiohead asked their fans to submit any animation or live action work that could be cut to Radiohead music. The result is four half hour programmes featuring a mix of music past, present and future, Thom’s drawings, animation, interviews … all linked by a man called Chieftan Mews.
You can watch it for yourself on http://www.radiohead.tv, and then log on on Friday to talk to Thom about it.
