    Nigel Godrich has been the producer and engineer for Radiohead since The Bends (Edit: Since OK Computer) and he's basically to Radiohead what George Martin was to The Beatles. Geebz you really owe it to yourself to watch some live footage of Radiohead (especially Live From the Basement) to see just how much each member contributes to their arrangements. The textures and pads are almost exclusively made by Ed and Johnny on their guitars and when they do use synths and keyboards they are almost always vintage analog instruments being played by Johnny.

      When they recorded Fake Plastic Trees they were having a tough time wrapping up the ending so the band went to a pub and had a few ales to try to reset. When they got back to the studio they recorded the vocals heard on the album on the first take and as soon as Thom sang those lines he immediately broke down and started bawling his eyes out.
      That emotion is so amazingly conveyed on the track I can't help but cry with him when I hear it.

    Weird Fishes/Arpeggi was originally a piece for orchestra and six Ondes Martenots composed by Jonny Greenwood. He then invited Thom to add lyrics and vocals to it. There's actually a live version from 2005 (search Arpeggi at Ether Festival). The band version features not only overlapping guitars but also a celesta.

Thank you Jeff Buckley, you tragically weren’t around long enough to bath us in years worth of tracks, but you definitely get a major ‘assist’ with Fake Plastic Trees…if not 20 more songs after.

      It's a great album but has a couple of filler tracks. The Bends is their best album. OK Computer got a lot of acclaim to make up for the critics being late to acknowledging The Bends. It says a lot about the quality of the early work by Radiohead that they have those two great records. It's a shame that they went downhill after OK Computer. Such a waste of good song writers.

    Amazing and wonderful - your quote - it should be thrown back at you. Nobody does vids like you do - and to have you enjoy and breakdown my lifelong favorite band is a true joy. Honestly, so such gratitude to you for this absolute treat. Radiohead knocked off Stevie Ray Vaughan who had knocked off Pink Floyd as my favorite artists and no one has ever come around to take that crown despite my wide ranging tastes across so many genres since it happened at "OK Computer" in college in Blacksburg, VA in 1997 to this very day. They just have something else that rises above - for me myself of course, to each their own with music always - but your knowledge and breakdowns add so much, both to enjoy your discovery but also for me as a fan. Great man - this was an unexpected bit of treasure after a long day - thank you my brother. And yes sir - there is SO much more to come! Wait till you see "Weird Fishes" from the Basement concert. All in due time.

    The chronological order of their albums relays something interesting in the band's growth.
    From their first record Pablo Honey, they were rock/indie with all the bells and whistles - then with each album they step back more, and strip down more to the rawest, most minimal interpretation of the sound needed to convey the emotion.
    Compare Fake plastic trees, then Airbag, the. Morning bell, then to Weird Fishes in this instance.

    The warm, organic keyboard sounds on Morning Bell: I believe it’s a Fender Rhodes electric piano. They used that a lot on OK Computer and Kid A and it’s one of the things that they took from Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew, which they cited as a big inspiration during the OK Computer period. Live, on some tracks like Everything in its Right Place, they sample the sound through guitar pedals. I also love those warm tones and it’s a shame they stopped playing Morning Bell live. It was a great opener to their live sets for a while: I remember Colin, the bass player, saying he liked the gaps in the music because they’d help him get a feel for the physical space they were in. Great selection of tracks: they have a timeless quality in my opinion because of the details in the arrangements, the abstract lyrics and the way the songs keep revealing themselves on repeated listens, 15-25 years on from the recordings.
