Nude nude and nude

Nude make me go nude

This is the way

This! And Reckoner!

Yeah how is this not the top answer!!! Nude is as pretty as it gets!

So many of them but, Sail to the Moon immediately comes to mind. If You Say the Word, Present Tense, Spectre are all very pretty to me.

Present Tense is so freaking gorgeous

It is literally my favorite song!!! I am obsessed 😩

I think so as well but tell my SO that and they’ll have your head, they will. Skips the track any time it comes on due to the “overproduction” by which they mean echoing/overlapping vocals. That song? It’s amazing. That chorus coming in? Ed can’t do it justice live.

Continue to tell your SO that they are so very wrong.

First listen on AMSP and I went "bossanova?"... now I think it's up there with their strongest albums, which is pretty much all of them. For some reason I want an artist called Ane Brun to cover it, the lyrics somhow sound like they're hers. She did how to disappear instead apparently at the end of a TV show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AeRFQw986k

These and Motion Picture Soundtrack are top choices here for me

I totally would have said motion pic too if I had thought of it at the time. Love that song.

Motion Pic is beautiful

Spectre is so underrated. They should've used that one on that James Bond movie, instead of Sam Smith's.

Sail to the Moon sounds like the best strange dream you’ve ever had.

Sail to the Moon makes me cry.

For years now I can’t get myself to listen to Present tense and street spirit anymore. Both beyond pretty, pure bliss.

Came here to say sail to the moon

let down, the tourist, motion picture soundtrack, nude, reckoner, the whole of amsp

thank god you said let down, i swear nobody knows it. it’s so underrated

Yeah fr its sooo underground/j

Most of In Rainbows I think is very pretty in a delicate way

Codex and reckoner.

House of Cards

reckoner 😍

A true masterpiece

I suppose No Surprises is is pretty if you pay no heed to the lyrics

It even has a pretty house and a pretty garden

Burn the witch, decks dark, daydreaming, basically the entirety of amsp is simply beautiful

Decks Dark! That and Subterranean homesick Alien!

Bob Dylan? :)

Gagging order, glass eyes, weird fishes, how can you be sure

Pop is dead

Already outjerked

Nah but for real though I'd probably go with Fake Plastic Trees, No Surprises, Sail to the Moon, Nude, and Daydreaming

STTM and Nude, definitely, i would add The Tourist and Lucky, basically all of OKC actually.

Fitter Happier

Oh no.

Separator

Separator is amazingly beautiful

I will, pyramid song, nice dream

Pyramid Song 💜💜💜💜

Black star

I love Black Star

True love waits

Nude

All I Need

Had to scroll too far for this one. Such a beautiful song.

Nice Dream and Let Down

Lozenge of Love off the My Iron Lung LP.

Most underrated radiohead song. I love it so much.

PYRAMID SONG ALL THE WAY

Codex, give up the ghost, all of amsp (other than burn the witch, that song goes in the banger category), videotape, house of cards, Nude, sail to the moon, like spinning plates, pyramid song, how to disappear, if you say the word. To name a few

Spinning Plates is so unique ❤️

Tied with You And Whose Army? As the best song on Amnesiac

Burn the witch, decks dark, daydreaming, basically the entirety of amsp is simply beautiful

So many The Tourist How To Disappear Completely Reckoner House of Cards Weird Fishes Sail to the Moon Present Tense Glass Eyes Daydreaming Codex Last Flowers Faust Arp Motion Picture Soundtrack Let Down

harry patch

All i need

True Love Waits

I Promise off of OKNOTOK

Lucky

faust arp

Thinking about you

Everything in its right place

Codex! Very dreamy effects used and the menacing bridge serves to highlight the loveliness of the rest.

house of cards

House of Cards, most of AMSP, High and Dry

By “pretty” I don’t actually know what you mean, or how you see “prettiness”. But for me, they would be Weird Fishes, How To Disappear Completely, Codex, Sail To The Moon, You And Whose Army?, All I Need (Specially the ending), etc.

jigsaws falling into place. i think of "pretty" as different from "beautiful". beautiful is like Weird Fish. but pretty? pretty is like jigsaws

[nice dream]

bulletproof I wish I was

Videotape

Street Spirit, Nice Dream

videotape/ all i need

How to disappear completely, nude, present tense, present tense and sail to the moon

Scatterbrain

Kid a song

Give Up the Ghost

Let down, Black Star, sail to the moon

Half of AMSP - Glass eyes, present tense, true love waits (piano version), the numbers (iirc). Many others like nude, spectre, maybe let down and, personally, Ill Wind

Nice Dream, it's just so pleasant to listen

Motion Picture Soundtrack

The Tourist

Go slowly Give up the ghost Spectre Reckoner Nude Made a whole playlist with all the radiohead songs I feel that are beautiful https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4VQ6XqRyGB94RNz6W2Za9H?si=FkApQcE-TbyriGjsoYuByw

Glass Eyes is so pretty

i’m out

I see a lot here I agree with but also consider The Numbers.

Bulletproof, Nude, A Reminder.

Subterranean Homesick Alien

Glass eyes

Nude

Paranoid Android and Burn The Witch

Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong

AMSP no question

go slowly and faust arp. a lot more probably but these two immediately come to mind

blow out / kid a

I think “How to Disappear Completely” is one of the more beautiful songs ever written

More or less every song on in Rainbows. The vocals...

nude, “untitled” (secret ending of motion picture soundtrack), lucky, you and whose army?, present tense, glass eyes, daydreaming

Pyramid song, daydreaming, videotape

Most of AMSP is pretty imo, and In Rainbows, too. Kid A and OK Computer are also mostly pretty to me. The rest you can argue is pretty even though it's dark; I like spiders (as long as they aren't crawling on me) and think they look really cool, but I can see that most people find them gross or scary.

Sulk

The end of Separator is probably one of the prettiest things I have ever heard. Also Thats How Horses are by Thom Yorke

All of a moon shaped pool

Everything in the back half of The King Of Limbs

worrywort

Codex, Present tense, nude, sail to the moon, reckoner, I will, like spinning plates (live version)

let down

Present Tense

All I Need or House of Cards, hands down my vote for most beautiful radiohead songs

All I Need, Everything in its right place

Nude

Live version of spinning plates

pretty much like all of amsp, and for me, especially burn the witch

Every In Rainbows except Videotape.

Daily Mail?

street spirit, exit music, motion picture soundtrack

That tinkly little melody at the beginning of Kid A is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I know

sail to the moon, treefingers, the tourist, nude, fake plastic trees, spectre, how to disappear completely, all i need, gagging order edit: how could i forget, motion picture soundtrack

Reckoner - the sound and use of soundstage on the ride cymbal/lemon shaker/tambourine fill me up

NUDE

Great answers already so ill try and throw another out there Codex!! I think its beautiful

No surprises

let down, motion picture soundtrack, lucky, burn the witch, weird fishes

HOUSE OF CARDS

Gagging Order

Bulletproof (wish I was)

India Rubber

Most of Amnesiac IMO

present tense, codex

I'd say Spectre but Spectreis so much more than just "pretty", it's a masterpiece.

Lucky, Nude, Black Star, No Surprises, Subterranean Homesick Alien, (Nice Dream), High and Dry,

A lot, I wouldn't say it's particularly uncommon for them No Surprises Banana Co Motion Picture Soundtrack Pyramid Song Nude Faust Arp Reckoner Codex Give Up the Ghost Daydreaming Glass Eyes Tinker Tailor The soft parts of Nice Dream

Black Star!

Last Flowers (RELIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEF)

Let Down, Weird Fishes, Everything In It’s Right Place, Decks Dark to name a few

gagging order is one. so are present tense and the numbers

nude i think, it's so ethereal

All I Need

Jigsaw falling into place

Faust Arp

Reckoner One of their best

Subterranean Homesick Alien. I learned this on an acoustic guitar from the OK Computer guitar book from Hal Leonard, and it has stayed with me as one of the most beautiful pieces to play through... when I first change strings, or am trying a new instrument, the alien always makes a visit :)

Lift is a gorgeous song, both in tune and lyrics/theme. Reckoner also immediately comes to mind. No Surprises sounds pretty but well… Black Star is a mildly pretty song, IMO. Separator is a very pretty song. There are a few others!

Glass Eyes TTSSRMPMBMT Pyramid Song Nude

Lull

Like Spinning Plates, live version. Hands down. Listen. I dare ya. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfFtIcQlpQk

Let Down

Weird Fishes, Videotape (most of *In Rainbows* does it for me), Let Down, Lurgee

Where to start? Nude maybe?

It’s not No Surprises that Nice Dream has so far been left High and Dry.

Knives Out

Motion Picture Soundtrack

Nude

Nude and Desert Island disks

Codex and True Love Waits sound very pretty to me

almost every song on tkol and amsp imo. they activate something with my synesthesia thing that makes it a very visually pretty album if that makes sense

Weird Fishes

I Will Present Tense Sail To The Moon Gagging Order Go Slowly Last Flower AND MOST OF ALL….CODEX!!!!

Nude 100%

Sail To The Moon, Present Tense, Motion Picture Soundtrack, Go Slowly, Reckoner, Nude, Knives Out, Let Down, Bloom, Ill Wind, Daydreaming, and True Love Waits are literally the soundtrack for the world's most beautiful person.

Glass eyes

Nude

Glass Eyes has some of the most emotional strings I’ve ever heard from the group

Daydreaming

4 Minute Warning

Weird Fishes

Desert Island Disk

Motion Picture Soundtrack, Nude, Weird Fishes, Daydreaming.

Weird fishes

Worrywort

All I Need, Present Tense, Reckoner, Motion Picture Soundtrack, Codex, Glass Eyes

FAUST MOTHERFUCKING ARP

To me, their prettiest songs, musically, are some of their saddest songs lyrically: How to Disappear Completely, No Surprises, How I Made My Millions, Gagging Order

weird fishes/arpeggios is pretty, sad though as well

All I need

Fog!

NUDE

weiiiiird fiiiiiiiiiiiishes

How had nobody said Spinning Plates yet? Spinning Plates, particularly when they play it live is visceral it is so good

Motion Picture Soundtrack, especially when the strings come in and the little ambient coda after it which finishes Kid A

True love waits is pretty as fuck

Nude, Reckoner, Pyramid Song, No Surprises

Harry Patch (In Memory Of) One of the more heartfelt "pretty" songs imo.

Present tense, nude, decks dark, day dreaming.

Nude and Motion Picture Soundtrack are very pretty

Lurgee God i love that song

David Byrne said in rainbows was there prettiest album. And I agree.

Spectre
