Bands like Radiohead are really quite rubbish at choosing what to put out as a single, are they not?

[the-roofdog.livejournal.com]

At least they made the right decision with Kid A (i.e. NONE OF THIS AWFULNESS)

[cis.livejournal.com]

I thought both 'Lucky' and 'Airbag' were singles! so. confused.

[the-roofdog.livejournal.com]

I always thought there were more off Pablo Honey. 'You' or Ripchord' or summink ?

[the-roofdog.livejournal.com]

Oh and Airbag was a collection of OK Computer B-sides that also had Airbag on for no reason & Lucky was just on that War Child charity compilation album, I think.

[carsmilesteve.livejournal.com]

was ACPG the only "hit" though? also where is POP IS DEAD????

[the-roofdog.livejournal.com]

Online pop music community in airbrushing Radiohead single 'Pop Is Dead' out of history shockah!

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Top 40 in rejecting "Pop Is Dead" as "worse even than Back to The Planet" shockah.

[carsmilesteve.livejournal.com]

it was sh!te though...

[the-roofdog.livejournal.com]

GPWM.

Those lyrics in full

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Oh no, pop is dead
Long live pop.
It died an ugly death,
By back catalogue.

And know you know it gets you nowhere,
And now you know you realise.

Oh no, pop is dead
It just gave up,
We raise the dead but they won't stand up.

And radio have salmonella,
And now you know you gotta die.
It left this message for us.

So what, pop is dead, it's no great loss
So many face lifts, it's face flew off.

The Emperor he has no clothes on,
And his skin is pealing off.

Oh no, pop is dead, long live pop,
One final lot of coke to jack him off...
Jack him off.. He left this message for us.

He left this message for us.
He left this message for us.

golden oldies, rolling stones, we don't want them back...

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

'Lucky' is the one Radiohead song I actively like!

also tolerable is 'Climbing Up The Walls' off OKC as it is trip-hop innit and you can't actually hear T Yorke's voice very well.

[catsgomiaow.livejournal.com]

I thought that Morning Bell and Idioteque were singles too! And Lucky - tho they did Lucky for that charity album, and it had a video and everything to support the album sales, so I guess that's where we could be getting mixed up.

[lockedintheatti.livejournal.com]

I thought Idiotheque was a single too. And it would have been my favourite if it had.

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Idioteque wasn't a single. It was the most "radio-friendly" so it got played a fair bit.

[awesomewells.livejournal.com]

Lucky was definitely a single, got to #38 or something. I would have given it a ticky had it been in there.

Airbag was the first track off a mini-album so probably doesn't count.

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

apparently not. radiohead's only single not listed here is their second 'Pop Is Dead' (#42 in May '93)

[(Anonymous)]

'lucky' was a single

it might have been credited to 'war child'.

[(Anonymous)]

(that was benrique, as is this)

ah: http://www.discogs.com/release/428133

[piratemoggy.livejournal.com]

Yes. Why Idioteque was never a single when it was clearly THE BEST THING THEY HAVE EVER WRITTEN is beyond me.

[skyecaptain.livejournal.com]

IIRC, they didn't release any singles for Kid A as part of the oooooohmysterious vibes, but released that one OK song whose name escapes me as a pseudo-single, since it did receive some radio play in the states.
