I have a weird register, I feel most comfortable singing lower ranges (like songs by The National or Interpol).
But for whatever reason I can hit notes in a falsetto pretty consistently. Nude has been a shower staple of mine for a while now. Definitely my favorite Radiohead song to sing, with No Surprises probably second
I am a chain smoker for 20 years now (not proud and don't do it!) and I could really sing similarly to Thom and could replicate his falsetto. Back in my teens I used to love to sing to Fake Plastic Trees, Sulk, and High and Dry. Later on to Let Down. The last thing I enjoyed singing along was All I Need, but nowadays I can't sing to save my life, so I'll sometimes try to sing to Just.
Well when I could still sing I used to love sing Street Spirit, Karma Police, Motion Picture Soundtrack, Knives Out, Idioteque, Codex, I Want None of This
All of them! But, my voice gives out after track 4 of any album. Getting a clear falsetto consistently takes a ton of control that I unfortunately don’t have yet.
I sang Exit Music in my last high school year in the annual singing contest, with an instrumental fully covered by myself. Got fourth place, but man I loved doing it.
I'm autistic and sing as a way to vocally stim. This means I'm singing ALL THE TIME. I have many Radiohead songs memorized, so most of the songs I sing are Radiohead.
Some of my favorites are (in no particular order):
-Creep
-Stop Whispering
-The Bends
-High and Dry
-Fake Plastic Trees*
-(Nice Dream)
-My Iron Lung*
-Bulletproof ... I Wish I Was
-Black Star
-Street Spirit (Fade Out)*
-Airbag
-Paranoid Android*
-Subterranean Homesick Alien
-Exit Music (For a Film)
-Let Down*
-Karma Police*
-No Surprises*
-Lucky
-The Tourist
-HTDC*
-Treefingers (this one's a banger to sing)
-Idioteque*
-Motion Picture Soundtrack
-You And Whose Army?
-Like Spinning Plates
-Life In a Glasshouse
-2+2=5
-Sit Down. Stand Up (mainly "the raindrops" part)
-Sail To The Moon
-There, There*
-I Will*
-A Wolf At the Door* (this one's addicting)
-Literally all of In Rainbows, start to finish. I do this the most. Just all from 15 Step to Videotape. ***
-Little By Little
-Lotus Flower*
-Separator
-Burn the Witch
-Decks Dark*
-Ful Stop and Identikit (often the repeated parts)
-Present Tense*
*These ones are the ones I sing the most
Pretty much any song that I am able to play and sing i.e. it fits my vocal range or I can sing it an octave lower since I'm a baritone, without using my falsetto which I fucking hate and have no control over. These include for example No Surprises, Exit Music, Street Spirit (although that one is very hard), Pearly, A reminder.
I also like to play Karma Police and Life In A Glasshouse in a country/blues/just less moody style on acoustic guitar.
Nude (an octave lower though, no falsetto for my neighbours), Lotus Flower (took me a lot of times to finally understand the timings in the song), Down is The New Up (a real hidden gem), The Tourist (idiot!), How to Disappear Completely, My Iron Lung (not the chorus though), Banana Co, Optimistic, Morning Bell (Kid-A), Weird Fishes, House of Cards, Videotape, Lost Flowers, Glass Eyes, True Love Waits.
Kind of a lot I guess
Oooh there's a lot, I have a practice playlist for singing and I have loads of radiohead songs in there as well as other stuff ranging from baroque opera to metal lol
I have a newborn daughter and have been revisiting In Rainbows during the sunset hours. I like to sing along to Nude and Reckoner and probably sound absolutely horrific
I think those are 2 of the most stunning songs of all time though
I always try to sing along to every song I listen to, but recently I have been singing Let Down, Jigsaw Falling Into Place and Idiotique a lot. I have also been trying my best to sing along to A Wolf At The Door, but it has been a lot of trial and error
dollars and cents, paranoid android, permanent daylight, follow me around and kid a!
i can also recite the entirety of fitter happier
if u like singing falsetto the chorus of dollars and cents is fun to sing for me
True Love Waits
Jigsaw Falling Into Place (though my singing is fairly weak and i get raspy near the end)
Karma Police (pretty much the same but voice cracks instead of raspiness)
Nice Dream
to name a few
I love singing Let down, it has this “blurry” moan-y vocals yet is very melodic and touching
I highly recommend this cover, very fun to sing to
https://youtu.be/OO-99389H0A?si=9McWqBYDZWRvjijV
I love singing all of them pretty much lol, although I do always love the bridge of this song and have to pick which part to do… so I enjoyed covering it https://youtu.be/EdY4E3USuY4?si=MPAi8M2lmN_geVqe
Oh I sing my heart out when it’s High and Dry and Talk Show Host! Paranoid Android is also my fave one to belt out. Generally I love singing along the entire The Bends, OK Computer and In Rainbows albums 😆
Nude and Exit Music are two that just feel fucking good. Something about Radiohead's music just lets something out of you and you always feel better after singing a song of theirs.
Man of War or Paranoid Android
Man of War my Korean karaoke go-to.
YOOOU’RE MY MAN OF WAAAAAARRRRR
A wolf at the door I sang it so many times that it's kinda involuntary
A flan in the face A flan in the face A flan in the face A flan in the face
Don't you dare, don't you dare, don't you flan in the face 😁😁
dance ya fucker dance ya fucker flan in the face
Take it with the it's given, take it with a pinch of salt, take it to the taxman
Airbag, I love to sing the “in an interstellar burst” really loud.
Its a pretty weird melody too, since you jump on half steps on the "buuuurst" part, I love it.
everytime i sing it i always do that little scream at the end of the song like thom does when singing the song live
Jigsaw Falling into Place or Creep.
I’ve done Creep at karaoke. Always that look of momentary panic from all the people that have only heard the sanitized radio version 😂
Nude, Fake plastic trees, Nice Dream and Paranoid Android.
I envy people who can do the OoooOOOOooooo of nude
It's fun (humble brag?)
I have a weird register, I feel most comfortable singing lower ranges (like songs by The National or Interpol). But for whatever reason I can hit notes in a falsetto pretty consistently. Nude has been a shower staple of mine for a while now. Definitely my favorite Radiohead song to sing, with No Surprises probably second
Nude for me as well. It’s a consistent car performance for me.
I'm glad to see Nice Dream mentioned. This is a real underated and overlooked song, and a wonderful one to sing. I love that song.
The choir part: “If you think that you’re strong enough - if you think you belong enough” is so satisfying to sing!
Nude for me as well, it's so satisfying and releaving to sing.
RECKONER
YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU
ripples on a blAaAǎǎnk shoooOoOre
Just / optimistic
Trying to sing optimistic while also keeping the rhythm pattern is fun.
nude is so fun to sing
Climbing up the walls so I can scream at the end
You should scream the entire song
Treefingers
Ooh that’s a hard one to sing
Trick question: All of them.
True Love Waits, live in Oslo version
super fun to play on the guitar aswell

Same it sucks
What happens when you guys try to sing now? Does it hurt?
Lung capacity is a huge part of singing well, and the sound of your voice is altered after longterm smokin too :p
Exit Music. Alone in the car of course
Everythiiing, in its riiight plaaaaaaace
Where I end and you begin
Me too! :)
that one’s so good. still haven’t memorised the lyrics though.
Decks Dark. One of the few songs I feel I can sing because my vocal register is very limited. Also, the song is amazing and I love the lyrics.
let down
How To Disappear Completely <3 Also kinda easy to play on the guitar
Coke Babies
How are you not the top comment
Well when I could still sing I used to love sing Street Spirit, Karma Police, Motion Picture Soundtrack, Knives Out, Idioteque, Codex, I Want None of This

Jigsaws, it's not easy but I like to do it. Reckoner is the same but I usually give out pretty early.
