  • In this episode, a Gen X father tries to convince his Gen Z son that Radiohead's The National Anthem, from the album Kid A, contributes to his hypothesis...that Radiohead is the greatest band of all time.

    "Organized chaos" is def the best way to describe this song haha.
    Didn't know the base line was Thoms! Really cool, learned something new about my favorite band today!

    Charles Mingus inspired chaos in the best possible way

    This is a beauty! GOAT of the GOAT. Excited to hear this. Way to prep Jacob for the journey. Did not know that Thom actually played bass on this track. Crazy. Kid A makes me feel LUCKY! You guys have an impressively balanced spread of reactions but as your official RH balancer, here is what needs attention. PH - 5/12 (41.7%). Bends - 5/12 (41.7%). OK - 5/12 (41.7%). KidA - 4/10 (40%). Amn - 3/11 (27.3%). HTTT 4/14 (28.6%). IR - 5/10 (50%). TKOL - 3/8 (37.5%). AMSP - 4/11 (36.4%). Extras - 6/?. Summary ;) : Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief each need a track. How about "I MIGHT BE WRONG", "PYRAMID SONG", "GO TO SLEEP", or "WHERE I END AND YOU BEGIN". Eventually, please do the beautiful "LUCKY" once you catch up. KEEP TRUCKING. Loving it!

    Oh man this song takes me places. It's just so chaotic yet calming for me, and man do I love the horns in this song. An eight is a really generous score for someone who is not a Radiohead fan. Waiting for "I might be wrong", whenever it comes.

    Some of my favourite Radiohead songs are I Promise, Present Tense, Pyramid Song, Let Down and Bodysnatchers.

    You need to do “Everything In It’s Right Place” or “Morning Bell”. They’re the two other really good songs from Kid A

    Glad you mentioned the traffic jam. Having read the quote it made sense.

    Yes radiohead is the greatest band of all time
    And this might be their greatest song

    No it's probably the Beatles but I do love Radiohead

    If I was a major league ballplayer this would be my walk-on song

    Fun fact
    Thom purposely asked the brass section to not tune
    And when they played SNL the crowd was confused as to what history they were witnessing

    If you don’t dig the baseline this one is impossible, I love the baseline so I love this song haha

    It just hit me. Just a random observation. Jacob sounds/talks a lot like Lex Fridman.

    This is a repeat of a comment that I left on your Episode 42: Anyone Can Play Guitar offering. Because this video is about The National Anthem, I felt it appropriate to repeat this comment, as follows:
    Hey Scott. You have to check out this CZcams clip.
    czcams.com/video/T-ZVlcEmARg/video.html
    It is a version of Radiohead’s “The National Anthem” with only the noises and sound effects. Radiohead first caught my ear with OK Computer where the songs all seemed to be backed with incredible soundscapes. As they progressed to Kid A and beyond, this effect became even more pronounced. With this CZcams clip, you will gain and insight into how these soundscapes are produced. Some parts (such as the beginning and ending) you will know. Other sections you won’t recognise outright, but if you are like me, you will feel a sense of familiarity with them, as if you have subliminally heard them before within the cacophony of noise that is the manic Miles Davis inspired brass section.
    After listening to this clip, I played the entire Kid A album and it was as if my ear was suddenly opened up to all of the amazing noises and sound effects that are embedded throughout that album.
    I hope you get as much out of this as I did.

      This was awesome. Thanks for sharing the link. Will have to check out the KidAmnesia game at some point.
