  • This is a hard list to choose and I'm no Radiohead expert, but here are some guitar riffs that I like. I know technically they aren't all riffs, but they still sound cool anyway. Let me know which are your favourites in the comments below and if there's any I've missed!

    Thanks for watching guys as always! If you're a Radiohead fan, I'd love to know which you think is their best album as I've seen different opinions on this.

      I think that their first four records are really good at what they were trying to do. Yes I like pablo honey. Most of those song rock hard. But my favourite is probably Ok computer. Even though thats the one everyone likes.

      It's not one of their most talked about albums, but I often find myself returning to A Moon Shaped Pool. In terms of their best album though, it's hard to argue that it's not OK Computer imo. In Rainbows isn't too far off. But OK Computer is their masterpiece.

    Damn, hearing the guitar alone really exposes the grungeness of it. Those complicated layers of beats, psychedelia and noises on top of this is what makes Radiohead sound unlike anything else.

    My favorite Radiohead riffs are their arpeggios or more subtle ones. In 'In Rainbows', they are so simple but vibrant like reckoner and 15 step. The guitar part from nude feels like a sad hug tho and I love it for that. Most underrates ones are probably from Hail to Thief (I will and Sail To The Moon). Present Tense is also cool

    "Wow, you worked out how to play Iron Lung, congratulations 🎊 !"
    I was so disappointed, then chuffed, she was right, I had learnt how to play Iron Lung 😂, I thought that it might have been a Beatles song when I was 'writing' it. 🤣
