List of songs recorded by Radiohead


Since their 1992 debut, the English rock band Radiohead have recorded more than 160 songs, most credited to the band as a whole. They have worked with producer Nigel Godrich since 1994. Several of their albums are consistently ranked among the greatest of all time.
Radiohead's first album, Pablo Honey, preceded by their breakthrough single "Creep", features a sound reminiscent of alternative rock bands such as the Pixies and Nirvana. The Bends marked a move toward "anthemic rock", with more cryptic lyrics about social and global topics, and elements of Britpop. OK Computer, the first Radiohead album produced by Godrich, features more abstract lyrics that reflected themes of modern alienation, and subtle, complex and textured songs.
Kid [|A] and Amnesiac, recorded in the same sessions, marked a drastic change in style, incorporating influences from electronic music, 20th-century classical music, krautrock and jazz. Radiohead's sixth album, Hail to the Thief, combines electronic and rock music with lyrics written in response to the War on Terror. Radiohead self-released their seventh album, In Rainbows, as a pay-what-you-want download. It incorporates alternative rock and art pop with more personal, "universal" lyrics. Outtakes from the album were released on In Rainbows Disk 2. In 2009, Radiohead released two non-album singles: "Harry Patch ", a tribute to the last surviving World War I soldier Harry Patch, and "These Are My Twisted Words", a free download.
Radiohead's eighth album, The King of Limbs, emphasises the rhythm section with extensive samples and loops. The band released four non-album singles in 2011: "Supercollider" and "The Butcher", followed by "The Daily Mail" and "Staircase". After a hiatus, Radiohead recorded a title song for the 2015 James Bond film Spectre, but it was rejected. Their next album, A Moon Shaped Pool, incorporates art rock and ambient music, with string and choral arrangements performed by the London Contemporary Orchestra. In 2017, Radiohead released a deluxe remaster of OK Computer, OKNOTOK 1997 2017, including B-sides and the previously unreleased songs "I Promise", "Man of War", and "Lift".

Unreleased songs

Radiohead have written numerous songs that have not been officially released. Live performances of many of the songs circulate as bootlegs. Asked in 2013 about the status of the unreleased songs, Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich said: "Everything will surface one day... it all exists... and so it will eventually get there I'm sure." He cited "Nude", written in the 1990s but released in 2007, as an example of a song that took years to complete.
SongNotes
"Come to Your Senses"Radiohead played "Come to Your Senses" in 2006 at a soundcheck at the Hearst Greek Theatre in Berkeley, California. A minute-long bootleg was circulated before a full bootleg appeared in June 2018. According to Consequence of Sound, the song "sounds like nothing else Radiohead has ever written", with country and folk elements.
"Cut a Hole"Radiohead debuted "Cut a Hole" on the King of Limbs tour in 2012. The song builds gradually to a climax, with "menacing" lyrics about a "long-distance connection". The NME described it as "an atmospheric, shifting gloomathon" with a "head-flung-back vocal from Thom, climaxing with some of his highest notes since OK Computer".
"Follow Me Around""Follow Me Around" made its first appearance in the 1998 documentary Meeting People Is Easy. According to Rolling Stone, it is one of Yorke's "darkest songs", with lyrics about "shadowy figures lurking in corners". Yorke and Jonny Greenwood performed a rearranged version in 2017.
"I Froze Up"Yorke debuted "I Froze Up" on Rhodes piano during a webcast performance in 2002. In 2010, he performed the song again at a solo concert in Cambridge, England, and two months later in Chicago while touring with Atoms for Peace. Rolling Stone described it as "sparse" and "haunting".
"I Lie Awake"Played in soundchecks during Radiohead's 2006 tour.
"Open the Floodgates" / "Porous""Open the Floodgates", also referred to by Colin Greenwood as "Porous", dates to at least 2006. Yorke debuted it on piano alongside "I Froze Up" in 2010.
"Riding a Bullet"Played in soundchecks during the 2008 In Rainbows tour.
"Skirting on the Surface"Yorke debuted "Skirting on the Surface" in 2009 in a solo piano rendition while on tour with his band Atoms for Peace. It was first performed by Radiohead in 2012 in an arrangement Pitchfork described as a "bleak slow-groover". Variations on the title have appeared on Radiohead's website since 1997.
"Slave"Yorke mentioned "Slave" in a 2008 interview, and said he would send it to Godrich for mixing that night.
"Wake Me"Played in soundchecks during the 2008 In Rainbows tour.
