My love for all things RAdiohead is no secret, and I think The Bends would be awesome. But what Radiohead song do YOU want?

Its not that. Creep is a decent song, but have you even heard any of these other songs? They would be much much better for Rock Band than Creep. And they are better songs, period.

Paranoid Android is the only Radiohead song I've heard, and it would be great for Rock Band. Plus, Hitchhiker's Guide references for the win.

I May Be Paranoid, But No Android:D

Greatest song line ever

PA would be great, but its hard to sing thats why I went Airbag. Every instrument would be really fun.

I would say Creep, because it's one of their easier songs to both play and sing, and it's very different from what's been announced thus far. It's good, too, though not their absolute best. I'd say that playability, practicality and variety come before "picking the best songs." If that wasn't the case, then the whole tracklist would be Jimmy Hendrix, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin.

Yeah I think The Bends and Airbag are the two best for singing.

Only picking one is tough, so I had to go with Paranoid Android. That song just has so much to it, it would be a blast to play.

The one I like that's most likely to get in is Paranoid Android, so I voted for that.

However, I would kill to get (Nice Dream) in the game. I absolutely adore that song.

I chose other, cause any of them would be fine.

Oh thats an amazing song, playing the auctoustic would be fantastic. But the problem is people might not "get" the song and think its some lame pop song before it gets really awesome at the end

Think there is any chance we will get Killer Cars? :D

Oh thats a great song, and extremely likable, but I guess its a little too unknown. I think something off an whole album would be better for RB.

I just thought of something. Even though its not my favorite song out of these, Electioneering is pretty much build for Rock Band. It has cowbell in the beggining and the end is pretty much a freeform jam anyways, so I can see how it would work.

Thom Yorke + Cowbell = Win

My favourite Radiohead song is Streetspirit, so I'm all for that one! It has a beautiful guitar play and the singing is good too. But perhaps it relies too much on the singing and needs just one guitar?

The Bends would be relatively easy to play and sing, I guess. I just listened to it and it's easy to sing along if you know the song. I just think it's not as well known as other songs?

Just would be a good choice too. It has some variations, interesting for the lead guitar.

Paranoid Android: you sometimes have to get really high with your voice, and instruments are a bit of the same throughout half the song. Second half is great, though (the rocky parts).

Creep seems like the best bet, because it's so well-known, and because it fits RB well.
PA seems like it would be too slow and fairly repetitive. Most of the others would be nice to see, but merit aside it's Creep's recognizability that would probably get it in (assuming we get RH tunes at all; but with MTV saying 100 songs at release, it's a fair bet there'll be one at least in the DLC).
It's a shame "No Surprises" is so slow & easy - I just love that song.

I dont know about that because Radiohead themselves actually really dislike that song now and only play it on occasion because fans still like it, and its always dependant on the bands permission. Radiohead, if they want to be in teh game, would probably rather a different song.

If they went with a popular song my money would be on High and Dry or Fake Plastic Trees.

Street Spirit and Lucky would be my picks.

I was just thinking, if Harmonix refuses to budge on the bass thing, I would like to play Airbag or My Iron Lung on the bass.

I guess I will be the lone voter for Just, I think it would translate very well into the game.

Dude, Electioneering is my second favorite song of all time. I love the guitar in it. That would be an awesome song to play.

Seriously...

The Bends. Full Album. DLC.

Think about it people :-)

I voted for Just as well... It'd be great fun to play.

I was just thinking, if they HAVE TO put in a popular Radiohead song and they probably will, lets see which ones are the most popular. Probably Creep, Karma Police, Fake Plastic Trees, Street Spirit, and There There. None of those songs really work except maybe There There (which is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too weird for this type of game). Honestly if they had to pick one of those, I would choose Karma Police. Why?

1. Street Spirit is too repetitive.
2. Creep is lame and has the word ****ing twice I think.
3. As I said before There There is too weird.
4. The sound effects would be fun to play and the vocals are kick ass.
5. The bass is actually good.

But honestly the acoustic part, while awesome is very reptitive. And honestly there are many other not as popular Radiohead songs that would work much better. Paranoid Android is probably the most well known Radiohead song that would be good for the game, but once again, what will the bass do during the "rain down" part? I say go for something off OK Computer, which is one of the most well known albums globally, or something off The Bends.

But what song? Elminating all the songs that are not known at all, the only real choice is Just. Which is a great song, but arent there better Radiohead songs?

Its really confusing for a Radiohead fan. I just hope they do not pick Creep or pretty much anything off Pablo Honey.

When I try to think of what to put in these types of games if it were my choice, I always compromise on what songs will be the best to play in lieu of my favorite songs. For instance go with the flow is not my all time favorite queens of the stone age song, but I definitely think its the most suited to be good in this type of game. Wanting your favorite songs works great for soundtracks, but won't always pan out well for rhythm games like this. That being said, it just so happens that my favorite song seems to be the best suited to this style game, its slightly repetitive but not too much that you would get bored with it. Anyhow, here's to hoping.

(P.S. - if anyone was curious my favorite queens of the stone age songs are probably either Avon or Everybody Knows (That You're Insane), both would probably be really boring in this game unfortunately.)

2+2=5 - While I love this song I think the most interesting part in it is the singing, not so much the intsturments most of the time.

And why not My Iron Lung? I love that song too. It has some nice melodies and some little pauses to relax. It's both quiet and rocky.

Just - great, like most other songs from The Bends.

Street Spirit - I listened to it again, and have to agree, unfortunately. It's too repetitive for the instruments. :-/
