Radiohead/OK COmputer - 05 Let Down

[ThexMixup]

Yes.

[mustlovemaddy]

All time favorite radiohead song ever.

[codern]

at 3:53 it sounds like he's singing "fuck her ass". Thats especially why i like this song :D

[Bassbait]

Sorry, but isn't Coldplay supposed to be ripping off U2? That's what I always thought.

[CreeprThaReaper]

@Bassbait Maybe it's both.

[WCarson1993]

I love Radiohead and Coldplay, they definatly shouldn't be compared against each other, they are completly different. Coldplay is the band you listen to when your girlfriend is in the car, Radiohead is the band you listen to when she breaks up with you.

[kyebean]

@WCarson1993 Radiohead is the band you listen to when you are a tone deaf hipster. Fix You and Paradise are great breakup songs.

[commatose1]

@kyebean Coldplay are Radiohead for pussies. Fact.

[kyebean]

@commatose1 That doesn't quite add up, because Radiohead fans are the ones getting fucked.... in the ears.

[gaietta91]

i love coldplay but i love radiohead too. they're different. completely. If you do not understand this, you do not understand anything about music.

[jimmyhayers]

@gaietta91 Or you just don't like Coldplay

[KIMORID]

"Akordobanh" citou que RADIOHEAD "está no topo da piramide". Concordo. O genero é exclusivo e dele já está brotando uma nova geração.

[KIMORID]

Estamos ouvindo aqui um grupo que veio modificar, fora dos parametros e que será lembrado como um dos melhores do princípio do milenio.

[bluemeanie81]

i'd rather listen to this song 100 times than one coldplay album

[rocksteady1312]

chills chills chills..

[sepu1tura]

hardcore crying with this song

[theharborproductions]

@PirateDumbell took the words right out of my mouth

[tititablue]

this song.......i feel it deep inside from my stomach till my bones......

[Raulcarazo88]

I feel fucking sad, listen to this is the only way I can get a honest picture of myself

[101safire]

taylor wilde is watching this video

[jtgober87]

RADIOHEAD CANNOT BE COMPARED TO ANYONE. ANYONE CAN BE COMPARED TO RADIOHEAD

[daurpm]

@PirateDumbell pshh.. none is a poor mans version of the others.. theyre just musicians.. how are you supposed to do music if you dont the music alike to that you love and enjoy listening yourself.. and the one that inspired you in the first place? just cope with it.. there exist other bands who will sound alike and theres nothing wrong with that... several of the great musicians of time have said it.. "geniuses steal"

[PirateDumbell1]

@daurpm true but I still think Oasis went over board on trying mimick the Beatles

[Deanocfc]

Found this album under the seat of my car the other day. Forgot how good it really is.

[ruthlessRUFF1]

TOM URRY!!!!11

[gaozhi2007]

@PirateDumbell Martin is a crooner; Yorke is a creeper.

[canthinkverywell]

goddamnit, u missed 4 seconds...

[AdrianvsJak]

listening to the 01 and 10 playlist. The haunting singing voices in Let Down and Exit music Reminds of Where is My Mind by the Pixies. Except Where is my Mind is 20 times better

[Skalasky]

@PirateDumbell post of the year

[hamsterdam92]

So I seriously think this is a really overlooked Radiohead song, and one of their best.

Also, I love how the mood of this song contrasts Exit Music.

[coronahed66]

From OK Computer, apart from Karma Police, this was my favourite!

[MrMontyBurnsDog]

Santa Claus,God,My belief in life after death,my cock after too many beers...What a let down.Still,there`s always Radiohead to put everything in the right place ^.^

[Kr33mpuff]

This song's gotten me through some tough times.

[pietzsche]

@PirateDumbell lol, coldplay aren't good enough to be the poor man's radiohead.

[PirateDumbell1]

@pietzsche lmao true dat.

[jtfguit777]

Disagree, in my opinion muse is better band but both are incredible

[talk45]

@jtfguit777 Oh, God no. I hope you mean better at sucking.

P.S. This song is my life

[prevvy]

@jtfguit777 Muse and Radiohead are both good...but they're not really comparable..

[Mr11MUSICMAN]

Thumbs up if this song is better than Paranoid Android.

[Mr11MUSICMAN]

Is it just me or is it that this is the greatest fucking son of all time?????

[Mr11MUSICMAN]

@PirateDumbell Muse = a poor man's Radiohead.

[yesplease91]

need notes/tabs for what it sounds at 3:28, pleease. x.x

[runnah415]

I could listen to this one song for the rest of my life and die happy. Thank you Thom

[cochcamahoy]

This remains my all time favourite track of all time. Somehow I just never tire of it. I don't what it is that makes it so good which in itself makes it even better. I pity the fools that find it depressing as it just blows my socks clean off every time.

[DaoWoW]

@PirateDumbell I would have to full heartedly disagree with your statement. Oasis, although I do contend, has somewhat of a beatlesque ambiance to them, they, as well as coldplay, are different in their own respects. Might I add that all of which are phenomenal bands, and that they should be compared by the way they emit and portray certain emotions.

[fenyxfury]

@DaoWoW oasis seem more of a money-making, by-the-numbers exercise to me than anything else and coldplay, whilst less cynical than oasis, really are the dullest band in the world. radiohead, in my opinion, would still make the same music in a shed, skint, and be happy doing it. the greatest band of a generation is no understatement. 

[santiazap943]

q buena cancion

[whatwhathahaha]

im disappointed in myself

[Simon0]

imagine heaving a radio for a head..

[evilpigeions]

@Simon0 thats probly the best responce to a radiohead song =D

[zwartepiet412]

@Simon0 The Talking Heads did, actually, Thom and the guys just ran with the whole idea..

[Simon0]

@zwartepiet412 true. must be tough having a radio for a head.  Must be quite hard to live a normal life.

[SimplyShadow]

For the last time, don't compare oasis to the beatles! oasis isnt nowhere near as good as the beatles.

[willow12ify]

Let Down is the best track on this album, but that doesn't matter mutch. It's a part of the whole. This is the best concept album since Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

[locustskater]

Ok Computer scares me sometimes

[WolfmanBell]

It's been called the best album of not just our generation, but of all time. After listening to it again, I may be inclined to agree. It has passion, but it's refined. It has meaning, but it's subtle, it's vocals are perfect, the guitar work is incredible. This song is a great example of it. There may not be an album as perfectly crafted as this. Easily the best of the past 20 years, and among the top 5 ever.

[VeyLaren]

@WolfmanBell no itz not the best album of all time and definitely not the best album of our time...Itz great and could be in the top 10 albums of the 90s....But in my opinion itz not the best in the past 20 years...For me that would be nevermind by nirvana....that album is considered one of the best ever.............

[Troy211619]

@VeyLaren what the fuck? Nevermind doesn't get near OK Computer both in lyrical genius, and VOICE QUALITY..

[VeyLaren]

@Troy211619 what are you saying....dont get me wrong i know ok computer is a great album...but nevermind is too good...if your opinion is based on only smells like teen spirit then you should really listen to the whole album and if not then your wrong...it is listed as one of the greatest albums of all time...check any list and you'll find it higher on the list then ok computer =)

[Troy211619]

@VeyLaren Nah, not just that. But I'm sure that Smells Like Teen Spirit gave a huge contribution for that rank of the album. I have listened to Nevermind and I can say it was fine, but I don't care about the rankings because those rankings just tell how mainstream a band is. Radiohead wasn't made for the mainstream market you know. Unlike Nirvana who has to be one of the most overrated bands..

[VeyLaren]

@Troy211619 I guess then itz just preference...i guess i prefer nirvana over radiohead But both of em are great bands in my book =) and for the record i dont really think nirvana meant their album "nevermind" to be mainstream and commercial...People loved the album and listed it as one of the best albums of all time bcoz it is...But itz your opinion if you think they are overrated =)

[Troy211619]

@VeyLaren yeah, its a matter of opinion, but I do like some songs from Nevermind like Lithium, Something In The Way, and Drain You, but I just don't think its better than this..

[VeyLaren]

@Troy211619 yeeee Tru that

[wwrjd1523]

@VeyLaren idk about that, id say most rankings have ok computer as the best of the 90s, and some have it as the best all time

[eazzy93]

@henrystephenw LOL OLO

[TheBuddha94]

the people who've ever disliked radiohead are probly a7x dipshits

[frozenafro]

@PirateDumbell Omg I never thought anyone would think of it this way but WHAT THE HELL FUCK YEAH.

[mrmovieguide]

@PirateDumbell i think Coldplay is more similiar to U2 than Radiohead, it could be poor man's U2

[cisco9x]

@mrmovieguide Coldplay suck, but U2 and Radiohead are brilliant (so are Muse)

[majhankee]

@cisco9x Yay finally! A Radiohead fan that doesn't hate Muse!

[Troy211619]

@majhankee Yeah, this whole Radiohead vs Muse thing is just stupid. When can one learn that Muse and Radiohead don't even sound alike! I mean Muse and Radioehad are just like comparing The Beatles to Queen, The Beatles were art(Radiohead) and Queen were epic(Muse) and both made great but very different songs!

[majhankee]

@Troy211619 That's actually the most perfect analysis of Radiohead and Muse I've heard. You're right, Radiohead is art and Muse is epic.

[sofiammmmm]

@PirateDumbell

looooooool

you're so right;)

[falstaffswims]

Should have known better: cannot stop listening now, or get anything done--always get stuck listening and relistening to this song.

[falstaffswims]

This is the only song that I have ever called "the best song, ever." I try to be careful with saying things like that--and to only say them when they're true. So: this is the best song, ever.

One point in a million points that prove this song is awesome: who in the world but Thom Yorke could make the sterile-sounding words "a chemical reaction" sound so beautiful?!

Les mots tres belle d'un maitre d'ecrirement (desole, mon francais est tres horrible).

[uwoodyjk]

coldplay = poor mans version of oasis. The Beatles = poor mans version of Radiohead

[ThisGuysRetarded]

So wrong.

[uwoodyjk]

oddly

[cassidybates]

well put. I hate when people say they don't like radiohead because it reminds them of coldplay.

[LENNYlanes]

blur is really good just not as good as radio head, and maybe he is genius but it takes something phenomenal to get through to the audience like these few amazing artist do. i was a big korn and bullshit band kid as i got a little older and found radiohead it blew my mind and they will be hard to touch as far as talent and creators. muse is copying the crap out of everyone, but sound good.

[Redkillahh]

To be honest, radiohead are famous, but they're not that popular, and not too many people know them, i asked someone if they knew the beatles and they said no, so much for being remembered.

[ThisGuysRetarded]

Also I think Coldplay is overdone, they are not humble at all.

[fiveminutefilm]

if anyone wondered why the Corrs are in bangor this is a big clue , then skip to the part where she made it

[bigdunk9]

Yeah it will, that's the way the worlds heading. When nob heads like 'chipmunk' are considered innovative 'artists' and are constantly in the charts then devolution has well and truly begun.

[bigdunk9]

Or just poor versions!

[bigdunk9]

I like Blur, but I think people will forget them as generations pass, I don't think Radiohead will be forgotten for as long as music is a popular activity amongst mankind! I just lumped them in as bands that I think will be forgotten, but that's not to say I dislike them, I am a fan of Blur and dislike Oasis.

[bigdunk9]

The most creative, talented band since The Beatles. They may not have been as acclaimed as they should have been in the 90's but in generations to come Oasis will fall by the wayside, as will Blur, and other generic 90's karaoke bullshit. Proper music will stand at the top. Bands like The Beatles & Radiohead will be remembered for generations.

[chrischrist2u]

:') it's beautiful

[huracarlos]

Im having troubles with my med school studies...this song can save my life...

[Myfaceisonfirenow]

High school feelings are flooding back to me.......

[Scott17quebec]

a perfect song for a perfect album for a perfect band

[lpycb42]

They are such geniuses I can't even explain it. Way ahead of their time.

[salahtulis]

gak tahan gw bawa'annya nangis mulu denger lagu ini

[freakmoth]

this song is perfect, OK Computer forever

[Ckordobah]

Radiohead ? to be very honest. Not one album have I Disliked. I have never new of another Group or band that has been able to do this for me. Many Groups have a lot of Good Music but to transend Barriers and to go where most Musicians never go Radiohead for me is at the Top of the Pyramid. If I ever hear another person compare Radiohead to Coldplay ! Ugg! If they only knew that Coldplay is completely Institutionalized Music. for the

lemmings in this Society. Sorry for being Straight Forward

[stoniruca]

No need to be sorry for being straight forward! Work that opinion.

[Ckordobah]

Thank's Friend,, I know a little overboard but Coldplay OMGosh

[Ckordobah]

Thank's Friend,, I know a little overboard but Coldplay OMGosh Ooo and Great Dog by the way.. A lot of Playing around ayh ?

[mellowtonen]

@Ckordobah for real...It seems that Coldplay stole Radioheads sound, dumbed it down and manufactured it for mass comsumption!

[BlackTreeRomania]

@Ckordobah the last album dissapointed me

[pills2749]

This has to be my all time favorite song. When I first bought the album I listened to Karma Police and Paranoid Android first, but when I let the whole CD play, this song, these lyrics...man, for what ever reason stuck with me. Not just that, but the way the song has a sense of going from small to big. Beautiful song.

[poshtwat]

God if for some crazy reason i could only ever listen to one song, this is the one. Let Down = Best Song Ever Written!

[MrBjammin99]

just absolutely beautiful!

got to see them live last year in Toronto at the molson amphitheatre and it was just magic seein them outdoors with the night sky. Probably was the most perfect night i've ever had

[starmist1]

Really glad someone recommended this song. Radiohead is so amazing.

[morduinAnduin]

Ok computer + 10!! XD

[eobasi]

i love this song!! radiohead rule!!

[basisti94]

I so must buy OK Computer when that collectors edition gets released! This is just brilliant

[Mr11MUSICMAN]

@basisti94 I already got it.
