I'm not sure how I would go for 8-10, but I like Stavros' top 7.

I think we should have an In Rainbows track there, or else it looks like our list is too biased towards earlier Radiohead

Maybe Reckoner

the other two could be Street Spirit and Knives Out

I like that, though I think No Surprises should be on there

I think To Kingdom Come should be higher, above Moth's Wings

Hmm, yeah I think that one should be around #5 ahead of Moth's Wings. Also I'm not sure about the top 4 but overall I think it looks fine

Purple Haze is an easy #1.

what do you mean easily? I can see either being #1, but I like All Along the Watch Tower at #1 personally since I consider it to be a better song. However, Spanish Castle Magic, Crosstown Traffic, Little Wing, Castles Made of Sand or Bold as Love not being in the top 10 is sad. I think those tracks are more deserving than Night Bird Flying.

Yeah, I think that "All Along" is the better choice for #1. They're both hugely acclaimed and influential, but "All Along" is more broadly popular and is the song that always gets used on TV when they want to show that it's the turbulent late 60s. (If they want the late 60s to seem more peaceful, they go with "Time Of The Season".)

"Little Wing" is number four.

No idea why "Night Bird Flying" is there. I think "Crosstown Traffic" would be a better choice. Or maybe even "The Star Spangled Banner".

I think this is the first time I agree with you. I don't think PH is an easy #1 but I think it does slightly better than AAtW. It has bigger acclaim, bigger influence and popularity is only a close win for AAtW.

Also look at this. They're quite close but PH is indeed higher.
