Fake Plastic Trees was brilliant and to this day, still resonates, if not even more poignant now. You can see it almost everywhere you go.

To still be able to hear and feel the desolation every time I listen to that song, 3 decades later, is pretty incredible to me.

Rubberband Man and I didn’t even have to take more than fifteen seconds to decide.

Spinners!

Same - no slight to the other songs, which are also very good,, but Rubberband Man is a gem.

Tough call me for.

brownstone, I never really even liked...so thats an easy exclusion.

The other three...close for me. There are so many other Radiohead tunes i prefer- even though i like Trees- so it knocks the tune down a little for me.

So..between Rubberband and Loser.

While i think Rubberband has better legs, even though the repetition of "rubberband" in the lyrics made it a kind of goofy meme when i was a kid, I gave the nod to Loser...mostly because it was the auspicious announcement/arrival of pretty cool artist and the song would always get everybody bopping at the bar.

Loser for me and not terribly close (though I do like Radiohead). Loser was a near anthem when I was a kid.

I’ll always remember Jack, down the hall from us in the dorm, blasting loser and NIN’s animal on full blast on repeat for a full day after his girlfriend dumped him. His roommate said he was okay, but we weren’t really buying it.
