What’s sublime? These are the names of the songs on the album.

2 + 2 = 5 is the song Hail to the Thief starts with.

Go to Sleep is another song on the album.

I figured you must know the album because it has you stirred up.

You know their song ‘How to Disappear Completely’- it’s a bit morose and sad and it’s not my first choice when I put on some Radiohead but it’s too beautiful to ignore.

That's exactly the song this one reminded me of, and I agree it's too beautiful to ignore. There's that moment about four minutes into How to Disappear, right after the discordant section, where it resolves into a beautiful crescendo with the strings -- oh man, it's goosebump city.

Another nice strings + melancholy song is Portishead's Roads.

Creep is where a lot of big Radiohead fans start ;-)

Have you heard Street Spirit? From their 2nd album- The Bends. Beautiful and not... Complicated. Just really lovely arpeggio on the guitar, otherworldly vocals. Really cool song. That whole album is a great IMO. It's just a thought.

Thanks, I’ll check it out.
Turned on to Creep in RockBand but never really checked out Radiohead’s other stuff but I will.

I like wide range of rock music Pearl Jam, Collective Soul, Cake, Skynyrd, Allman Bros, Offspring(Clean stuff)
, Killers
I just don’t like the metal and glam rock stuff, not sure where Radiohead fits in.
