10 Most Underrated Radiohead Songs

10. Sail To The Moon - Hail To The Thief

There's the old joke that's been going around the Internet that Hail to the Thief is Radiohead's "angry album." Being the first record being released in the Bush administration of the US government, you can tell from the album cover that these guys had a lot of stuff to say. That doesn't mean that they lost their touch for some of the more introspective moments.

Along with the more rock leaning tracks like 2+2=5 and Go To Sleep, there's a lot more inner turmoil going on in this track, with one of the more emotional vocal performances that Thom would lay down during this era. Though there are a lot of guitars on here to be sure, this is definitely a piano song if there ever was one, as Thom's contempt for the higher ups being a lot more cynical sounding than brow beating.

Considering this album was also the result of being recorded over a handful of weeks in Los Angeles, there's a lot more organic feel to the way that everything is mixed, as if you're hearing the band play it in real time. They haven't turned their backs on the Kid A era of their career either though. If anything, this feels like they took the atmosphere they created on Kid A and brought it into the rehearsal room to flesh it out in real time.
