10 Most Underrated Radiohead Songs

2. Climbing Up The Walls - OK Computer

For your average Radiohead fan, there's a lot of people scratching their heads right now. Since even filler tracks like Fitter Happier have gone down in infamy, how would anything off of the record OK Computer be considered underrated in any capacity? Underrated is a subjective term, and Climbing Up the Walls is a case of a song that deserves to be a lot more celebrated than it is at the moment.

Up until this point in the record, you already knew that Radiohead had been going for a darker mood, talking about getting desensitized from the world of technology and not being able to connect with anything human. Though there may have been some hope on some of the other tracks, this song taps into something that's a lot more violent and disturbed, as if it's been sung by some lunatic who's keeping people trapped in his basement.

While it's easy to make the connection to a serial killer or stalker, the line "either way you turn, I'll be there" says a lot more about anything in our lives, from the phone that some of you are reading this on to the evil that exists in every single human heart. Compared to the sunnier sounding songs on OK Computer, this is the kind of music that Heath Ledger's Joker probably has playing in his head.
