The 5 worst Radiohead videos

Earlier we praised Radiohead’s ability to make fantastic music videos. This is definitely something worth celebrating considering music videos aren’t what they used to be. However, while Radiohead definitely makes memorable videos, not every clip they’ve been a part of is worth celebrating. In fact some are downright forgettable.

Yes, that’s right not everything Radiohead does is the best thing ever done by any band in the history of bands. Want proof? Here’s five Radiohead videos that represent the band’s bad side.

5. Anyone Can Play Guitar

This is what happens when a good song gets a bad video. And what’s up with the turkeys?

4. Fake Plastic Trees

Pretty, bright colors and Thom Yorke in a shopping cart do not a good video make.

3. Stop Whispering

You know how hippies say “It was the 60s, everybody was doing it.”? Well, it was the 90s and everybody was doing it.

2. Go to Sleep

Computerized Thom Yorke doesn’t look so cool in this clip

1. Pop is Dead

Yep, that’s Radiohead in this video and yes that is Thom Yorke in that glass coffin.
