Personal selections from Spotify attempting to highlight all of the projects from Radiohead’s original lineup: Thom Yorke, Colin & Jonny Greenwood, Philip Selway, and Ed O’Brien. I’ve continued to find more contributions as I dig further into their discography, but the 85 tracks (6.5 hours) listed here is a start!
I’ve attempted to put these in order by when they were recorded, although exact release dates are elusive for many of the singles and re-releases, such as “I Promise”.
Here’s a chart of all the tracks. Full details in XLSX or ODS files.

Here’s a pre-Radiohead “High and Dry” performance, when Yorke played with the Headless Chickens (c. 1990).
There are a number of tracks I couldn’t find on Spotify, such as “2HB” (where Yorke and Greenwood contributed as part of the band Venus in Furs) on the Velvet Goldmine soundtrack.
I’ve seen them live just once, in Cincinnati 2018. Nice that many of these shows are bootlegged on YouTube!
Ed O’Brien made public statements about the “Let Nature Sing” track, which I can get behind fully. So I’ll conclude with the RSPB’s completely natural birdsong.
Special thanks to Steven Hyden for inspiring this exploration. His “Every Radiohead Album (Plus Solo Records And Side Projects), Ranked” article on Uproxx in January served as a great starting point.
