Favourite Radiohead Song?

With a massive discography of 8 studio albums, EP's etc, what's everyone's favourite Radiohead song?

For me I'd say No Surprises. Just a beautiful, beautiful song. If I'd to pick one from each album;

Pablo Honey: Lurgee
The Bends: Street Spirit (Fade Out)
OK Computer: No Surprises
Kid A: Kid A
Amnesiac: Pyramid Song
Hail To The Thief: 2+2=5
In Rainbows: All I Need
The King of Limbs: Give Up The Ghost

Notable mentions to more obscure songs like How I Made My Millions, True Love Waits, The Thief among a few!

And no abuse to those that pick Creep

I don't mean to be cliche, but 'Street Spirit' hands down. 'Karma Police' is a gem too, though

That's pretty rude to be honest, for a start 8 studio albums and a backlog of EP's is pretty big for a band that's been going for 20 odd years.

Also fair enough if you don't like Radiohead but if you're going to have an opinion, be a bit more constructive and less negative on a thread FOR Radiohead fans

One of their most recent performances of this shows just how great Radiohead still are, and how stuff like Exit Music will stand the test of time. - http://youtu.be/kYJUPy7nHwA

Also, this is one of their new songs, Identikit - http://youtu.be/dFEpQ6iObaM

My favourite is Exit Music (For A Film). I also love Creep (cliched answer, but..) and High & Dry. The Gloaming has always been a favourite of mine too.

This is hard. I have many favourites but sometimes I prefer some of their songs to others and then it changes.
If I had to narrow it down to one probably 'Where I End and You Begin'.
I like this thread so OP I'm gonna pick my favourites (atm!) from each album too

Pablo Honey: Anyone Can Play Guitar
The Bends: Street Spirit (Fade Out)
OK Computer:No Suprises
Kid A: Either 'Idioteque' or the Kid A B Side 'Fog' which is amazing (especially the live version)
Amnesiac: Knives Out
Hail To The Thief: Where I End and You Begin
In Rainbows: Jigsaw Falling Into Place
The King of Limbs: Lotus Flower

So hard, as I love so many and it depends what mood I'm in. I'll have to do the one-from-each-album thing.

Pablo Honey = Creep
The Bends - The Bends
OK Computer = Let Down
Kid A = Everything In Its Right Place
Amnesiac =Pyramid Song (probably overall fav if forced to pick)
Hail To The Thief = Wolf At The Door
In Rainbows = Weird Fishes/Arpeggi
King of Limbs = Bloom

non-album songs from past = Cuttooth
new songs since KOL = Staircase

in rainbows and Kid A are my favourite albums, in rainbows is amazing. wasn't so keen on their last album though.

Weird fishes - house of cards - in limbo - Separator - fake plastic trees - karma police - meeting in the aisle - everything in its right place - sail to the moon - there there

also the ambient track from kid a which i don't remember the name of, so calming.
