“Just” is definitely one of my favorite 90s songs – I can’t say I’m a massive Radiohead fan or anything, but I can’t get enough of this song, even 13 years after its release. It rocks hard, it’s great to sing along with, and I love the last 45 seconds – when it all quiets for a second and the drums are funky and the guitar screeches and then it all becomes the most glorious cacophony of sound.
Radiohead – Just
Plus, it’s got one of the best videos the 90s had to offer – I’m still wondering what was going on with this poor guy (but it would ruin the whole thing if we knew, don’t you think?):
I really can’t think of any other music that I’d want to watch over and over again like I have done with this one. I really think it’s among the best ever. There are enough band shots to break up the action, but they’re integrated so well that it seems natural. It’s wonderful!
Exactly! Videos usually get boring after the first couple viewings, but this one is still awesome after all this time. I watched it just to make sure I remembered it right before I posted it and it was like watching a tiny movie that I wanted to see the end of. I’m totally with you on this – if I made a list of the best videos ever, “Just” would definitely be on there.
Love Just!
It was actually that song/video that made me hooked onto them after Creep ages ago.
I remember Fake Plastic Tree was out before Just but I wasn’t fond of it. But now its also a classic.
The Bends is so far my favorite album by them.
