(Just in case you're wondering what phase of the cycle I'm in today.)

Actually I have a question that I'm probably not going to get any answers to...
If you're among the people who have only a very vague idea of Radiohead, and have a couple of minutes to spare (experts need not apply):
Based on what you know from the media/your friends/(my lj ;-)), which of these two songs more or less represents your idea of what Radiohead sound like:
Song #1:
http://youtu.be/Ze9Z-Fhp0EE Not sure if I can embed the second one (and man, was it difficult to find this... someone's been 'round the net and geoblocked pretty much everything since the last time I searched for RH stuff, it seems! I distinctly remember all this being accessible, a few months ago.)
Here's Song #2. Or is your idea not represented by either?
Or by both? I mean, obviously they *do* sound like both, as those are both actual RH songs. But I'm interested in hearing which of the two fits your preconception of the band's sound better.
Basically, I'm curious because lots of people have pretty precise ideas about people's ideas about RH. And the tendencies embodied by the two songs above - either the one, or the other - are kind of what people expect people to expect RH to sound like. :D
