Which 'In Rainbows' song earns frontman's praise?

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has revealed his personal favourite track from latest album 'In Rainbows' in an interview with BBC 4 Today Programme.

Speaking about his thoughts on the record, the singer confirmed that 'Videotape' in his most treasured track.

"I wanted to put it first until someone pointed out if you did that everybody would turn straight off," he joked.

Explaining his connection to the track he explained, "I like it because it very much happened despite me and the others taking the reigns - we turned it into this really stripped down thing."

"Personally speaking, that’s my favourite thing we’ve ever created because it has the inexpressible substance going on behind the specifics of the song, so I’m really proud of that."

The first single from the album, 'Jigsaw Falling into Place', will be released on Janurary 14.
