9. 'Reckoner'

Radiohead spent an unusually long period of time tinkering with "Reckoner." The song was first heard live in 2001, though at the time it was called "Being Pulled Apart By Horses." A stripped down version popped up at later shows, though it wasn't until the release of In Rainbows in 2008 that it was finally recorded. It was worth the wait. It's one of the highlights of the album and even better when they play it live. Also, check out Gnarls Barkley's cover of the song
