"Idioteque" is a song by the English rock band Radiohead, released on their fourth album, Kid A (2000). Radiohead developed it while experimenting with modular synthesisers, and it contains samples of two 1970s computer music compositions.
"Idioteque" was named one of the best songs of the decade by Pitchfork and Rolling Stone. Rolling Stone also named it one of the greatest songs of the century so far, and ranked it number 48 on their list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
A live version appears on the 2001 album I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings. "Idioteque" was included on Radiohead: The Best Of (2008).
