Been a fan for a while. Honestly, "OK Computer" would have to be on my top 5 if I had to choose of favorite albums. For some reason lately I keep going back to that album. It's something about it. What do you think? |

they were my favourite band from... early 2008 until some months ago. i saw them live in march and it was one of the best shows i've seen. if i'd have to do a list from better to worst of their albums, it would be:
hail to the thief
amnesiac
kid a
ok computer
in rainbows
the bends
i don't count pablo honey firstly because i hate it with a passion and second because i think it's just a different band that has nothing to do with radiohead. |

I agree with you totally there. |

I agree with you totally there. I love Creep, obviously, and Karma Police, AND paranoid android but I'm not a huge fan. I find it all a bit depressing =/ Perfect if your an angry teenager, but if I'm in a cheery mood I'll prefer to listen to something like... Mika jokeeees ;) |

I seem to have avoided even hearing Radiohead. |

Radiohead can do very little wrong. Kid A and Hail To The Thief are top albums for me, though it's hard to pick. |

bit overrated methinks (sorry!).
ok computer, the airbag/how am i driving? ep (. . . or, hell, let's say the collector's edition bonus disc) -- it's all solid gold as far as i'm concerned, the my iron lung ep as well. i can't really get into the experimental side of things. half of kid a is pretty good, but it makes me uncomfortable.
and despite being an awful album, i love pablo honey for the cheesy brit-grunge (WHY!?) it is. a record so bad it's good. |
or maybe not |

Radiohead were one of the first bands I got into in a big way and I still think they're really good, although I don't listen to them so often now. I think all of their records have got at least one or two songs to recommend them (come on guys, even Pablo Honey has got Creep, Stop Whispering and Anyone Can Play Guitar on it), and I think it has more or less been established now that no one can ignore that mid period sequence of albums from The Bends to Kid A as there was so much growth and development...
They have been one of the most interesting turnarounds in rock history (everyone had written them off after Pablo Honey) and they are still an intriguing, constantly evolving band-probably one of the bands of the last 15 years or so who have evolved significantly and in interesting/unexpected ways since Talking Heads, and if you look back to before that, they can be compared to David Bowie for a similar kind of thing.
They may not be in the Top 40 singles every week, but they are kind of past that point where they needs that to survive-they can folow their muse and stick to their guns trying to do new stuff (I think In Rainbows easily beats Hail to the Thief and Amnesiac and pushes in new directions)...
And they're fantastic live too... :-) |
