The Bends and OK Computer are practically companion albums. I don't see how you can like one and not the other.

I generally agree, although I think The Bends was more ripe with alt-rock influences, while OKC was more experimental and a bit more out there.

The order of my favorites with many bands vary all of the time, so what was number 1 a year ago might not number 1 today.

This. There was a time when I would have called Radiohead my favorite band, but lately I haven't been able to get into them at all.

This was the only Radiohead thread I could find, so *bump from the grave*

I got my first ever Radiohead album on a whim today in Best Buy. I've listened to it twice so far, and while I can't say I'm 100% sold on it, I really like what's going on. The music is much better than I had expected. Oh, I should also mention that it's OK Computer.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #119 on:** July 20, 2010, 07:00:09 PM »

You of all people are JUST buying your first Radiohead album?

*smacks*

Good choice on OK Computer though. You could probably go straight to Kid A due to your weird music tastes.

sonatafanica · « **Reply #120 on:** July 20, 2010, 07:02:00 PM »

thecrowing always told me that if I listened to Radiohead then I personally should start with Kid A, but the only edition they had there was a special edition and I didn't want to risk spending more than $12 on something I wasn't sure I was going to like.

I started with OK Computer too and I think it's a great place to start. But it's not very reprentative of their entire body of work since the band progressed so much through the years.

ConstantMotion · « **Reply #122 on:** July 20, 2010, 10:38:30 PM »

My favorite period of the band is The Bends/OK Computer/Kid A/Amnesiac. Although I find appreciation in Pablo Honey, and the later albums Hail To The Thief and In Rainbows as well.

Radiohead would have to work extremely hard to match those four albums that I've listed above. Although I agree that OK Computer is a natural progression from The Bends, and Kid A and Amnesiac is practically a double album in itself.

Zantera · « **Reply #123 on:** July 21, 2010, 03:38:37 AM »

OK Computer is brilliant, but i would rank all the later albums higher.
The Bends is also really good, but overall Radiohead is so damn good.

Album-rankings:

1. In Rainbows
2. Kid A
3. Amnesiac
4. Hail to the Thief
5. OK Computer
6. The Bends
--
Pablo Honey (haven't heard it yet, slap on wrist?)

skydivingninja · « **Reply #124 on:** July 21, 2010, 07:49:34 AM »

From what I've heard, you're not missing much by not hearing Pablo Honey. I still haven't heard Amnesiac though.

jag66 · « **Reply #125 on:** July 21, 2010, 08:32:43 AM »

Pablo honey is average, basically a poor man's bends (if that's your least favourite, you're even less likely to like it).

KevShmev · « **Reply #126 on:** July 21, 2010, 08:46:31 AM »

Pablo Honey isn't bad, but it just pales in comparison to the brilliance of everything else they have done.

sdn, you need to hear Amnesiac. "Pyramid Song" will completely destroy you.

That was my #1

Zantera · « **Reply #129 on:** July 21, 2010, 09:28:05 AM »

Pyramid Song, PLSIACTB are my favorites on it, but its a great album overall.

orcus116 · « **Reply #130 on:** July 21, 2010, 09:38:47 AM »

I forward a motion to ban acronyms and just use shortened names. Two or three words of a song title will suffice as an identifier.

sonatafanica · « **Reply #133 on:** July 21, 2010, 10:07:39 AM »

I'm not 100% sure, but I think I heard that they were working on a new album. I could be wrong, though.

Radiohead are making progress in the studio. The band started recording past Winter and are currently in the studio working on the last bits. Ed O’Brien said it will be a matter of weeks till it’s finished and hopes to see the release before the end of this year. ‘It has got to. I hope so’

Great collection of songs there; many of my favorites are in there.

Fluffy Lothario · « **Reply #138 on:** July 28, 2010, 08:10:49 AM »

The thing with Radiohead is, I don't get into most of their full albums much, and when I do, not in the sense that I'd play them right through often. But my favourite 3 or 4 tracks on each album I really like, so looking at that list makes me realise I probably like them as a band more than I might think.
