Radiohead albums

I like Pablo Honey, it's quite underrated in my opinion, particularly the last half.

 

I voted for Ok Computer because it seems to me to be the last one to have distinct, memorable, nameable songs.

Can anyone name me all the songs on Kid A or Hail To The Thief and know exactly what they sound like? Because I can't.

I appreciate the new albums, but OK Computer just threw me in all kinds of different, crazy directions, from Paranoid Android to Climbing Up The Walls, via Karma Police and Exit Music For A Film, etc.

 

Its either the Bends or OK computer for me. The last couple of albums seem to be 'music to stroke beards by'.

There's only so much of Thom Yorke going "Blahh ya woo innit nee nah biscuit" tunelessly to strange electronic sounds made by a chimp, I can take.

No doubt the new album will be hailed as the greatest piece of music known to humanity by their publishing wing Q magazine. Speaking of which, it is generous of Radiohead to let other bands be on their fanzine.

 

i'd have to say ok computer. i think that if they released pablo honey now, it would be great. the songs don't have enough structure, they seem to go on and not have direction and sort of awkwardly end... but if they had a few albums under their belt, i think pablo would've been one of their great albums. i think Kid A was fantastic, same for amnesiac, new one i am still breaking in.

 

I voted for OK Computer, but probably like Amnesiac second best. I hate to see it doesn't have any votes.

 

this is sooo true. i couldnt remember the name of the album before this one (amnesiac) so i had to do a google search to recall the name....

with that being said, Creep is still my favorite song ever... i try to play and sing creep acoustic version, but the rhythm is so darn hard.

 

Am I the first to say Kid A? The album's lyrics ar really insular (They sound liek they're goingon in a person's head) but still strangely accessible. An intersting balance. Once threatened to sing How to Disappear Completely at a friend's Karaoke bachelor party to spoil the mood.

 

I said OK Computer, but The Bends is a close second for me.

 

I voted for OKC though only one of my ten favorite RH songs is on it (No Surprises). It just works the best as a full album. And, I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings isn't on your list. I could listen to "Idioteque" from that constantly and always hear something a little different in it.

The Bends has 4-5 fabulous songs, and some clunkers.

Both Kid A and Amnesiac have brilliant stuff but they should have been one really good album instead of two near-great albums.

Pablo Honey - eh. I never listen to it.

HTTF is too new to say.

 

The one that starts with the xylophone.

I Might Be Wrong is a commercially-available EP with cuts from the Amnesiac tour. Includes IMBW, National Anthem, Everything In Its Right Place, Dollars & Cents, Idioteque, The Morning Bell (the far superior Kid A version), True Love Waits, and Like Spinning Plates. IMHO all of the songs on this are just so much better-formed in concert than they were in the studio.

 

The Bends, easily.

 

It's a tough decision picking between Kid A , the Bends, and OK Computer for me. And Hail to the Thief could actually be their best album, it's just to early for me to have an opinion on that yet. But if I was forced to I would rank them like this:

1. OK Computer
2. Kid A
3. The Bends
4. Pablo Honey
5. Amnesiac

 

I've listened to "Hail" over fifty times now. I don't know enough about music to know if it's their greatest CD, but it's my favorite.

 

That's all that matters.

 

kid a followed closely by the bends.

 

Tough choice, but I'd have to go with OK Computer, though the Bends is a very close second.

 

I've listened to OK Computer more than any other album I own save Achtung Baby.


1...OK Computer
2...The Bends
3...Kid A
4...Hail to the Thief(could move up with more listens)
5...Amnesiac
6...Pablo Honey

 

1 - The Bends
2 - OK Computer
3 - Amnesiac
4 - Pablo Honey
5 - Kid A

 

Besides about 4 or 5 tracks, I loathe Pablo Honey

 

1)The bends, way ahead of the pack
2)Ok Computer, Overhyped, but still a great record
3)Hail to the thief, The record that reestablished my respect for radiohead.
4)Kid A, they lost me for a while there with this one, but learned to appreciate it with time...
