are they good?

should I get any other albums?

They were good enough to make me eager to check out their album.

They don't have too many others...Alligator is generally praised.

i can't get over okc

i dont mean to be unfair to rainbows.

of all these weird creatures
who lock up their spirits,
drill holes in themselves
and live for their secrets.

OK Computer =

best album of the 90's
best Radiohead album
best album post Abbey Road
best everything

 

[Zoots]

I think Ok Computer may have slightly surpassed The Bends in my personal ranking. And it kills me to say this because The Bends has always been my #1.

 

[Zoots]

best album post Abbey Road

what about your fav, zooropa?

 

[u2popmofo]

They don't have too many others...Alligator is generally praised.

?

They have 4 albums and a couple of fairly big EPs.

Alligator destroys Boxer in any and every way. Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers and Cherry Tree are better than Boxer as well.

 

[namkcuR]

It changes all the time for me, but...

1.Kid A/Amnesiac
2.OK Computer
3.Hail To The Thief
4.The Bends
5.In Rainbows
6.Pablo Honey

Oh fuck, let's face everything from The Bends->Hail To The Thief is gold.

So good live. So good. My favorite show of ACL this year along with Arcade Fire and LCD.

And if you're digging it, definitely get Alligator, Cherry Tree, and Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers.

 

[LemonMelon]

what about your fav, zooropa?

Depends on my mood. OKC is more consistent, but Lemon, Stay, and Zooropa are all better than anything on OK Computer.

 

[LemonMelon]

5.In Rainbows

*awaits LemonMelon's patented "HTTT sucks" rebuttal*

At least I'm not flogging the Bends like SOME PEOPLE WE KNOW.

 

[Zoots]

Depends on my mood. OKC is more consistent, but Lemon, Stay, and Zooropa are all better than anything on OK Computer.

I think Ok Computer is better than Zooropa but Achtung Baby is better than Ok Computer. Yeah.

Oh fuck, let's face everything from The Bends->Hail To The Thief is gold.

I even love Pablo Honey though!

 

[LemonMelon]

I think Ok Computer is better than Zooropa but Achtung Baby is better than Ok Computer. Yeah.

Where does Automatic For The People fit in there?

 

[Zoots]

Where does Automatic For The People fit in there?

Oh man! This is getting harder.



1. Achtung Baby
2. Ok Computer
3. Automatic For The People
4. Zooropa

Up > Automatic for the People

There, I finally said it.

 

[u2popmofo]

Someone should make a top 10 favorite albums thread. I would very much be liking that.

 

[LemonMelon]

Up > Automatic for the People

There, I finally said it.

Murmur, Monster, Document, Automatic > Up

Of course, we're getting off topic now.

 

[Zoots]

Up is fantastic I agree but I can't see it being better than freakin Automatic.

 

[Zoots]

Someone should make a top 10 favorite albums thread. I would very much be liking that.

Okay who wants to do it?

 

[namkcuR]

Out Of Time > Automatic

 

[LemonMelon]

Zoots, what's your take on Loveless? You can't call yourself a Nineties Nut without having an opinion on that one.

 

[u2popmofo]

Someone should also make a "rate REM's albums" thread.

 

[u2popmofo]

Zoots, what's your take on Loveless? You can't call yourself a Nineties Nut without having an opinion on that one.

That would likely show up in a top 10 favorite albums thread by me.

 

[Lancemc]

Loveless is a seminal 90's work. I fucking love it to death.

 

[Zoots]

Zoots, what's your take on Loveless? You can't call yourself a Nineties Nut without having an opinion on that one.

Sure I can! There are several 90s classics I can think of before I think of Loveless. Besides..... I've never even heard Loveless.

 

[Zoots]

Someone should also make a "rate REM's albums" thread.

I haven't seen you make a thread in quite some time I think.

 

[LemonMelon]

I've never even heard Loveless.

Somebody help this man out! It's mind-bending, life-changing stuff.

 

[Zoots]

Hahaha isn't it like weird shoegaze noise? Beautiful noise?

 

[xaviMF22]

Radiohead >>>> REM

 

[namkcuR]

I've never heard Loveless either.
