If any band deserves bashing in this thread, it's Radiohead, which would at least be on topic.

Besides, they haven't made a good album since Kid A, so I think they would deserve it.

 

[FitzChivalry]

I never really noticed the slight similarity between "Karma Police" and "Sexy Sadie" until LMP mentioned it in one of the Best Beatles Survivor threads.


And, I actually really like HTDAAB, except for Miracle Drug and Original of the Species. I think the rest is pretty damn good, maybe not great, but definitely good and fun.

we've bashed radiohead before

Well, I would argue that Amnesiac and HTTT are good albums, but just not great ones, like Bends, OK, and Kid.

Radiohead

 

[martha]

This thread sucks now.

Yes. Yes it does.

 

[LemonMelon]

Pablo Honey doesn't count.

 

[xaviMF22]

Pablo Honey doesn't count.

and why not

the album sucks


although blow out is somewhat good...

 

[Zoots]

I agree. Although some days I can reeeeally enjoy Amnesiac.

I actually like Pablo Honey for the most part but it is definitely last for me in the album ranking.

I love this video

pyramid song
you and whose army
i might be wrong
knives out
hunting bears
like spinning plates
life in a glasshouse

 

[djerdap]

Pablo Honey has You and Blow Out and those two are among Radiohead's best rock songs. Lurgee and Thinking About You are also good. Never cared about Creep, the rest of the album is mostly crap.

Amnesiac is sometimes really hard to listen to, although, without a doubt, You and Whose Army?, Pyramid Song and Like Spinning Plates (live) are masterpieces.

 

[Zoots]

OMG The Bends!!!!

I love The Bends! OMG!

As awesome as OK Computer is, it cannot compare to The Bends!

Did I mention I abso freakin lutely love the Bends???!!!111

Those are the best songs! But I would include Stop Whispering and Creep (despite radio overplay).

 

[LemonMelon]

The Bends is great, but it's a pretty average 90's alterna-rock album compared to OK Computer, which is perfect in every way possible.

Bends needs to be cranked up loud to be truly appreciated. OK Computer could be played through a 3-inch Gameboy speaker at the bottom of the ocean and still be better than the Bends.

 

[FitzChivalry]

The Bends is great, but it's a pretty average 90's alterna-rock album . . .

Ok, Lemon. Now you need to back that statement up with some proof.

So what other 90's alterna-rock albums is The Bends just on par with and not towering above in sheer greatness?

 

[Zoots]

The Bends is great, but it's a pretty average 90's alterna-rock album

What???!!!
What???!!!
What???!!!
What???!!!



You can never convince me that The Bends is average. I think you're talking about Pablo Honey being the average alterna rock album of the 90s.

For me, on the Bends every song is fucking gold! Every fucking song. Whereas on OK Comp, I like Fitter Happier & Climbing Up The Walls a little less than the other songs.

one of the most malicious posts eva


the bends is awesome

some days I like it better than OKC

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm not saying it's average in terms of songwriting, it just isn't really innovative or anything.

OKC > Kid A > The Bends

 

[Zoots]

I think I like The Bends more than Achtung Baby or Abbey Road.

 

[xaviMF22]

I understand

Zooropa is U2's best album

This is heresy.

Well, I do like Achtung Baby more than Zooropa (although Zooropa is up there too ) and more than almost any album in the world. But with The Bends it comes reeeeeeeal close.
