Radiohead

I bought the bends a while back liked it, then a few weeks ago bought OK Computer and im thinking this is best album ive ever heard and now just bought KID A and Hail to the Thief and both are great in their own right. From a few friends who have dug them for awhile they disagree on Amnesiac and Pablo Honey. Each One Loves the other and hates the other. My budget has allowed one cd purchase with my next paycheck, what should i pick up ?

jsaso

bands from uk are mostly famous cause they are from UK
both...a this is not the case here...legends

kid a.
go with amnesiac

The Bends is the only album I like alot by them.........OK Computer might be the most overrated album ever.

I'll get a lot of crap for it, but I'd go with Pablo Honey. Creep, Blowout, and You are great songs. There are a few crappy songs on there, but I feel it outweighs some of the depressing noise on Amnesiac. I really love I Might be Wrong and Knives Out on Amnesiac, but the rest doesn't grab me on the album like it does live.

my friend hates pablo honey cause its like standard rock without the weird noises and my brother loves it cause it has no weird noises. i like some songs and dont care about others on both of them. i probably listen to pablo honey more, but i would recommend amnesiac if you want something more experimental.

Dude, smoke a bowl then listen to it. I thought that at first listen then the next listen i was hight and i could hear all the little noises in the background and it was just fucking cool. With every listen i hear something new, thats what i love about it.

The songs just arent quality to me, The Bends has much better tunes on it......Pablo Honey as well. Cant even stand Karma Police anymore.

El_Kabong

you should get the my iron lung ep!!

i love pablo honey and amnesiac...depends on if you liked the bends or kid a better. amnesiac was recorded at the same time as kid a except for 1 track which was the demo for a song on kid a. amnesiac is also a bit more political and pablo honey is more poppy in a way, but still sounds really good. more guitar on pablo honey

radiohead's albums have so many layers to them, especially from ok computer on

need to be listened to w/ headphones at least once

Evacuation Rules

The release of the "Paranoid Android" video and "OK Computer" album in 1997 was like witnessing the release of "Sgt. Pepper" or "Nevermind" or something like that, at least here in America. I was blown away the first time I saw that video and heard that album, and so were all of my friends. We couldn't believe it was something NEW. "OK Computer" was the album that made them superstars in America, becuase it was so much better than the previous two albums, you couldn't help but take notice of them at that point. Their next two albums were challenging, but I think they achieved true greatness again with "Hail To The Thief", which I may like even more than "OK Computer". And judging from the new songs they've been playing, their new album might be their best yet.

I disagree completely. Many songs on Pablo Honey and The Bends are unimaginative and of the lame indie/college rock variety. OK Computer is of so much better quality, it's not even funny.

amnesiac without a question - pablo honey is crap.

and yes, ok computer is awesome
good band right there

Romanza

So I assuming you have all the Radiohead albums, and are wanting ideas for another band's album to buy?

MUSE - BLACKHOLES AND REVELATIONS - buy it and you'll think it's what Radiohead could have been had they gone the same route post-OK COMPUTER.

you couldn't be more off centre if you ask me. bellamy and yorke have similar vocal styles - that's it.nothing more.

The bends is awesome!

Ok Computer is good but over rated in general by the music world.

Kid A is awesome

Amnesiac is also good.

Hail to the Thief is also a pretty good peicee of work.

Pablo Honey is pretty good but is pretty inferior to most of their work.

Blind Melon

Amnesiac by a long shot... Pablo Honey really isn't good, there are only two good songs on it (if anyone owns the CD, they know what I'm talking about, haha [or I hope they do...])... but Amnesiac just is awesome... it's a more mysterious album than Kid A... I think, definitely not as good, but it's got some amazing songs.

I've only listened to Pablo Honey once all the way through... if any other regular band out there had made this album, it most likely would've been better, but since Radiohead made it, it's not good... yunderstand?

of course OK Computer is overrated, it's treated like the second coming of jesus, but that doesn't mean it isn't a brilliant album because it clearly is.

I would rank the albums like this

1)OK Computer
2)The Bends
3)Kid A
4)Amnesiac
5)Hail to the thief
6)Pablo Honey

and the My Iron Lung EP is great also.

buy Thom Yorke's solo album (the eraser).
It's fucking awesome and better than pablo Honey (some nice tracks but bad production) and Amnesiac.

Agreed. Doesn't mean that the album isn't their best, and overall a great album.

SlowFade

Can't believe that no one mentioned "Airbag:How's My Driving?" ep. It's all the b-sides from OK Computer, and has great songs on it. I would buy this before amnesiac and Pablo Honey.
