    Vitalogy by a million miles. By far PJ's best album and one of the best albums ever made in my opinion.

    theres not a single song i skip on the bends.

    the only songs i listen to on vitalogy are tremor christ, not for you, satans bed, and immortality.

    now if this were the bends vs. no code, i'd have a dilemma.

    Yeah I don't even know what he's talking about in terms of an album like Kid A, but the Bends is a straitforward, guitar driven rock album.

    He's obviously never heard it before.

    Hey Dave go find a bridge and dump a month's worth of your fecal matter into the water. Dive in and get inspired to write another one of your shitty albums.

    Totally agree, obviously never heard the Bends, Radiohead's materpiece, and there is no "bunch of weird noises" on there. The only thing that seems weird is the solo in My Iron Lung, which just didn't seem to be something Johnny could pull off live, but of course he can

    That is exactly how I felt. No single song I skip on The Bends, but some I do skip on Vitalogy; and if this were No Code vs The Bends, I would have a dilemma as well.

    Street Spirit (Fade Out) is my all-time favourite Radiohead song

    i would say its a better comparison to OK computer, but its like picking chicken wings or pizza.

    both are great.

    however, there is a reason ok computer is in the top 10 all time albums and vitalogy isn't

    Well i'm thinking the concept behind OK Computer is what makes it so appealing to critics...but aside from that I wish somebody would tell me why OK is held up in such high regard musically.

    They're good but The Bends is better.

    All I hear is Yorke's highpitched wail and some nursery rhyme type guitar throughout the whole album...Don't get me wrong there are memorable songs on there but I find The Bends and Kid A a much more pleasurable listen.

    Again I think the concept behind the album is genius...but musically it ain't that great.

    I love Vitalogy but the Bends is just genius...not a bad song on the entire album. Maybe if Vitalogy didn't have Foxymop ;)

    What's the difference between Foxy Mop and anything off Radiohead's last three albums. Not much IMO
