If they took the best out of Kid A and Amnesiac and made one album, it would have been as good if not better than OK Computer.
Radiohead were masters of manipulation of the critics. Yes Kid A was somewhat out there but they had their guitars back out for Hail to the Thief. Jigsaw Falling into Place from In Rainbows wouldnāt be out of place on the Bends.
Then all the shit around the āfreeā release of In Rainbows.
Your man yorke has an extremely punchable head on him.
Thatās true. No denying that.
Nah, Pablo Honey was an excellent album when it came out, creep was a brilliant song until it got played out the gap.
I guess they donāt play it anymore, probably havenāt for a very long time but Iād love to hear creep live now

Agree to disagree on all counts.

So they do it seems, just watched them play it at Glastonbury, looked class.
Great song in fairness
The cream always rise to the top of the set list
Thank god they didnāt play it last year in Dublin anyway.
The Bends is a brilliant album. Donāt think thereās a bad song on it.

Creep is plagiarised from All I Need is the Air That I Breathe.
Surely that has to count for something.
Albert Hammond Sr et al are officially registered as songwriters of Creep following a legal action.

On balance thatās quite a well composed list. Iād obviously do some things differently. I wouldnāt rate My Iron Lung as highly for example but I also respect how important the song was to the bandās evolution. They could have thrown in Talk Show Host or Black Star and they need Let Down in there but whatever. Electioneering is another personal favourite but no-one else seems to like it.

Jigsaw Falling into Place, (nice dream) and Decks Dark would be in my top 5 Radiohead songs.
Have seen them five or six times at this stage, and when gigs come back, Iāll hopefully see them a few more times. A truly brilliant band.

One of the greatest. Tore the hole out of Pablo Honey, The Bends and OK Computer and then largely ignored them for the past 15 years but have revisited those other albums recently. Some gems in there.
