Immerse Your Soul In Love - The Radiohead Thread


Didn't think it's that hot a take - The Bends was like my gateway drug to Radiohead but eventually you're so far down the rabbit hole it's not even worth turning around to see where you came from.

Should clarify my list, relatively speaking is more:

In Rainbows > Kid A >>> Ok Computer / Amnesiac / HTTT >> TKOL / AMSP > The Bends >>>>> PH
 
1. In Rainbows
2. The Bends
3. OK Computer
4. Kid A
5. Hail to the Thief
6. Pablo Honey
7. A Moon Shaped Pool
8. Amnesiac
9. King of Limbs

KOL is the only one I don't really care for at all. The Bends was my #1 for a looooooong time, but there is something about In Rainbows that just feels so Radiohead-y.
 
Yes, very hard for me too to see The Bends in 8th place. That is when I fell hard for Radiohead, and possibly on some days is my favourite of theirs in my heart (even if my head understands OK Computer is "better").

Fake Plastic Trees is still one of my top 5 all time favourite Radiohead songs, as an album though it falls short as it doesn't have the diversity of the others.

Well I consider the king of limbs being rated the hottest take but that’s just me, I think that album stinks so bad haha!

I still think it’s a very hot take, it’s pretty much 12 red hot singles and I rarely see it outside the top 4/5 in lists...
 
Saw him live in December, really great show. He had two other musicians, one of whom was Nigel Godrich. Played equally from Eraser and TMB which an encore of Suspiria. Flea joined for an Atoms For Peace track.

That's great, hope Flea & Nigel are on the European tour as well, that would be amazing. I was hoping it wouldn't be just a "DJ Set" but an opportunity to also try out some future Radiohead songs.

I mean what's the worst song on The Bends? Nice Dream? That song rules.
 
I love all the albums equally, even Pablo Honey(Blow Out is soooo good) but I find myself not replaying the bends as much in full.

The King of Limbs is one that is slowly climbing to my favorites too. Short and sweet but weird enough.

I followed a blog about TKOL and with the supposed hidden symbols / conspiracies and potential rumors (that never came to fruition) about TKOL 2. I think it flows really well and again, amazing live!

Oh it’s weird, very very weird and it actually does have the odd good song but too much of it is just ambient noise, I struggle to find even the merest semblance of a tune or a hook in there. Pablo Honey is messy but sure has it’s highlights. It’s the sound of a band that has potential but hasn’t found themselves yet.

I haven’t seen it live but I disagree about it flowing. It’s orobbaly one of the most disappointing releases by a band I love for me.

I remember following all the sites and rumors too. I have a soft spot for TKOL after seeing this live too. Took in a whole different skin from that point on for me.
